by Kaykobad Hossain Carcinomas are the most prevalent form of cancer, which is characterized by malignancies of epithelial tissues. Bladder cancer, one of the costliest cancers to treat, is ideal to investigate epithelial morphogenesis at early stages of tumorigenesis due…
Something positive about Norwegian winter? Cold memories control whole-body thermoregulatory responses by Ulrik Larsen Exposure to cold induces long-lasting changes in physiology that persist beyond the cold period itself. This study investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of this phenomenon,…

Shayla Sharmine and I had the opportunity to write an editorial about recent work published in Acta Physiologica on the role of Decorin on pancreatic islets. Shayla did a really great job on generating a nice figure summarising the published…
by Fatemeh Rahmatabadi This article by Sosa et al. explores the biology of disseminated tumor cells (DTCs), which are central to cancer relapses and metastasis. DTCs can spread early during tumor development—even from non-invasive lesions—and persist in distant organs such…
by Shayla Sharmine The endocrine pancreas produces hormones that regulate glucose homeostasis in the body. Among three major regulatory hormone-producing cell types, delta cell is known to regulate the secretion of somatostatin that counter-regulates insulin and glucagon production through intra-islet…
by Thomas Aga Legøy Today, Nature published a new feature examining the most cited papers of the twenty-first century (Pearson et al., 2025). The most cited paper is naturally connected to the neural-inspired algorithms that laid the foundation for deep…
