Research identifies factors for long-term myeloma remission

A new study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai helps explain why some people with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, stay in remission for many years after receiving CAR T cell therapy, while others see their cancer return sooner.

Study reveals the effectiveness of Painimation in decoding pain for sickle cell patients

Pain is a constant, complex companion that clinicians often struggle to understand and measure for people living with sickle cell disease. Traditional pain scales reduce this deeply personal experience to a single number that is often inaccurate.

Empowering early detection of dementia with a dual approach involving AI and patient input

Few primary care practices are designed for the timely detection of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The limited time that primary care clinicians are able to spend with patients, the need to focus on the health problems which brought the patient to the clinic, as well as the stigma of Alzheimer's disease and dementia are major reasons for lack of recognition of the condition.

Early lean mass shapes long-term brain development in preterm infants

Extremely preterm infants with higher fat-free mass at term-equivalent age show better cognitive, language, and motor outcomes through age three. Early lean-tissue growth offers stronger neurodevelopmental insight than traditional growth measures.

Hard water drives a surge in microplastic shedding from polyester, study finds

Researchers found that hand-washing in mineral-rich water dramatically increases microplastic fibre shedding from polyester fabrics, fragmenting fibres into shorter pieces. A two-layer PDMS coating sharply reduced shedding from green polyester but was far less effective on black polyester due to pre-existing surface finishes.

How parental stress and long work weeks shape children’s reading outcomes

Parents working long hours provide less homework help, and this reduced support is linked with weaker reading comprehension in children. The study reveals that parental stress exacerbates this pattern, rendering demanding work schedules even more detrimental to learning.

Switching APOE4 to APOE2 in adult mice reduces Alzheimer’s pathology and improves memory

Replacing APOE4 with APOE2 in adult mice rapidly reshapes brain lipids and gene expression, even after development is complete. This switch, especially when targeted to astrocytes, reduces amyloid burden, dampens gliosis, and improves associative memory despite E2-like peripheral lipid risks.

Breakthroughs in theranostic nanomaterials for traumatic brain injury management

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains one of the most pressing public health challenges, leaving millions with lasting disabilities each year.

Exosomes identified as key mediators in obstructive sleep apnea and its comorbidities

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), a global public health issue marked by repeated upper airway collapse during sleep, is tied to diverse diseases-from cardiovascular conditions to cancer.

Potential breakthrough in treating acute kidney injury with ceramide-targeting drugs

Serious damage to short-term kidney function-known as acute kidney injury, or AKI-can be fatal and also increase the risk of irreversible chronic kidney disease. It can be triggered by stressors ranging from sepsis to heart surgery, and it affects more than half of ICU patients.

Age and flu vaccine type influence immune activation

New research comparing four different flu vaccines found that the ability of the vaccines to activate cells of the immune system that help to protect against infection varied greatly depending on the vaccine type and age of the patient.
