Medical Xpress / Diet remodels chromatin structure and extends survival in models of glioma
An unexpected lab observation has led a team of scientists to discover how diet can influence survival in animal models of glioma, one of the most aggressive and deadly forms of brain cancer. Researchers at Baylor College ...
Medical Xpress / Augmented reality system could make medical ultrasounds easier to interpret
Interpreting medical ultrasound images is a difficult task, requiring a technician to look at 2D images and mentally arrange them into a 3D representation of what the tissue looks like. To make that job easier, MIT researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Brain aneurysm map reveals cell types tied to rupture risk
A new study from UC San Francisco shows how certain cells in the brain may cause aneurysms to weaken and rupture. It helps explain why some aneurysms burst while others do not and could lead to new ways of predicting and ...
Medical Xpress / Brain tumor map finds immune cell states that may predict meningioma recurrence
One of the most detailed maps to date of meningioma—the most common brain tumor in adults—reveals how the tumor's surrounding environment helps drive disease behavior and patient outcomes, according to new research from Mayo ...
Medical Xpress / Oral therapy enables at-home treatment for acute myeloid leukemia
For years, treatment of older patients with acute myeloid leukemia—an aggressive cancer of the blood and bone marrow—has required injections administered in a clinic for five to seven consecutive days each month, in addition ...
Medical Xpress / Suicide prevention overlooks products still widely sold and promoted, analysis warns
Governments put up railings and barriers and regulate supplies of certain drugs to prevent people from dying by suicide. But other products associated with fatal self-harm, such as firearms, pesticides and alcohol, remain ...
Medical Xpress / Ultrasensitive blood test predicts head and neck cancer relapse months earlier
A new study by investigators from Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute has found that an ultrasensitive blood test called HPV-DeepSeek could help identify which people with HPV-associated head and neck cancer still had cancer ...
Medical Xpress / Why the liquid you take with your medication matters
Some alkaline mineral and medicinal waters may weaken the enteric coating of medications within just a few minutes, potentially reducing their effectiveness, according to a new study by Semmelweis University. The study, published ...
Medical Xpress / Bilingual brains keep concepts aligned across languages, individual neuron data suggest
Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have uncovered a fundamental principle underlying how the human brain processes meaning across multiple languages. In a new study posted to the bioRxiv preprint server, scientists ...
Medical Xpress / Uncertainty-aware AI and lensfree holography enable reliable automated HER2 assessment for breast cancer diagnostics
The integration of AI into digital pathology has the potential to transform cancer diagnostics by enabling scalable, quantitative analysis of tissue specimens. However, widespread deployment of AI-assisted pathology remains ...
Medical Xpress / Pangenome graph unlocks 20 near-complete variant groups in Japanese genomes
The race to complete the human pangenome—which comprises all genetic information across the human species—has been underway since 2022, when the first complete reference human genome sequence was released by the international ...
Medical Xpress / Can virtual reality train surgeons? A 2,000-year-old experiment reveals what's missing
As medical schools increasingly turn to virtual reality, 3D models and digital simulations, a new correspondence in Nature Medicine argues that one essential part of clinical training remains difficult to digitize: the hands-on ...
