New postnatal gene therapy offers hope for congenital hearing loss
Hereditary hearing loss affects millions globally, with mutations in the SLC26A4 gene among the most common genetic triggers, particularly across Asian populations. This condition leads to severe-to-profound deafness accompanied by inner ear malformations, such as an abnormally e
Brain–computer interface detects hidden awareness in unresponsive patients
A new approach for identifying signs of hidden awareness in people who cannot speak or move after severe brain injury has been demonstrated by researchers at the University of Bath in the U.K.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy cost-effective for teens with severe obesity
Both Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and sleeve gastrectomy are cost-effective compared with no surgery for adolescents with severe obesity, according to a study published online June 15 in JAMA Network Open.
Immature immune cells predict chances of survival following a heart attack

Mutations let JC polyomavirus evade antibodies, offering clues for vaccines and treatments
In people with severely compromised immune systems, JC polyomavirus can trigger an untreatable, often fatal brain disease. An international research team has identified how virus mutations can strategically interfere with how human antibodies recognize the virus, allowing it to e
Using AI to provide new insights into why Ebola outcomes differ between patients
There is currently a serious outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo of the severe and often fatal illness. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, severe dehydration and hemorrhage. Rapid clinical deterioration is common. University of Liverpool researchers have led
