A new technology to more accurately trace neuron shapes from microscopy images is outlined in research released by E11 Bio, a nonprofit Focused Research Organization based in Alameda, Calif. The aim is to significantly reduce the cost of one day obtaining the first connectomic maps of whole mouse and human brains. The new work is in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, MIT, and Max Planck Institute, and is published on the bioRxiv preprint server.
A new caffeine craze is brewing on social media—no kettle required. Caffeine pouches promise a fast, discreet hit of energy without the fuss of brewing coffee or cracking open an energy drink. But while they may look like a harmless pick-me-up, experts warn they carry real risks, especially for teenagers and people with underlying health conditions.
Immune cells called double negative T cells are abundant in the intestine but have been poorly understood till date. In a recent study, researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo report that these cells actually have an indispensable role in suppressing intestinal inflammation. Through cutting-edge microscopy that allows live imaging, the movement and functioning of these cells were visualized for the first time, providing insights into conditions such as Crohn's disease.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is estimated to be experienced by roughly 1 in 127 people worldwide. It is characterized by atypical patterns in brain development, which manifest in differences in communication, social interactions, behavior and responses to sensory information.
An Ebola outbreak declared in the DR Congo in early September has caused 42 deaths out of 64 confirmed cases but the risk of it spreading in the region is moderate, the WHO said Wednesday.

A new study led by Distinguished Professor Luisa N. Borrell found significant inequities in body mass index (BMI) among adults in Spain, driven by age, sex, immigration status, and education.
Agiliti has invested more than $35 million to develop a next-generation hospital bed, one that fits the needs of all kinds of patients and the health care workers taking care of them.
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have developed a new low-cost blood test that could make it easier to detect Alzheimer's disease at an earlier stage—helping patients receive treatment and support sooner.
The Trump administration is continuing its push to revise federal guidelines to delay the hepatitis B vaccine newborn dose for most children. This comes despite a failed attempt to do so at the most recent meeting of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.
A new way to treat asthma symptoms and even repair previously irreversible lung damage could be on the horizon following the discovery of a potential new therapeutic target by scientists at the Universities of Aberdeen and Manchester.
The 2024 to 2025 influenza season had a high number of pediatric influenza-associated deaths, with a national rate of 3.8 deaths per 1 million children, according to research published in the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
A new study by investigators from Mass General Brigham shows that a non-drug, wearable device can help people with substance-use disorders (SUD) manage stress, reduce cravings, and lower their risk of relapse in real time. Their results are published in JAMA Psychiatry.
Researchers find different genetic profiles related to two trajectories that autistic children tend to follow. One is linked to early diagnosis and communication difficulties in infancy. The other is linked to later diagnosis, increased social and behavioral difficulties in adolescence, and higher rates of conditions like ADHD, depression, and PTSD.
Around 5,000 Americans are diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) each year. About half of patients die within 14 to 18 months of being diagnosed, usually due to breathing failure. The exact cause of ALS has long been unknown.
In a new JAMA Viewpoint, Lainie Friedman Ross, MD, Ph.D., chair of the Department of Health Humanities and Bioethics at the University of Rochester Medical Center, and Mark Navin, Ph.D., chair of Philosophy at Oakland University, argue that America's vaccine policy demands a new approach.
A diet rich in the amino acid cysteine may have rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study from MIT. This amino acid, the researchers discovered, can turn on an immune signaling pathway that helps stem cells to regrow new intestinal tissue.
Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are wearable technologies that track blood sugar in real time and help patients with type 2 diabetes improve blood sugar control. In 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved over-the-counter CGMs for individuals with and without diabetes, but there is limited understanding of how to interpret CGM metrics in individuals who do not have diabetes.
