Study suggests spatial memory decline may be preventable and not universal

In the realm of memories, "where" holds special importance. Where did I leave my keys? Where did I eat dinner last night? Where did I first meet that friend? Recalling locations is necessary for daily life, yet spatial memory - which keeps track of "where" - is one of the first cognitive abilities to fade in old age. And deficits earlier in life can be a telltale sign of dementia.

AI serves as a tool to fight drug resistance and accelerate new antibiotic development

Researchers at McMaster University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made two scientific breakthroughs at once: they not only discovered a brand-new antibiotic that targets inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), but also successfully used a new type of AI to predict exactly how the drug works. To their knowledge, this a global first for the AI.

Deadly brain cancer erodes skull bone and alters immune marrow

Scientists at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) and Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown for the first time that glioblastoma-the deadliest form of brain cancer-affects not just the brain but also erodes the skull, alters the makeup of skull marrow, and interferes with the body's immune response.

New software MaGNet automates analysis of breast tissue branching architecture

Branching isn't just for trees. This biological process occurs in animal development, enabling organs to perform complex functions. Branch-like structures form in lungs, kidneys, and breasts, among other places. Importantly, only in female mammary glands does most branching occur years after birth.
