Digital pens and tablets could offer non-invasive tools for routine dementia screening

Handwriting requires a combination of fine motor control and a complex set of mental skills, such as selecting, organizing, and interpreting sensory information, making it a cognitively challenging task. Because of its high demand on the brain, it is a potential marker of cognitive decline, especially as we age. Then, our handwriting often becomes slower or choppier.

Biomimetic nanocomposite hydrogel promotes tendon healing and tissue regeneration

The new system, termed KGN@PB@CM, combines several advanced elements. Prussian blue (PB) nanozymes act as potent reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavengers, while kartogenin (KGN)-a small molecule that promotes stem cell migration and tenogenic differentiation-is loaded onto the PB core.

Opioid-related infections linked to rising amputation rates across United States

Severe infections linked to opioid use often progress rapidly, particularly when access to timely medical care is limited. This can result in devastating health outcomes, including life-altering amputations.

Why AI tools need clearer guardrails in high-stakes health research

AI-enabled research tools can accelerate health research, but their data-science roots may clash with epidemiological workflows built around prespecified designs, causal reasoning, bias control, and reproducibility. The article argues that researchers should integrate AI cautiously, using clear workflow boundaries, peer review of AI outputs, and sustained human accountability.

Neutrophils may play unexpected role in schizophrenia development

The most common white blood cells in your body - immune cells called neutrophils - can make a protein nobody knew they were making, Stanford Medicine investigators have discovered.

Facial micromovements may help doctors measure pain more accurately

Researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick are working to measure pain more accurately beyond the single, subjective question patients are often asked: "On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad is your pain?"

How does the brain recognize new faces and places in milliseconds?

This Communications Biology study used intracranial EEG in 22 epilepsy patients to map how the human brain processes new images of faces and places within milliseconds.. It found that visual information flows from the occipital cortex through parallel dorsal and ventral pathways toward frontal and limbic regions, with distinct timing patterns for faces and places.

UC Davis scientists identify protein key to male fertility

The causes of male infertility can be hard to diagnose, with many tests failing to detect genetic defects. Sometimes, infertility doesn't even involve the genes themselves.

Early neural activity regulates speech-related gene to build communication circuits

Communication begins long before children learn to speak. Researchers at National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) in Taiwan have now uncovered how early brain activity helps build developing communication circuits via regulating FOXP2/Foxp2, a gene linked to human speech and communication disorders.
