Researchers link Alzheimer’s disease protein to development of preeclampsia
Researchers at Wakayama Medical University in Japan have discovered that amyloid-β deposits disrupt the formation of the placenta and may therefore contribute to the development of preeclampsia during pregnancy. These amyloid-β deposits are similar to those characteristically found in the brains of Alzheimer’s disease patients. The findings will be published January 20 in the journal Life Science Alliance.

Switching immune cells to “night mode” could limit damage after a heart attack, study suggests
Researchers at Yale University School of Medicine have identified a way to suppress the daily fluctuations in the activity of key immune cells known as neutrophils. The study, to be published December 12 in the Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM), suggests that inhibiting these fluctuations could prevent neutrophils from causing excessive tissue damage during daylight hours, a phenomenon that may underlie the fact that heart attacks in the early morning are more damaging than heart attacks suffered at night.

Novel open-source diagnostic tool offers affordable, reliable pathogen detection for resource-limited settings
A bottleneck in ensuring access to widespread molecular diagnostics, especially in low- and middle-income countries, has been the high cost and logistical complexities associated with rapid, point-of-care tests. Now, a collaborative research effort outlined in a Life Science Alliance (LSA) study to be published July 14, 2025 has addressed these challenges by developing a lyophilized (freeze-dried) open-source reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) assay for pathogen detection.

Embargo policy

Rockefeller University Press (RUP) makes embargoed material available to eligible journalists and public information officers for research articles appearing in its journals: Journal of Cell Biology (JCB), Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM),  Journal of General Physiology (JGP), and Journal of Human Immunity (JHI). Eligible individuals must agree to follow the terms of the RUP embargo policy:

• Stories or reports on research articles may not be published or placed in the public domain until 10:00 a.m. US Eastern Time on the day of publication. Precise embargo dates and times are clearly marked on all advance material.
• Public information officers (PIOs) may not distribute embargoed materials in the public domain before the embargo date. However, embargoed materials may be distributed to the media by public information officers. Such releases must be clearly identified as embargoed and must include the embargo date and time. PIOs are responsible for taking all necessary steps to ensure that the embargo is honored by all third parties.
• All material from RUP journals can be reused without permission for noncommercial purposes, but must be attributed to the appropriate journal and shared expressly under the same restrictions. See our Creative Commons policy for more information.
