Portable PS-OCT scanner could reveal donor liver health without biopsy

Each year, thousands of patients in the United States wait for a liver transplant, while transplant teams must make rapid, difficult decisions about whether donor organs are suitable for use. Many of those livers, particularly from older or medically complex donors, require caref

Long-term stroke data reveal stem cell therapy's safety, biological activity over years

Previously unpublished long-term clinical and imaging findings from participants treated with an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neural progenitor cell therapy for chronic ischemic stroke were presented at the ISSCR 2026 Annual Meeting.

Evidence reveals that the language of thought is not natural language

Some people find it useful to talk through their problems—but language isn't necessary for logical reasoning, cognitive neuroscientists at MIT's McGovern Institute for Brain Research say.

Glycoprotein G unlocks genital herpes spread to nerves, revealing vaccine target

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a key protein that allows the virus that causes genital herpes to get into the nervous system. The discovery, made in experiments on mice, could pave the way for future vaccines against the disease. The study is publishe

Hidden pocket reveals new way to target prostate cancer's 'undruggable' ERG protein

In the United States, prostate cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related disease and death in men. About half of prostate cancer cases in patients of European ancestry have a gene rearrangement in which the genes TMPRSS2 and ERG are fused together. This causes the ERG protein t

Hidden metastases reveal clues to colorectal cancer recurrence

Researchers identified a six-gene signature in microscopic colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases that may help predict recurrence after treatment. The findings suggest these tiny, often undetectable tumor deposits could serve as a tissue-based marker of residual cancer cells,

Brain imaging reveals how neural networks coordinate multiple streams at once

Working with concurrent electroencephalogram and functional magnetic resonance imaging technology at the Beckman Institute's Biomedical Imaging Center, postdoctoral researcher Suhnyoung Jun and her colleagues have investigated how the brain connectome's dynamics unfold across dif

Eye movements reveal personal 'fingerprints' as people explore unfamiliar scenes

Walk into a crowded coffee shop, and what catches your eye as you take in the scene could say as much about you as the spirals on your fingertips or the mutations in your DNA. Eye movements are so unique, in fact, that they could be used to identify you through objects that have

Disordered collagen may help explain hip fractures beyond bone density, X-rays reveal

Fractures of the femoral neck are not simply due to insufficient bone density. Also significant is their nanostructure—the orientation of the collagen fibers that make up bones, according to research conducted by scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI using a new X-ray tec

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,

Do your dreams have smells? New study on 'blind minds' reveals vast differences in imagina

It's common to think we all have similar experiences of life. But the more we learn about other people's hidden thoughts, the more evidence there is that this is untrue. For instance, not everyone has the same ability to have imagined sensations. Most people can visualize—they ca

Demystifying the molecular mechanisms of general anesthesia

Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Birkbeck, University of London, have identified a site where a commonly used anesthetic binds to sodium ion channels, revealing a molecular mechanism that may explain how these drugs dampen communication between neurons. Ion channels are
