AI tools predict seizure outcomes in mouse models by recognizing fine motor differences

An acupuncturist explains how this scary-looking acupressure mat can help relieve back pain.View Entire Post ›

An ISU research team has presented findings from the Running on Empty Study at the National Association of Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA) Conference in Denver, CO.

Whether it's a dull, underlying ache in your spine or a piercing stab, chronic back pain affects roughly one in four Americans. UC San Francisco's Prasad Shirvalkar, MD, Ph.D., neurologist and pain medicine specialist, studies the multitude of nerve-to-brain connections that could impact how we treat debilitating back pain.

Do you ever get that peculiar feeling that what you're doing or seeing has already happened, even when you're pretty sure it hasn't?

International experts insisted Friday that a healthy diet should keep meat to a minimum, doubling down on previous conclusions the food industry had fiercely dismissed.

US regulators have approved an additional generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, a normally routine move that nevertheless angered anti-abortion activists.

Not all moisturizers are equal when it comes to scar management, according to new research by University of Adelaide experts and researchers at the Royal Adelaide Hospital.

An infant born prematurely in the western Canadian province of Alberta died as a result of measles, officials said Thursday, the first fatality linked to the disease's resurgence in the country in the past year.

Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication with serious risks for mother and child. The only real cure for preeclampsia is delivery. Now, a new mouse study reports that high levels of an mRNA splicing factor may contribute to the condition.

Scientists at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) and Albert Einstein College of Medicine have shown for the first time that glioblastoma—the deadliest form of brain cancer—affects not just the brain but also erodes the skull, alters the makeup of skull marrow, and interferes with the body's immune response. Drugs intended to inhibit skull-bone loss made the cancer more aggressive, according to results published in Nature Neuroscience. The paper is titled "Brain Tumors Induce Widespread Disruption of Calvarial Bone and Alteration of Skull Marrow Immune Landscape."

A research team at Lund University in Sweden has discovered a mechanism that helps acute myeloid leukemia cells to evade the body's immune system. By developing an antibody that blocks the mechanism, the researchers could restore the immune system's ability to kill the cancer cells in laboratory trials and in mice. The discovery is published in Nature Cancer.

In the realm of memories, "where" holds special importance. Where did I leave my keys? Where did I eat dinner last night? Where did I first meet that friend? Recalling locations is necessary for daily life, yet spatial memory—which keeps track of "where"—is one of the first cognitive abilities to fade in old age. And deficits earlier in life can be a telltale sign of dementia.

The first successful human transplant of a kidney converted from blood type A to universal type O used special enzymes developed at the University of British Columbia to help prevent a mismatch and rejection of the organ.

Researchers at McMaster University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made two scientific breakthroughs at once: they not only discovered a brand-new antibiotic that targets inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), but also successfully used a new type of AI to predict exactly how the drug works. To their knowledge, this is a global first for the AI.

Pertussis, or whooping cough, is on the rise and incidence now exceeds pre-pandemic numbers. While in adults and older children the cough can be bothersome and last for months, pertussis in young infants can be life-threatening. Most children under 2 months of age with pertussis in the United States are hospitalized.

Early medical abortion at home up to 12 weeks of pregnancy is safe, effective, and comparable to hospital care, finds a five-year review of cases in Scotland, where this timeframe is legally permitted. The review was published online in the journal BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health.

Countries with the highest reported levels of hearing loss also have the lowest reported use of hearing aids, finds international research published in the open access journal BMJ Global Health.

Food systems are key drivers of the world's most urgent challenges, from chronic diseases and rising inequality to accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss, according to the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission on Healthy, Sustainable, and Just Food Systems.
