AI model outperforms breast density assessment in breast cancer risk stratification

An image-only artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting the five-year risk of breast cancer provided stronger and more precise risk stratification than breast density assessment, according to a new study being presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

New platform enables unbiased evaluation of AI algorithms for diabetic eye screening

Researchers have developed the world's first real-world head-to-head testing platform to determine whether commercial artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms are fit for NHS use to detect disease in a fair, equitable, transparent and trustworthy way, using diabetic eye disease as the first example.

Scientists reverse aging in blood stem cells by restoring lysosome function

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes.

Arginine slows amyloid buildup and improves brain outcomes in Alzheimer’s disease models

Arginine reduced amyloid beta aggregation in vitro and in both Drosophila and AppNL-G-F mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease, leading to fewer dense-core plaques and improved behavior. The study provides preclinical evidence that oral arginine may modulate amyloid pathology, although high dosing requirements and model limitations constrain human translation.

Inflammation control can protect against AMD-like retinal damage

University of Minnesota Medical School researchers have shown that reducing chronic inflammation can significantly protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD)-like pathology in preclinical models.

Comprehensive antibody map reveals how SARS-CoV-2 mutations evade immunity

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and collaborators have created the most comprehensive map to date showing how antibodies attach to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes COVID-19, and how viral mutations weaken that attachment.

Discovery of unexpected mechanism may help improve healing across muscle injuries

At the cellular level, the mechanics of how muscle tissue repair occurs gets complicated. There are significant differences between, say, tearing a muscle in a sports injury versus muscle tissue wasting away from diseases like muscular dystrophy.

Scientists urge careful evaluation before applying AI virtual staining in healthcare workflows

Artificial intelligence has exploded in popularity in recent years, and many proponents are excited about its potential uses in medicine: for example, processing samples quickly or identifying markers of disease that may be missed by the human eye.

TRPM1 loss drives rhythmic activity across retinal diseases

Rhythmic electrical activity in the retina (known as pathological oscillations) has been observed in several eye diseases, including congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) and retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
