Some patient groups are far more vulnerable to near-perfect privacy attacks from medical A

From detecting pneumonia on a chest X-ray to assessing whether a dark spot on the skin is benign or malignant, medical AI systems are playing an increasingly important role in clinical diagnosis. Unfortunately, the models used to train these AI systems are often victims of cybera

Neural pathways reveal a push-pull system for coordinating goal-directed behavior in mice

Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a desired goal. Past studies have highlighted the role of the basal ganglia (BG), a set of interconnected structures deep within the brain, in the selection, con

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

Two studies point to beta cells as active players in type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is widely understood as an autoimmune disease, with the immune system attacking the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. But two new studies suggest those cells may be more than passive victims. Together, the findings indicate that beta cells' own stress

Urgent call for better access to personalized cancer care

A University of Queensland study has found that patient access to one of the most exciting frontiers in cancer treatment is being stalled because health systems struggle to accurately assess its cost-effectiveness. The study, "Assessing Value for Money in Theranostic Nuclear Medi

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.

DNA damage can trigger neurons to self-destruct

Over the past decade, researchers at WashU Medicine have established that a molecule called SARM1 is a central trigger in the loss of axons, the vital wiring of the nervous system. Axon loss is characteristic of many neurodegenerative diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral scleros
