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

Infrared skin sensor tracks deeper hydration at home despite temperature swings

Diagnosis and management of atopic dermatitis, a type of eczema, are complicated by skin temperature fluctuations, unclear responses to at-home moisturizers, and measurement systems that don't penetrate the deep layers of skin affected by the disease.

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
