Brain barriers shape immune surveillance and immunotherapy responses in glioma
Gliomas are among the most difficult cancers to treat, not only because of their location and invasive growth, but also because they develop inside an...
McGill researchers devise efficient method to flag AI responses needing human review
McGill University researchers have developed a more efficient way to build artificial intelligence systems that can recognize when they may be wrong. Their approach, called...
Mapping gene and epigenetic changes that make undead cancer cells promote inflammation
Cancer treatments that stop tumors from growing may also leave behind a potentially dangerous population of “undead” cells, according to a new study from researchers...
New study explains how RNA droplets may have helped start life
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Before the first cells enclosed chemistry inside membranes, life faced a basic logistical problem: molecules needed to find one another in a...
Lab-grown brain models develop a sense of spatial awareness
IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 20, 2026 — The human cerebral cortex is often portrayed as a single folded sheet of neural tissue, but its remarkable abilities...
Spinach-Derived Peptide Discovery Points Toward Treatment for Citrus Greening Disease
A citrus greening treatment developed from antimicrobial peptides found in spinach has received unconditional registration from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, clearing the way for...
Younger lung cancer patients more likely to harbor targetable mutations, study finds
Younger adults with non-small cell lung cancer are substantially more likely than older patients to carry genetic alterations that can be matched with existing targeted...
Sex Differences and Atherosclerosis-Linked CT Patterns in Abdominal Fat
For decades, body fat has been reduced to a handful of numbers: body mass index, waist circumference and total fat percentage. These measurements are useful,...
Neuromorphic tactile sensors and haptic displays deliver distributed touch feedback in telepresence
A new approach to telepresence is bringing remote touch closer to reality by combining neuromorphic tactile sensing with a finely distributed haptic display. The system,...
Human-Centered AI Strengthens X-Ray Analysis Through Holistic Self-Supervised Learning

Preterm infants on CPAP or high-flow support show comparable mesenteric blood-flow reduction
A study published in Pediatric Research reports that mesenteric blood flow—the circulation supplying the intestine—was similarly compromised in preterm neonates receiving either continuous positive airway...
Network meta-analysis compares local anesthetic techniques for pain relief during newborn circumcision
A new network meta-analysis is putting the pain of neonatal circumcision under an unusually precise scientific lens, comparing the local anesthetic techniques used to protect...
Regional reductions in high-energy phosphorus metabolites characterize cerebellar multiple system atrophy
A distinctive chemical signature in the brain may help explain why some patients with multiple system atrophy develop severe problems with balance, coordination and speech,...
