Machine learning model can identify likely non-responders to exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation

Exercise training is a cornerstone of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) for patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and current guidelines rate it as a top-tier recommendation for reducing the risk of future cardiovascular events.

Multifunctional nanoplatform addresses three key barriers to effective TNBC immunotherapy

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is one of the most aggressive and treatment-resistant subtypes of breast cancer, accounting for 15-20% of all cases.

Bonsai software visualizes complex biological data as branching trees

Modern biology research can now generate valuable data on an unprecedented scale. But there is one major obstacle: making sense of these complex high-dimensional datasets.

AI-powered DANDELION identifies overlooked genes linked to asthma

One of the most important goals of studying genetics is to find genes that are involved with diseases. The problem is that most diseases aren't caused by a single gene or mutation.

Machine learning creates a color wheel for complex odors

If you want to describe a particular color, you could look to the Pantone color wheel to find its exact hue, saturation and brightness, and how it compares to other colors. But nothing like that has existed for complex odors.

Scientists create brain organoids with distinct cortical regional identity

The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how it's organized.

Only three of 1,357 FDA-cleared AI devices tested patient outcomes

Researchers found that among 1,357 FDA-cleared or approved AI/ML-enabled medical devices, only 34 were linked to registered clinical trials and just three had been evaluated for patient-centered outcomes. The study highlights major gaps in prospective testing, demographic representation, transparency, and evidence showing whether medical AI meaningfully improves patients’ health.

Psilocybin may make the brain more organized than scientists expected

In 62 adults, researchers combined fMRI, EEG and machine learning to examine how psilocybin reshapes brain activity during rest, meditation, music and movie viewing. They found that context-sensitive neural organization tracked the intensity and quality of psychedelic experiences and was associated with next-day mindset change.

Review examines how medical imaging foundation models are moved toward clinical use

AI is already widely used for lesion detection, disease classification, and outcome prediction in medical imaging, but most systems remain narrowly designed for one task and depend heavily on expert-labelled data.

AI-driven drug-target interaction prediction moves toward real-world workflows

Drug-target interaction prediction can help researchers explain mechanisms of action, identify candidate targets, reposition existing medicines and prioritize compounds before costly laboratory work.

Researchers map DNA's physical code using large-scale simulations

Nearly every cell in the human body contains essentially the same genetic information, yet different cells activate different genes. For regulatory proteins to reach these genes, DNA must be accessible.

FDA-cleared medical AI rarely tested for real-world benefits

A new analysis shows that, of 1,357 artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical devices authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in patient care, only three had been tested on whether they actually improve patients' health.

A single blood test could offer a glimpse of disease risk years in advance

Machine learning-derived cellular aging clocks mapped more than 7,000 plasma proteins to over 40 cell types, revealing marked differences in how individual cell populations age. These blood-based signatures were associated with future risks of Alzheimer’s disease, ALS, lung cancer, type 2 diabetes, and mortality across follow-up extending to 15 years.
