Do the twist: Scientists reveal why cats always land on their feet Study of feline spines suggests a hyperflexible region of their backbones is key

Of the many impressive acrobatic qualities of cats, perhaps their most spectacular is their ability to right themselves midair so they always seem to land on their feet. The trick lies in a hyperflexible region of their backbone known as the thoracic spine, a new study finds. https://scim.ag/4rlHodw

Why ‘quantum proteins’ could be the next big thing in biology Fluorescent proteins with a quantum upgrade could offer unprecedented views inside cells.

“In the past, it might have seemed like, ‘ah, that’s likely never going to work’,” says physicist Ania Jayich. “That’s not true any more.”

B cells disrupt tertiary lymphoid structure formation and suppress anti-tumor immunity Chen et al. find that a specific B cell subset is associated with immunotherapy resistance in bladder cancer. IGLL5+ B cells interact with HEVs through IGLL5-LTβR signaling, leading to the impairment of TLSs formation in humanized mouse models. This interaction presents a promising therapeutic target for overcoming immunotherapy resistance in bladder cancer.

Pipeline of new drugs to fight superbugs is ‘worryingly thin’, experts warn UK’s GSK is leading the way in research but AstraZeneca is not involved in the area, report finds * Business live – latest updates The pipeline of new drugs to fight superbugs remains “worryingly thin” and has shrunk by 35% in the last five years, experts have warned, predicting the annual number of deaths linked to drug-resistant infections globally will double to 8 million by 2050. The number of projects from large pharma companies has shrunk by 35% over the past five years, from 92 to 60 medicines in development, according to a report from the Access to Medicine Foundation (AMF), a Netherlands-based non-profit group, and the Wellcome Trust.

This biomaterial becomes stronger when wet Nickel-linked chitosan forms a biodegradable plastic replacement

Most biobased materials soften when they’re wet. A team led by Javier G. Fernández at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia has now shown that the opposite can happen: add a dash of nickel to chitosan, and the material grows stronger in water. #chemsky 🧪

Three round-bottom flasks, one beaker, and an Erlenmeyer flask contain substances that glow different colors under UV light.

“It looks like a tiny solar system. But instead of planets, it’s a snapshot of my research journey in the lab,” says Sadiya Tanga, a chemistry graduate student at Ashoka University. Read more: cen.acs.org/synthesis/Ch...

There is more than one way for triple-negative breast cancer to become resistant to therapy The findings point out a potential new approach to treatment in which physicians could take actions to prevent resistance, increasing the chances of patient survival.

Would a patient's #breastCancer develop #resistance to #therapy? X. Zhang, L Yu et al found a way to predict it. @jci.org @bcmhouston.bsky.social #macrophages #neutrophil blogs.bcm.edu/2026/03/03/f...

Mechanisms driving TNBC treatment resistance identified Researchers have uncovered two mutually exclusive mechanisms that can give TNBC the ability to survive therapy.
