New microscope tracks electrical activity across the brain on the scale of milliseconds

Within the brain, neurons compute by generating electrical impulses. These signals travel throughout neurons, which are in turn connected in vast networks that control brain functions such as sensory perception, memory formation, and control of movement.

Coral-inspired scaffold enhances bone repair by reprogramming immune cells

SONFH is one of the leading causes of non-traumatic osteonecrosis. Reported in up to 9%–40% of patients receiving prolonged or high-dose glucocorticoid therapy, the condition progressively weakens the femoral head and can eventually lead to joint collapse, making effective bone repair a major clinical challenge.

AI model predicts cancer subtype, genetic mutations, and survival outcomes across 32 solid tumors

Researchers have developed a novel AI model that can analyze a routine whole histopathology image and simultaneously predict cancer subtype, specific genetic mutations, and survival outcomes across 32 different solid cancers rather than focusing on a single cancer type.

New antibody-specific AI framework accelerates discovery of therapeutic drugs

Designing an effective antibody drug is like searching for the right key in a warehouse of locks. Scientists may begin with millions-or even billions-of antibody candidates, but only a tiny fraction will recognize and bind tightly to the disease target.

New 3D imaging system captures seizures in real time

A seizure is a sudden, overwhelming wave of electrical energy passing through the brain in a matter of seconds - so fast, in fact, that it's been nearly impossible to fully capture where these electrical bursts originate, how they move and where they stop.

Automated MRI system improves improves evaluation of experimental stroke therapies

Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed an automated system that uses MRI to measure brain tissue changes in animal models for large, multicenter studies of experimental stroke treatments.

AI took on doctors in simulated video consultations, and the results were striking

Google researchers developed AMIE, a Gemini-based multi-agent system combining real-time audio-visual perception, clinical reasoning, and low-latency dialogue for simulated video consultations. In a randomized OSCE across 100 clinical scenarios, AMIE Video matched or exceeded primary care physicians across core clinical measures, while patient actors preferred video over text, although real-world clinical validation is still needed.

AI-based methods help uncover hidden roots of tumor metastasis

A cancerous tumor is not a single enemy. It is made up of many different cell populations that can behave in very different ways.

AI-augmented analysis sheds new light on Crohn's disease complications

Scientists have combined Artificial Intelligence (AI), genetics and gut microbiome analysis to shed new light on one of the most serious complications of Crohn's disease: intestinal fibrosis, the irreversible scarring of the bowel that often leads to surgery.
