Scientists have known for a while that methotrexate helps with inflammation, but it may also help lower blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease. [ + ]

Optical microscopy is a key technique for understanding dynamic biological processes in cells, but observing these high-speed cellular dynamics at high spatial resolution has long been a formidable task. [ + ]

A newly developed tool utilises AI to predict how cells repair their DNA after it is cut by gene editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9. [ + ]

Vaccination with either the recombinant herpes zoster vaccine or the live-attenuated zoster vaccine was associated with a statistically significant lower risk of stroke and heart attack compared to no vaccination. [ + ]
