Evidence date ·What have CAR-iNKT cells done in patients, and what stands in the way?
Review or Meta-AnalysisSmall patient studies found CAR-iNKT cells in tumors and recorded some responses; lasting benefit and reliable production remain unproven.

Evidence date ·Could the condition of your skin change what a cosmetic procedure can do?
Review or Meta-AnalysisA May 2026 review explains how preparing skin may affect its response to lasers or injectables, and what one 90-day comparison can show.

Evidence date ·Why a review treats space hazards as possible triggers for polymer repair
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review surveys polymer repair approaches activated by impact, atomic oxygen, radiation and temperature extremes. Reliable repair in orbit remains unproven.

Evidence date ·What immune cells reveal in patient-derived liver tumor models
Review or Meta-AnalysisResearchers pair liver tumor organoids with immune cells to study treatment resistance. Clinical studies must show whether results predict patient responses.

Evidence date ·Why less creatine uptake did not always mean the transporter was blocked
Peer-Reviewed PaperModels helped select 16 compounds for lab tests. Some appeared to pass through the creatine transporter; two reduced uptake without detectable transport currents.

Evidence date ·What a week of wrist tracking reveals about daily rhythms in people who act out dreams
Peer-Reviewed PaperA week of wrist tracking linked daily rhythms to symptoms and brain imaging measures in people who act out dreams. It did not test whether the rhythms predict disease.

Evidence date ·How aging immune cells may help keep skin inflammation active
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review explores how aging T cells may contribute to psoriasis plaques and the weakened skin barrier in eczema. Targeting those cells directly remains preclinical.

Evidence date ·What a brief forehead recording found about blood and brain fluid in aging and Alzheimer’s
Peer-Reviewed PaperForehead recordings found a stronger inverse relationship between blood-volume and inferred brain-fluid signals in Alzheimer’s than in healthy older adults.

Evidence date ·What LHS 3844 b’s heat can tell us about its rocky surface
PreprintJWST’s infrared measurements favor models of a dark, low-silica surface on LHS 3844 b. They cannot yet distinguish an old weathered surface from a fresh slab.

Evidence date ·How gut microbes may shape plant compounds’ effects on cellular energy
Review or Meta-AnalysisThe review links polyphenols and gut-derived metabolites to mitochondrial upkeep. Human studies have yet to show that this preserves function with age.
