Boosting mitochondrial function in dendritic cells can improve cancer immunotherapy

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have discovered how tumors disable immune "gatekeeper" cells that alert the rest of the immune system to the presence of cancer - and how restoring their energy production can improve immunotherapy. Dendritic cells activate the cytotoxic immune cells that destroy cancer.

Using machine learning to scan post-cancer health risks

Artificial intelligence (AI) could help physicians determine if survivors of childhood cancer need extra support - and the more information included in AI prompting, the better its performance. This finding, published today in Communications Medicine by scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, may guide future integration of AI into clinical workflows.

New tool identifies harmful nutrition misinformation and evaluates potential risk

A new tool that not only identifies diet and nutrition misinformation online but also evaluates the content's risk for potential harm has been developed by a team of UCL researchers.

Attachment anxiety linked to higher risk of short video addiction

No matter where we turn on social media, short videos are everywhere. Repeated exposure to this brief, information-dense, and rewarding content stimulates the brain in a way that tells us the experience is pleasurable or satisfying.

Study links social media addiction to worse student mental health and points to family as a key buffer

A study of 627 Saudi university students found that higher social media addiction was associated with more anxiety and depression, while family environment fully mediated those links in the statistical model. The findings suggest that supportive family relationships may help buffer the mental health burden associated with problematic social media use, although the cross-sectional design does not establish causation.

TikTok favors non-experts even when doctors post better sudden cardiac death content

Healthcare professionals made higher-quality and more credible TikTok videos about sudden cardiac death, but non-healthcare creators attracted more reshares, favourites, and overall engagement. Sentiment did not differ significantly between groups, suggesting that better information quality does not automatically translate into wider reach.
