AI Learns to Predict Breast Cancer Risk from How Single Cells Respond to Pressure
Lydia Sohn | Via Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News | April 24, 2026 A study headed by researchers at City of Hope and the University of California, Berkeley has found that physical and mechanical properties of normal human mammary epithelial cells can offer a “functional readout” of biological age and breast cancer susceptibility. The team created a novel, high-throughput microfluidic platform that can assess women’s breast cancer risk [...]Study lays groundwork for mutation-specific Rett treatments
Mriganka Sur | Via Rett Syndrome News | April 22, 2026 Different mutations can have different effects on brain cell activity Different mutations that cause Rett syndrome can have divergent effects on brain cell activity, a study found. The findings “hold promise for understanding mutation-specific mechanisms of Rett syndrome, and developing targeted mutation-specific therapeutics,” the researchers wrote. Through a series of experiments using cell models, the [...]Why inflammation persists in cystic fibrosis—even after CFTR correction
Gordana Vunjak-Novakovic | Via EurekAlert | April 20, 2026 Chronic lung inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF) often persists even after treatment with newly-approved gene therapies or small molecule CFTR modulators—an unresolved clinical paradox. A new study published in EXO - Beyond the Cell identifies a potential explanation: inflammation is driven not only by intrinsic defects in immune cells, but also by lasting changes in [...]Synthetic Biology and Tissue Engineering Grow Liver Tissue In‑Body
Sangeeta Bhatia | Via Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News | April 20, 2026 Damage to the liver in patients developing end-stage liver disease has become too severe for the organ’s normally extraordinary regenerative capacity to repair or compensate for that damage. Once this point of no return has been reached the only option is an organ transplant. However, donor livers are in high demand and very limited supply.
