A study of 440 participants from the Women’s Interagency HIV Study found that accelerated epigenetic aging in monocytes—an immune cell type—tracked more closely with emotional and cognitive depression symptoms such as hopelessness and loss of pleasure than with physical symptoms like fatigue. The work, published in The Journals of Gerontology: Series A, adds evidence that cell-type-specific aging measures could contribute to future biological tools to complement symptom-based depression screening, though researchers say more validation is needed before clinical use.

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis report that while single abnormal cells can mechanically probe roughly 10 microns beyond what they directly touch, groups of epithelial cells can combine forces through collagen to sense features more than 100 microns away—an effect the researchers say could help explain how cancer cells navigate tissue.

Researchers in Brazil have uncovered how pancreatic cancer uses a protein called periostin to invade nerves and spread early. This discovery explains the disease's aggressiveness and suggests new treatment targets. The findings, published in Molecular and Cellular Endocrinology, highlight the tumor's ability to remodel surrounding tissue.
