🧬 Take a look inside a 3D tissue bioprinting lab! NIH postdoctoral fellow Dr. Cristina Antich Acedo demonstrates how cutting-edge bioprinting can recreate human tissue structure. By combining different cell types and biomaterials, researchers can mimic real biological environments with precision. 🔬 This technology helps accelerate the path from discovery to treatment: • More predictive preclinical models • Reduced reliance on animal testing • Faster, more accurate drug development

NIH-funded researchers found more than 1,000 odor-detecting receptors in mice and uncovered a previously unrecognized organizational structure involved in the sense of smell. These findings may inform new approaches to treat loss of smell. Learn more: bit.ly/4fu6TqH

NIH has supported research on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), also known as Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS)—a set of symptoms related to a hormonal imbalance—for decades.

Researchers supported by NIH found that blocking brain immune cells from using the sugar fructose for fuel led to improved survival among most mice with brain cancer. While more research is needed to see if this type of approach could work for people, it may be a way to boost the immune system’s response to brain cancer in the future. Learn how these findings might shape future approaches: bit.ly/4dnJh5E

NIH-funded researchers found that a weakened connection between the gut and the brain may contribute to memory loss, at least in mice. While more research is needed to learn if the same is true for people, the findings highlight an interesting link between gut bacteria and brain activity as we age.
