New type of immunotherapy could change the treatment plan for triple-negative breast cancer

Triple-negative breast cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers. The name tells the story: It lacks the three main targets that make other types of breast cancers more treatable with powerful therapies.

New computer model lets researchers simulate how brain circuits make decisions

Every day, your brain makes thousands of decisions under uncertainty. Most of the time, you guess right. When you don't, you learn. But when the brain's ability to judge context or assign meaning falters, thoughts and behavior can go astray.

People with multiple sclerosis found to have dysbiotic oral microbiome

With ads everywhere for pro- or pre-biotic foods and supplements, most people are familiar with the gut microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that colonize our digestive tract-and the idea that keeping our gut microbiome healthy improves our overall health.

New drug combination shows promise in treating colorectal cancer

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common tumors among people over the age of 50. Although it is known to develop from small lesions or polyps, its exact causes are unknown — only a few risk factors are known — and it is usually treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, or biological therapies.

AI algorithm proves more accurate than experts in glaucoma detection

While artificial intelligence (AI)-powered screening has been validated for diabetic retinopathy, applying the technology to glaucoma has proved more challenging because glaucoma is not one disease. A glaucoma diagnosis is based on a constellation of symptoms, diagnostic tests, and longitudinal data.

Noninvasive optical system measures blood flow with precision

Measuring how well blood flows to the brain is crucial for understanding a wide range of neurological issues, from strokes to migraines to traumatic brain injuries. Obtaining such measurements noninvasively, however, remains a challenge. The scalp and skull not only obstruct viewing the brain directly but also have their own blood supply, further complicating cerebral blood flow measurements.

Babies born eight-ten weeks early can be milk fed from the start, study finds

A major study has found that babies born between eight to ten weeks early can be fed with milk through a tube in their stomach straight after birth rather than being given intravenous feeds through a drip.
