Medical Xpress / Why most foods don't trigger allergies: Three common seed proteins may train gut immune tolerance
In little moments like when sipping coffee or licking an ice cream cone, it doesn't seem like your body is pulling off a biological miracle. But it is. That cookie is not you—yet when you put it in your mouth, your body ...
Tech Xplore / Robots that refuse to fail: AI evolves 'legged metamachines' that reassemble and withstand injury
Northwestern University engineers have developed the first modular robots with athletic intelligence. They can be combined and recombined in the wild, recover from injury and keep moving no matter what's thrown at them.
Medical Xpress / Using digital cognitive assessments for dementia diagnosis: Are primary care providers ready?
A Gerontological Society of America (GSA) report summarizes survey findings on the readiness of the primary care workforce to adopt digital cognitive assessments (DCAs) for use in the diagnostic process for cognitive impairment ...
Phys.org / Many scientists now use AI but fail to disclose it, study finds
When scientists employ generative AI tools like ChatGPT to help with tasks such as editing and translation for their academic writing, many journals now ask them to disclose this assistance. The rules are intended to maintain ...
Medical Xpress / Three distinct ADHD biotypes identified using a novel brain-first, data-driven approach
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder or ADHD translates in different ways across the population, unlike the overgeneralized version presented on social media. A recent study further solidified this idea by identifying ...
Medical Xpress / Cheek cells may provide clues to schizophrenia risk
A simple cheek swab could one day provide a quick and noninvasive diagnostic test for schizophrenia. A new study published in Science Advances has identified higher levels of two biological markers in the cheek swabs of patients ...
