A major new study has revealed that inherited genetic abnormalities—known as germline variants—play a significant role in cancer progression. Conducted by an international team of scientists, including Kathleen J. Imbach and researchers from the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute (IJC), the study offers fresh insights into how these inherited mutations influence cellular behavior across various cancer types.

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä’s Faculty of Sport and Health Sciences have uncovered a potential new explanation for muscle memory—one that goes beyond what we’ve known about genes and muscle nuclei. For the first time, they’ve shown that muscles retain a "memory" of previous resistance training at the protein level, with these effects persisting for over two months after training stops.

New research has revealed that even a simple circadian clock network has sophisticated noise-filtering abilities, offering new insight into how biological systems maintain precision amid the chaos of the natural world. The study, published in Nature Communications, shows how biological clocks can adapt to environmental changes—like shifting light levels or temperature—while staying remarkably accurate.

Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLMIn a recent study published in Fundamental Research, researchers propose a novel interpretable neural network model, MULGONET, based on multi-omics information analysis by deep learning to predict tumor recurrence. The model explores the interactions between genes, biological networks, and molecular processes that the scientific community can target to identify novel biomarkers for tumor recurrence.
