Multimodal AI brings a new dimension to cardiovascular medicine

Although artificial intelligence has already shown promise in cardiovascular medicine, most existing tools analyze only one type of data—such as electrocardiograms or cardiac images—limiting their clinical utility.

New GoT-Multi technology reveals how cancers evolve and resist treatment

A new tool developed by Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Adelaide investigators has enhanced the ability to track multiple gene mutations while simultaneously recording gene activity in individual cancer cells.

Higher screen exposure in early years tied to weaker academic achievement

Higher levels of screen time in early childhood are associated with lower scores in reading and mathematics on Ontario's standardized tests, with each additional hour of daily screen time associated with a 10 per cent drop in the likelihood of achieving higher academic levels.

New insights into malaria proteins offer pathway to blocking parasite transmission

Using millions of microscope images magnified up to 130,000 times, researchers from Radboud university medical center and Toronto have unraveled the structure of two key proteins in the malaria parasite.

Harvard researchers augment LLM to create expert diagnostic system

Except for one key aspect, the setup is a familiar one in medicine: An expert diagnostician presents a particularly challenging case to a roomful of colleagues, carefully walking them through the patient's symptoms and initial test results.

Deep brain stimulation shows promise in reducing severe stuttering

While stuttering was believed to have purely psychological causes up until about 30 years ago, scientists today attribute it to a variety of factors capable of contributing to its development.

Errors in EPG5 gene implicated in rare infant condition and adult neurodegenerative diseases

Errors in a gene known to cause a serious neurodevelopmental condition in infants are also linked to the development of Parkinson's disease in adolescence and adulthood, according to new research.

Newborn genomic screening may detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions

Adding genomic sequencing to newborn blood screening would detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions, providing much earlier diagnosis and treatment, according to a new study. A baby's genome, which stays with them for life, could also be re-examined if a health issue arises during their lifetime.

Quitting smoking after cancer diagnosis significantly extends survival

Around 25% of people with cancer in the U.S. are active smokers when they are diagnosed, and studies have found that many of them continue to smoke during treatment.

Diabetic teens with poor glycemic control more likely to develop neuropathy in adulthood

Poor blood sugar control in adolescence increases the risk of painful future complications for people with type 1 diabetes, research co-led by University of Michigan suggests.

Engineered virus therapy triggers powerful immune responses in glioblastoma

A new study led by Break Through Cancer's Accelerating Glioblastoma (GBM) Therapies Through Serial Biopsies TeamLab has revealed that an engineered virus therapy, CAN-3110, triggered powerful immune responses deep inside glioblastoma tumors that were invisible to standard imaging like MRI, according to early analyses of two patients with recurrent GBM.

Air pollution plays a significant role in the development of metabolic disorders

Long-term exposure to fine air pollution can impair metabolic health by disrupting the normal function of brown fat in mice. A study co-led by the University of Zurich shows that this occurs through complex changes in gene regulation driven by epigenetic mechanisms.
