New study highlights potential challenges for using automated AI tools in health care

In experiments in which physicians made decisions about treating hypothetical patients, the physicians tended to trust incorrect advice presented as being generated by artificial intelligence (AI), even after being given the opportunity to notice that patient recovery data contra

Researchers discover new form of hereditary prostate cancer

Researchers at the University of British Columbia have identified a new form of hereditary prostate cancer that, while rare, can cause aggressive disease at a young age. The discovery paves the way for genetic testing programs that could help identify at-risk families and support

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,

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

New genetic switch could improve gene therapy for drug-resistant epilepsy

Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, making it one of the most common neurological disorders. Although medication helps many patients achieve seizure control, approximately one-third continue to experience seizures despite treatment. Seizures often arise when t

Anticancer 'nanoswitch' technology shows promise in animal model of triple-negative breast

A research team led by Professor Yoosoo Yang (Department of Integrative Biotechnology) of Sungkyunkwan University, in collaboration with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) and Incheon National University, has developed a next-generation anticancer immunotherapy

Links between genetics and cognition change across childhood

Rare DNA changes are most strongly linked to cognition in early childhood, but the link fades as children age, while common DNA changes show stronger links later in childhood, a new study finds. The research was reported July 10 in Nature Human Behaviour by researchers at the Wel

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,
