Medical Xpress / Engineered brain 'bypass' that rewires specific circuits could boost resilience to stress
Broken or disrupted circuits in the brain contribute to many neurological disorders. A new custom-built biological "wire" developed at Duke University School of Medicine points the way toward a new treatment approach—bypassing ...
Medical Xpress / Meeting an AI doctor before a real-life consultation can improve cancer patients' understanding and reduce stress
Cancer patients who interact with an artificial intelligence (AI) avatar doctor before they meet their real-life consultant feel more knowledgeable and less stressed, according to research presented at the Congress of the ...
Medical Xpress / Viagra could hold key to halting Peyronie's disease
Combining two widely prescribed drug classes could provide the first effective treatment for early-stage Peyronie's disease, according to a new study published in The Journal of Sexual Medicine.
Medical Xpress / Experimental drug shrinks advanced kidney tumors, clears cancer in one patient
A new Phase I clinical trial provides proof of concept for a potential therapy for treatment-resistant cancers, particularly kidney cancer. In the new study, published in Cell Reports Medicine, researchers tested a novel ...
Medical Xpress / Muscle mass is preserved after obesity drug treatment, study suggests
New research presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO2026) in Istanbul, Turkey (12–15 May) shows that following treatment with GLP-1 drugs for obesity, most weight loss is fat mass (80–85%) and relative muscle mass ...
Tech Xplore / Governments may shape what AI chatbots say by shaping the web they learn from
Ask an AI model the same political question in two different languages, and you may get two very different responses. A new study in Nature suggests one reason why: governments can indirectly influence large language models ...
Science X / Alarm bells fade: One pregnancy vaccine raised fears, but its earliest real-world test tells a different story
Questions about the safety of the RSVpreF vaccine, designed to protect infants from respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), for both mothers and babies during pregnancy have fueled considerable debate. One of the key concerns ...
