Elad Harel is used to shining a light on the mysteries of the natural world.
Working at the cutting edge of ultrafast spectroscopy—the use of short laser pulses to analyze molecular dynamics—the Michigan State University associate professor seeks to uncover how microscopic phenomena impact large complex systems.
One promising frontier Harel has been working on is the development of new methods of microscopy that will allow researchers to observe molecular and atomic landscapes in motion rather than through static imagery. Such work has earned Harel MSU’s 2023 Innovation of the Year award, as well as MSU’s first-ever grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation.
Imagine a supervillain attacking you with his unique superpower of creating small black holes. An invisible force zips through your body at unimaginable speed. You feel no push, no heat, yet, deep inside your body, atoms momentarily shift in response to the gravitational pull of something tiny yet immensely dense — a primordial black hole (PBH).
What would this do to you? Would it cause minor, localized damage, or would it simply rip through your entire body? Physicist Robert J. Scherrer from Vanderbilt University investigated this very scenario. His study examines what happens when a tiny black hole, like the ones formed in the early universe, passes through the human body.
The question is, of course, theoretical; but it does start from a realistic scenario. Unlike regular black holes that form when massive stars collapse, primordial black holes are thought to have emerged in the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang. While “regular” black holes typically weigh millions or billions of times more than the Sun, these PBHs could be incredibly small, with masses ranging from tiny asteroids to planets.
The key breakthrough? Finding a gene small enough to fit inside a viral delivery system. Early results in lab models suggest this therapy could be a game-changer, but further research is needed before it reaches clinical trials.
The Urgent Need for Better Arrhythmia Treatments
Cardiac arrhythmias affect millions worldwide and contribute to one in five deaths in the Netherlands. Current treatment options range from lifelong medication to invasive surgeries. However, new research from Amsterdam UMC and Johns Hopkins University, published today (February 20) in the European Heart Journal, marks a significant step toward a potential one-time gene therapy that could enhance heart function and prevent arrhythmias.
Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, developed Deep Nanometry, an analytical technique combining advanced optical equipment with a noise removal algorithm based on unsupervised deep learning.
Deep Nanometry can analyze nanoparticles in medical samples at high speed, making it possible to accurately detect even trace amounts of rare particles. This has proven its potential for detecting extracellular vesicles indicating early signs of colon cancer, and it is hoped that it can be applied to other medical and industrial fields.
The body is full of microscopic particles smaller than cells. These include extracellular vesicles (EVs), which can be useful in early disease detection and also in drug delivery.
Imagine being able to speed up evolution – hypothetically – to learn which genes might have a harmful or beneficial effect on human health. Imagine, further, being able to rapidly generate new genetic sequences that could help cure disease or solve environmental challenges.
Now, scientists have developed a generative AI tool that can predict the form and function of proteins coded in the DNA of all domains of life, identify molecules that could be useful for bioengineering and medicine, and allow labs to run dozens of other standard experiments with a virtual query – in minutes or hours instead of years (or millennia).
Trained on a dataset that includes all known living species – and a few extinct ones – Evo 2 can predict the form and function of proteins in the DNA of all domains of life.
In the Journal of Translational Medicine, researchers have published the results of a randomized, controlled clinical trial demonstrating that plasma proteins from young donors have beneficial effects against inflammation in a surgical context.
From parabiosis experiments to the clinic.

The US, Europe, and China have all contributed significantly to BCI advancements. Companies like Elon Musk’s Neuralink focus on invasive brain implants, whereas Chinese researchers have made major strides in developing non-invasive and adaptive BCIs.
This latest breakthrough underscores China’s commitment to making BCIs more efficient and user-friendly. By enabling a two-way interaction between brain and machine, the new system takes a significant step toward integrating BCIs into everyday life, from medical rehabilitation to consumer electronics.
The study was published in the journal Nature Electronics.
There are a multitude of products for sale that promise the appearance of eternal youth by erasing wrinkles or firming up jaw lines; but what if we could truly turn back time, at the cellular level? Now, researchers from Japan have found a protein that may do just that.
In a study published this month in Cellular Signaling, researchers from Osaka University have revealed that a key protein is responsible for toggling between ‘young’ and ‘old’ cell states.
As we age, older, fewer active cells, known as senescent cells, accumulate in multiple organs. These cells are noticeably larger than younger cells, and exhibit altered organization of stress fibers, the structural parts of cells that help them move and interact with their environment.
