Rare aging disorder links 'biological clock' to disease

Scientists have discovered a rare genetic condition that causes people to age at a much faster rate, offering fresh insights into the aging process. The study shows for the first time how a "biological clock" present in every cell of the body could contribute to age-related disea

A portable ultrasound system could make reliable breast imaging more accessible

For people at high risk of developing breast cancer, yearly mammograms may not be enough to detect tumors early. To make earlier diagnosis easier, an MIT team has developed portable detectors based on ultrasound, which could be used much more frequently.

Precision fMRI maps prefrontal cortex in individuals, revealing fine-scale structures

Much like camera settings—filters, flashes and focus—affect what we notice in a final photo, the way scientists measure something can affect how we interpret and understand it. This is especially true when imaging things that we can't see on our own, such as activity in the human

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

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
