Researchers at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University developed two AI models – MMgSN-Net and PGMGVCE – to create virtual contrast-enhanced MRI scans for nasopharyngeal carcinoma using non-contrast images.

Researchers have identified a genetic biomarker that predicts whether multiple sclerosis (MS) patients will respond particularly well to treatment with glatiramer acetate. The results come from a multicentre analysis of more than 3,000 MS patients.

Scientists have developed a new diagnostic test that uses just a single drop of blood, costs a couple of dollars and delivers results in only 15 minutes.

Cornell researchers developed machine-learning models that can sift through cell-free RNA and identify key biomarkers for chronic fatigue syndrome.

UC Irvine researchers found that women with Down syndrome have more advanced Alzheimer’s pathology than men at the same age of diagnosis. Postmortem brain analysis revealed higher beta amyloid and tau protein levels.

Researchers have shown that patients with vocal fold lesions and laryngeal cancer can be distinguished through acoustic features of the voice. AI systems could use this to help triage patients at risk for laryngeal cancer based on their voice.

Researchers have developed an implant that can treat Type 1 diabetes by oxygenating densely packed insulin-secreting cells without the need for immunosuppression.

A research perspective links structured exercise and high fitness levels to slower epigenetic aging, measured via DNA methylation changes. Evidence from human and animal studies suggests aerobic and strength training can reduce biological age markers

Researchers surveyed 58 directors of hospital-based addiction consult services (ACS) and found that most ACS recognized the prevalence of high-potency synthetic opioids and agreed they have changed how they approach medication initiation.

A Simon Fraser University study links early brain wiring to attention skills in children aged 4–7, a key factor in ADHD. Using MRI and graph theory, researchers found better focus and flexibility in kids with well-organized brain networks.
