Ultrasensitive biosensor detects early-stage liver fibrosis using small amount of blood

A research team led by Professor Jinsung Park of the Department of Biomechatronic Engineering at Sungkyunkwan University(SKKU), working jointly with Professor Pil-Soo Sung of the College of Medicine at the Catholic University of Korea and Professor Si-Hyun Bae, President of Eunpyeong St. Mary's Hospital, has developed an ultrasensitive electrochemical biosensor capable of accurately detecting "early-stage liver fibrosis"—a condition in which the liver progressively hardens—using only a small amount of blood.

Structural study identifies unexpected cancer-regulating functions of MLL4 protein

The epigenetic modifier MLL4 has an unassuming name-the 4, for instance, indicates it's just one in a family of such modifiers.

New study reveals why autistic teens struggle with sounds of unfamiliar voices

Just like other teenagers, many teens on the autism spectrum are itching to exercise their social muscles. They hope for new friends, fun with people who share their interests, maybe even a romantic relationship.

Imaging technique uncovers how copper imbalance may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases

Using a groundbreaking imaging technique, a University of Houston chemist is uncovering how copper imbalances in the body may contribute to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ALS.

New consensus provides updated guidance for managing prolactinoma tumors

Prolactinomas are the most common functional pituitary neuroendocrine tumors, accounting for nearly half of all hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas.

High physician knowledge scores linked to lower healthcare costs

Patients whose physicians scored higher in the first year of the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM) Internal Medicine Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKA) were significantly less likely to receive low-value healthcare services, which cumulatively cost the U.S. healthcare system an estimated $100 billion each year.

Dysregulation of immune regulator NF-κB drives major human diseases

NF‑κB controls genes involved in inflammation, immunity, cell survival, and proliferation. Triggered by cytokines (TNF‑α, IL‑1β), microbial products, or cellular stress, it translocates to the nucleus and induces pro‑inflammatory mediators.

New approach accurately predicts lung cancer mutations

Scientists have developed a new method for accurately predicting gene changes that cause lung cancer, without the need for slower, more expensive lab techniques.

Robot-guided surgery successfully drains multiple deep brain abscesses

Brain abscesses located deep within the brain can rapidly become life-threatening and are often difficult to treat through conventional surgery. Brain abscesses located deep within the brain can rapidly become life-threatening and are often difficult to treat through conventional surgery.

Cold-exposed mothers pass metabolic protection to male rat offspring through milk

Maternal cold exposure during early pregnancy improved glucose control and reduced liver fat in male rat offspring, with benefits persisting into late adulthood. The findings implicate a breast milk LCA, gut microbiota, and Th17 immune pathway, while human cohort data showed an observational link between winter conception and lower MASLD risk.

Transplanted neural progenitor cells survive one year in patients with retinitis pigmentosa

New, previously unpublished clinical data was presented today at ISSCR 2026 demonstrating that transplanted human neural progenitor cells survived for at least one year following subretinal transplantation in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

Wearable forehead patch tracks brain-water shifts during sleep at home

A soft, wireless NIRS forehead patch tracked water-sensitive brain signals during 16 overnight home sleep recordings in four healthy men. The signals changed with EEG/EOG-defined sleep stages, suggesting a new way to study sleep-linked brain-fluid dynamics, although the device did not directly measure CSF flow or glymphatic clearance.

Six-gene signature predicts colorectal cancer recurrence after liver metastases

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center identified a six-gene signature in microscopic colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases that may help predict recurrence after treatment.

Clinical trial finds stem cell brain transplants feasible for Parkinson's disease

A landmark study led from Lund, Sweden, has shown that transplanting stem-cell derived dopamine progenitor cells into the brain is feasible.

Early detection of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly can help prevent developmental disabilities

Early detection and treatment of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly (CCV)-when a fetus's fluid-filled brain ventricles swell due to a condition called hydrocephalus-can help clinicians prevent developmental or neurological disabilities in affected infants.

KU Ansan Hospital introduces the "Da Vinci 5" robotic system to boost surgical precision

The Robotic Surgery Center at Korea University Ansan Hospital has further strengthened its precision surgical capabilities with the introduction of the latest robotic surgical system, the "Da Vinci 5," marking the first deployment among tertiary hospitals in Gyeonggi Province.
