Tracking the flow of cerebrospinal fluid reveals an unprecedented view of the brain's glym
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a technique to noninvasively visualize the brain's waste-removal system in unprecedented detail. This new imaging approach allows researchers to examine how this system is altered by conditions including ischemic stroke, agin
Scientists discover a biological 'pencil' that improves health through nutrition
A new international clinical intervention study published in Clinical Nutrition reveals the molecular and transcriptomic mechanisms through which a dietary intervention may beneficially influence gene expression. The study, led by Prof. Iris Shai and Dr. Hila Zelicha Peer from Be
Hidden mechanism driving joint tissue growth in rheumatoid arthritis has been found
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have identified a specialized population of immune cells that plays a central role in driving abnormal tissue growth in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), offering new insight into disease progression and potential treatment strategies. T
Geometric neural 'map' may help bilingual brains navigate between languages
Anyone who speaks more than one language knows the feeling of expressing the same thought through entirely different linguistic lenses. A new study by researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine reveals that the key to this translation ability is a shared geomet
Emerging mRNA vaccine strategies target cancer and pathogenic viruses in potent new ways
The technology that gave the world mRNA COVID vaccines is being tested in a variety of new ways, and emerging research reveals that a crucial T-cell population can be reprogrammed in animal models by reimagining the science that was introduced to the public at the height of the p
Popular GLP-1 weight loss drugs are being misused by people struggling with eating disorde
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), such as Ozempic or Wegovy, have revolutionized type 2 diabetes and weight-loss management, but they have also led to some unfortunate outcomes. A recent study in JAMA Psychiatry has raised concerns that GLP-1 medications may
How the brain's physical shape guides its internal wiring
A new study led by Monash University researchers has shed light on the factors shaping the intricate wiring of our brains. The research, published in the journal Cell, reveals that the brain's complex wiring diagram, known as the cortical connectome, does not form at random. Inst
Study reveals how early-life cellular process helps shape lifelong immune health
Researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) have uncovered a critical link between the immune system in early life and its function in adulthood. The study, published in Science Immunology, identifies a new role for specialized skin immune cells, called Langerhans cells, in
Study reveals how leukemia cells enter and damage lungs
Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, a new study shows how blood cancer cells enter the lungs, damage tissue and cause severe breathing problems.
How AI has moved from the sidelines to the center of health care
A new CSIRO report titled "AI Trends for Healthcare" reveals how AI is now embedded in real-world clinical settings for more connected, safer and more efficient health care.
Large multiple sclerosis brain cohort reveals biological differences linked to disease sev
Why does multiple sclerosis progress quickly in some people, while others remain stable for years? Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have identified biological patterns in the brain that may help explain these differences. Their study shows that these pa
