Apple Watch app detects seizures with 98% accuracy
The EpiWatch app shows high sensitivity in detecting tonic-clonic seizures in children and adults, potentially reducing SUDEP risk with timely alerts.
Health workers face hidden exposure to cancer-linked hazards
A study reveals high exposure to cancer risk factors among health and social care workers in Europe, underscoring the need for enhanced protective measures.
Lower Alzheimer’s amyloid levels in Black and Latinx adults
Findings show lower amyloid PET positivity in Black and Latinx adults with cognitive impairment, highlighting disparities in dementia diagnosis and treatment.
Justicia carnea extract alleviates oxidative stress in pancreatitis
Chronic pancreatitis is an inflammatory disease and is difficult to manage despite advancements in medical science.
Hypoxia-gated AAV enables targeted treatment for advanced NSCLC
Adeno‑associated virus (AAV) vectors offer safety and durable expression but lack tumor specificity. This hypothesis proposes an NSCLC‑directed, hypoxia‑responsive AAV platform that integrates MGS4 peptide‑guided capsid targeting with dual hypoxia‑responsive element (HRE)‑gated promoters driving Q‑CXCL9‑Fc (chemokine) and miR‑30‑based shRNA against mesothelin (MSLN).
Mesenchymal drift may explain how aging cells lose their identity
Mesenchymal drift may help explain how cells lose stable identity and acquire pro-fibrotic, inflammatory mesenchymal traits during aging. The review proposes MD as a unifying framework that links multiple hallmarks of aging and highlights partial reprogramming as a potential, but still preclinical, way to counteract this process.
New T-cell engager therapy shows effectiveness in advanced solid tumors
A team led by researchers from the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT/UCC) Dresden at the Carl Gustav Carus University Hospital (UKD) and the Carl Gustav Carus Faculty of Medicine at the TUD Dresden University of Technology will present clinical results for the first time on May 31, 2026, at this year’s annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) regarding a new cancer immunotherapy for the treatment of advanced tumors.
The right seafood choices can help diets meet health and climate goals
Fish can support healthy and sustainable diets, especially when it replaces red and processed meat rather than adding to overall animal-food intake. However, its environmental value depends on species, production system, supply chain, local dietary patterns, and the scale of greenhouse gas reductions required.
Higher-dose ocrelizumab depletes more B cells but does not slow MS progression
Higher-dose ocrelizumab produced greater peripheral B-cell depletion than the approved 600 mg regimen in two phase 3b trials of relapsing and primary progressive multiple sclerosis. However, the higher doses did not significantly delay disability progression, supporting the 600 mg dose as the current standard regimen with a favorable benefit-risk profile.
Why new Alzheimer’s drugs are dividing regulators worldwide
The Lancet World Report examines why regulators in the US, UK, and Europe have reached different decisions on new amyloid-targeting Alzheimer’s drugs despite evidence that they can modestly slow clinical decline. It highlights the unresolved balance among benefits, safety risks, costs, access, and the need for broader, earlier, and more patient-centered treatment strategies.
Fruit fly study links dopamine to stress-induced sexual dysfunction
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have revealed key parts of the biochemical pathways connecting stress to sexual dysfunction.
Implanted collagen tiles double survival for brain metastasis patients
A multicenter clinical trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has found that implanting collagen tiles during brain surgery to deliver targeted radiation therapy dramatically improved tumor control, lowered the risk of recurrence and improved overall survival compared to current standard of care for patients with newly diagnosed brain metastases in need of surgical resection.
Violence exposure linked to increased tobacco use among teens
One way to lower smoking rates among teens may be to address their exposure to violence, as an analysis from public health researchers at Brown University shows that the two are strongly linked.
Researchers uncover new clues about the origin of Alzheimer's tau tangles
Researchers at Columbia University have uncovered new clues about the earliest molecular events that may trigger Alzheimer's disease, shedding light on how toxic tau filaments begin to form in the brain.
Gene test helps many breast cancer patients avoid chemotherapy
Many people with breast cancer can safely avoid chemotherapy with the use of a gene test, potentially sparing them unnecessary side effects without increasing the risk of the cancer returning, a large international clinical trial led by UCL has found.
Tick protein discovery could help prevent disease transmission
Few creatures inspire as much universal dislike as ticks. Though small, these parasites have an enormous impact on human and animal health. Each year, ticks spread viruses and bacteria that infect people, livestock, wildlife and pets around the world.
Thyroid function linked to chronotype or daytime sleepiness in women with Hashimoto's thyroiditis
Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), an autoimmune disease with a prevalence 2–7 times higher in women than in men, is associated with daytime sleepiness.
Grant supports evaluation of interventions for intimate partner violence
Casey Taft, PhD, professor of psychiatry at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine, has been awarded a $298,139 grant from Arnold Ventures to fund his 4-year project, "Evaluating Interventions for Intimate Partner Violence Use in Washington State."
Free contraception program sharply reduces patient spending in British Columbia
Researchers at UBC found that B.C.'s decision to provide universal, no-cost prescription contraception sharply reduced what patients pay, with the largest financial gains for people in their 20s.
Gladstone scientists track exact routes used to clear brain waste
Think of the brain as if it were a house. Insulated from its environment, a house relies on complex networks-pipes, drains, and disposal systems-that interface with the outside world to keep the home functional on the inside.
