Discovery of Gpr45 gene activity in brain cilia sheds light on genetic roots of overeating

FA new injection to prevent HIV is expected to be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) later this month.

A multi-institutional study led by the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai reports one-third of patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma remained in remission for at least five years following a single infusion of the CAR-T cell therapy cilta-cel.

Women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, and those from the most deprived communities are less likely to receive treatment after a diagnosis of the heart valve disease aortic stenosis, according to research presented Tuesday at the British Cardiovascular Society conference in Manchester.

The U.S. logged 122 more cases of measles this week—but only four of them in Texas—while the outbreaks in Pennsylvania and Michigan have officially ended.

A new Penn Nursing Center for Health Outcomes & Policy Research (CHOPR) study sheds light on the critical factors that help or hinder hospital nurses in providing quality care to socially disadvantaged populations. The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, offer vital insights to inform hospital strategies for advancing high-quality, equitable care.

A groundbreaking study led by National Jewish Health researchers suggests that the skin may serve as a potential biomarker for a chronic allergic disease of the esophagus called eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) in children. The results provide physicians a potential new, noninvasive avenue to diagnose EoE by using skin tape.

Researchers from the Institute of Computing Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, along with collaborators, have developed a food-oriented large language model (LLM)—FoodSky. The study is published in Patterns.

There is a nationwide shortage of pediatric specialists, delaying care for many patients. In some cases, children wait weeks or even months for appointments. But now, in a study published in the journal Clinical Pediatrics, researchers at UC Davis Health show that e-consults—in which primary care pediatricians have direct access to specialists—improve care for young patients.

In the quest to design vaccines that better help the body's immune system fight disease, scientists are always looking for more tools for their arsenal.

A new study published in JAMA Psychiatry makes the case that symptom provocation may significantly improve the clinical effectiveness of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a noninvasive brain stimulation method used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and nicotine dependence.

A study analyzed the brain activity of military officer cadets and civilians while they were making moral decisions and concluded that the perception of being the author of our actions and their consequences decreases when we follow orders, whether we are civilians or military.

06 June 2025 Q: Is there an increase in COVID-19 cases and deaths in the Eastern Mediterranean Region currently? COVID-19 cases are increasing all over the world, including in the Eastern Mediterranea

Brain tumors remain among the most challenging conditions in modern medicine. Due to their complexity and location, many of them are difficult to access, even with the most advanced surgical and therapeutic approaches. Although significant progress has been made in radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and surgical techniques, certain tumors—especially those near critical brain structures—still present considerable risks.

Imagine treating chronic illness not with pills, but with soft, flexible electronic implants seamlessly integrated into the body. The materials for such implants already exist—they just needed a sweet touch.

The MRI shows a brain tumor in an inauspicious location, and a brain biopsy will entail high risks for a patient who had consulted doctors due to double vision. Situations such as this case prompted researchers at Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin to look for new diagnostic procedures. The result is an AI model.

An interdisciplinary research team from the Allergology and Veterinary Medicine Divisions at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut (PEI) has developed a novel laboratory test that enables the determination of adjuvanted allergoids in finished medicinal products. Content analyses of finished medicinal products were not possible in the past due to the complex structure of this medicinal product group, which contains both adjuvants and allergoids (chemically modified allergens) and therefore had to be performed on an intermediary production step.

In much the same way people can "chat" with large language models like GPT-4, Stanford Health Care clinicians can now interact with a patient's medical records through an AI-backed software called ChatEHR.

A study led by Northeastern University professor Jonathan Peelle with researchers from across the globe has confirmed that people's ability to detect background sounds varies from person to person, and is influenced by the noise that came before the sounds.
