Seeing the unseen in bladder cancer surgery

Ten years ago, a discussion in Milan set a demanding project in motion. In a meeting between a biologist and a urologist, one question kept returning: why do so many bladder cancer patients face recurrence even after surgery that follows every guideline?

AI cancer tools may be using visual shortcuts rather than true biology

New research warns that popular deep learning systems trained for cancer pathology may be relying on hidden shortcuts rather than genuine biological signals.

Rare airway condition: Sarah Carroll's journey to breathing freely

"It was just really hard to breathe," says Sarah Carroll, recalling the earliest symptoms of idiopathic subglottic stenosis (iSGS). "It felt like there was something in my throat that was stopping me from breathing."

ATP delivery fixes dysfunctional dopamine packaging in Parkinson's neurons

A new study shows how dysfunctional packaging of the neurotransmitter dopamine triggers toxic processes in neurons - and how this can be repaired with simple delivery of energy (ATP).

Targeted fluorescent probes for high-contrast cancer detection

Cancer is a universal issue that affects uncountably many people around the world. Many will turn to surgery in the hope that a surgeon will be able to completely remove a tumor, leaving healthy tissues unaffected. Various tools and techniques have been developed over the years to improve the way these surgeries are performed, and visual imaging methods such as glowing dyes have proven to be very useful.

Machine learning predicts who will decline faster in Alzheimer’s disease using routine clinic data

Researchers developed and validated ElasticNet machine learning models that predict 12-month MMSE and BADL outcomes in Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment using routinely collected clinical data. The cognitive model demonstrated external validation in ADNI, showing that individualized progression forecasting is feasible without biomarkers or neuroimaging.

Study maps how NF-κB regulates gene expression in cells

To further the quantitative understanding of cellular decision making, Dr. Gregory Reeves and his team in the chemical engineering department have worked to interpret how a transcription factor dictates the alteration of gene expression in cells.

Scientists discover how muscle stem cells "flip a switch" to rebuild damaged muscle

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine's School of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences have discovered how muscle stem cells "flip a switch" to rebuild damaged muscle – a finding that could help address muscle loss linked to aging, injury and widely used weight-loss medications.

Targeted PET/CT tracer improves early prediction of treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis patients

A new targeted PET/CT tracer can detect treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis patients in as little as four weeks, and potentially even at the start of treatment, according to new research published in The Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

Engineered proteins track gene expression in living primate brains

Gene therapy has been successfully used to treat a number of diseases, including immune deficiencies, hereditary blindness, hemophilia and, recently, Huntington's disease, a fatal neurological disorder.

Solving the mystery of a year-long pain crisis

Taffy Hopkins, 73, was in debilitating pain for a year, leaving her bedridden. The Palm Beach resident had been told she was simply experiencing migraines, but the migraine medications did not work and left her suffering, with no answers in sight. After seeking care at NYU Langone Medical Associates—West Palm Beach, 1515 North Flagler Drive, she finally received a diagnosis—and relief.

Imaging technique can objectively identify a recently recognized type of dementia, LATE

A novel quantitative PET- and MRI-based imaging approach can objectively identify a recently recognized type of dementia--limbic-predominant age-related TDP-43 encephalopathy, or LATE--that is often mistaken as Alzheimer's disease.

Georgia State experts to play a key role in the largest study of profound autism

Experts from the Translational Research in Neuroimaging and Data Science (TReNDS) Center at Georgia State University will play a key role in the largest study ever conducted to investigate the causes of profound autism in children and develop possible treatments.

Heavy alcohol intake is associated with dangerous belly fat accumulation, large UK study shows

In a large UK population cohort, higher weekly alcohol consumption was dose-dependently associated with greater visceral fat mass measured by DXA, independent of total body fat. Heavy drinkers showed over 10% higher proportional visceral fat compared with lower consumption groups, a pattern linked to increased cardiometabolic risk.

Study reveals nature's profound impact on brain health and well-being

Spending time in nature, even briefly, triggers changes in the brain that calm stress, restore attention and quiet mental clutter, a new study has found.
