Medical AI may look less biased on paper but not in practice, new study finds

Large language models (LLMs) are only as good as the data they learn from. If their training data contains social biases, the models may unintentionally repeat those biases in their responses. As their use increases with the rise of generative AI, it has become evident that they

Genome editing in rats enables more accurate estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer mode

Rat disease models have played an integral role in scientific discovery and cancer research, including Nobel Prize–winning work from Charles Huggins on hormone therapy for prostate cancer in 1966. However, technical challenges in genetic engineering of rat models have limited the

Cancer evolution study reveals biology of glioma progression

A form of glioma, a type of brain cancer, tends to progress toward greater malignancy due to an increasing tendency of glioma cells to transform into immature, stem cell-like states, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine, the New York Genome Center,

The same sounds are mapped similarly in the human and mouse brain, study finds

While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not individually process every single sensory experience, but

Advanced climate models used to estimate temperature-related suicide patterns by 2050

A large international team, including researchers from the University of Tokyo, wanted to know whether and how climate change might increase the number of temperature-related suicides around the world. Previous studies have shown that hotter weather is often linked to a higher ri

Researchers reveal immune mechanisms that drive development of rare allergic stomach disea

Researchers at Tel Aviv University have developed one of the first experimental models that faithfully reproduces eosinophilic gastritis (EoG), a rare but increasingly recognized allergic disease of the stomach. Using this model, they identified the immune pathways responsible fo
