A team of researchers at Tsinghua University has proposed a mathematical framework for building and understanding increasingly complex artificial intelligence systems by breaking difficult tasks...
Immune checkpoint blockade has reshaped modern oncology, but its success remains uneven. Drugs that disrupt the PD-1/PD-L1 pathway can produce long-lasting remissions in several cancers,...
For decades, rising carbon dioxide has been treated as a natural fertilizer for the world’s vegetation. Give plants more CO₂, the prevailing expectation goes, and...
Manufacturing assembly is entering an era in which the most valuable co-worker on the factory floor may not be human. A new system called AssemblyMate...
A new study published in BMC Geriatrics is turning attention to one of the most overlooked signals in hospital medicine: how much older patients actually...
A new artificial intelligence system has identified a pair of potential disease-modifying targets in Parkinson’s disease, then helped guide experiments showing that blocking one of...
A tiny robot inspired by dragons, qilins, chimeras, fish, and sea lions has demonstrated an unusual combination of speed, strength, and agility. Developed by researchers...
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Aug. 4, 2026 — A new study is showing how artificial intelligence and multi-omic biology can expose therapeutic opportunities in one of...
Radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) is entering a new era in cancer treatment, but one of its biggest limitations has remained stubbornly unchanged: patients generally receive standardized...
The race to build safer, more powerful batteries has brought a once-overlooked class of materials into the spotlight. Researchers from the University of Puerto Rico,...
SPOKANE, Wash. — Working from home is widely regarded as one of the most breastfeeding-friendly employment arrangements available to new mothers. Yet a longitudinal study...
Microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, are moving to the center of neuroscience as researchers seek to understand how they protect neural tissue, respond to...
A molecular investigation into a patient’s unexplained thrombocytopenia has uncovered evidence that the interleukin-33 pathway may play a more direct role in platelet production and...
A new study is putting two very different approaches to breast cancer risk assessment head to head, asking whether primary-care clinicians could identify more women...
Pancreatic cancer is often described as one of the most difficult cancers to detect and treat, but its danger is not explained by malignant cells...
