Lab tests often check older tetracycline antibiotics instead of doxycycline. A new review shows doctors can still safely rely on those results to prescribe doxycycline for certain bacterial infections. @jdelpoleo doi.org/10.1093/jac/dkag353

Struggling to hear foreign accents? Your brain might try to mouth the words instead. People with weaker hearing precision rely more on speech-motor areas to tell new sounds apart, while better listeners need less effort to learn. @kazuyasla doi.org/10.1037/xge0001991

Telling calcium and magnesium apart in salty water is notoriously tricky. New research reveals the exact chemical conditions needed to separate these two similar minerals reliably. @ghadeeralbalawi doi.org/10.1039/D6AY02005D

Why do some cancer drugs harm only certain patients' hearts? By testing heart cells from 20 people in a single dish, scientists found key gene differences that explain why heart damage varies from person to person. @joseph_c_wu doi.org/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.1…

Scientists have created a reusable nanocatalyst that turns old plastic bottles into valuable materials for making new products. This brings us one step closer to a circular, waste-free plastic economy. @sp_heterocat doi.org/10.1021/acsami.6c150…

A new heart failure implant proved durable and safe for patients with reduced heart function, but it increased health risks for those with preserved function, showing that treatment must be tailored to the patient. @hfcollaboratory doi.org/10.1016/j.jchf.2026.…

Scientists replaced toxic lead with silver and bismuth to create a new, highly stable material for solar cells. This tweak prevents rapid breakdown and lets researchers fine-tune how it absorbs light. @takayamamoto33 doi.org/10.1021/acs.inorgche…

In a severe form of heart disease, cell centers tear open and spark inflammation. Researchers found that stopping these tears restored normal gene activity, boosted heart function, and helped mice survive. @lammerdinglab doi.org/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.1…

AI scoring models struggle to grade spoken language across different tasks because they miss the flow of real conversations. Students still liked the feedback, but it shows AI has a way to go to match human graders. @yishii_0207 doi.org/10.29140/dal.2026.10…

Before birth, human blood stem cells are much more flexible than adult ones. While this helps build our early @boierslab doi.org/10.1182/bloodadvance…

Guidelines recommend standard blood thinners after routine heart stent procedures, yet about a third of patients still receive stronger medications, though their use has slowly declined in recent years. @aymanfathmd1 doi.org/10.1161/CIRCINTERVEN…

Decades after childhood scalp radiation, patients with brain tumors called meningiomas respond less effectively to targeted radiation therapy. A new study finds these tumors are often more resistant to standard treatment. @elbaztehila doi.org/10.1093/neuonc/noag1…

How do you measure things you cannot see, like thoughts or feelings? A new guide shows how psychologists can @vthorrf doi.org/10.1111/bmsp.70080

Chemists created a reusable catalyst made of single metal atoms that can build complex molecules. It easily breaks down after use, but a simple wash with household ammonia restores it to work again and again. @lcsolab doi.org/10.1021/jacs.6c11697

Analyzing western blot lab tests usually takes hours of tedious work. A new, free online tool automates the entire process, cutting analysis time by 65 percent while keeping the exact same accuracy. @bioinfoadv doi.org/10.1093/bioadv/vbag2…

Earth is moving into uncharted territory, with nearly half of its key climate indicators now at record extremes. While clean energy is growing fast, we must cut fossil fuel pollution much faster to avoid dangerous tipping points. @williamjripple doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biag1…

When prostate cancer returns after radiation, a precise new radiation treatment can safely control it. Genetic testing @abhiasolanki doi.org/10.1200/JCO-25-02730
