Medical Xpress / 3D-printed brain models could improve medical research and training
University of Missouri researchers are developing new ways to better simulate the complex nature of human brain tissue. For years, scientists have worked to uncover how the brain responds to mechanical forces and electromagnetic ...
Tech Xplore / Anthropic's 'anonymous' interviews cracked with an LLM
In December, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic unveiled its newest tool, Interviewer, used in its initial implementation "to help understand people's perspectives on AI," according to a press release. As part ...
Medical Xpress / Discovery of unique brain tumor subtypes offers hope for targeted glioma therapies
Researchers have uncovered the mechanisms behind three unique subtypes of mismatch repair deficient high-grade gliomas. The findings provide a clearer understanding of how these tumors develop, explain why patients respond ...
Medical Xpress / How universal, free prescription drug coverage affects older adults' finances and behaviors
In 2016, Poland introduced a nationwide policy eliminating all out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs prescribed by health care professionals to individuals aged 75 and older. A study published in Health Economics finds ...
Medical Xpress / Harnessing antiviral memory to fight tumors: Redirected antibodies show promise
Because many different types of cancer cells overexpress programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1), this cell surface protein is a major target of cancer immunotherapy. Unfortunately, drugs that target it do not trigger especially ...
Medical Xpress / How certain factors affect life expectancy in people with spina bifida
Studies have reported on survival probabilities of people born with open spina bifida, a condition where the spinal cord and nerves are exposed through an opening in the back. Research published in Developmental Medicine ...
Phys.org / Trace gases play previously unseen role in cloud droplet formation, research reveals
Tiny, invisible gases long thought to be irrelevant in cloud formation may actually play a major role in determining whether clouds form—and possibly whether it rains.
Medical Xpress / 'Stiff' cells provide new explanation for differing symptoms in sickle cell patients
A new breakthrough study led by researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities could explain why patients with the same genetic sickle cell mutation experience different levels of pain, organ damage, and response ...
Medical Xpress / New study finds near-universal fentanyl exposure with xylazine in some—but not all—US cities
In the national conversation about overdose, fentanyl is often framed as a single, wide-reaching crisis, but new evidence from five major U.S. cities suggests a more fragmented, complex reality. In an article published in ...
Phys.org / Researchers rebuild microscopic circadian clock that can control genes
Our circadian clocks play a crucial role in our health and well-being, keeping our 24-hour biological cycles in sync with light and dark exposure. Disruptions in the rhythms of these clocks, as with jet lag and daylight saving ...
Phys.org / Nature is a powerful ally against fires and floods: So how can it be saved?
More than a year after the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, the economic aftershocks of the disaster still permeate the lives of the people who survived it. Fewer than a dozen homes in some of the city's hardest-hit neighborhoods ...
Medical Xpress / Tiny one- to three-base RNAs could help stop autoimmune inflammation, study suggests
RNA-based medicine is about to take a huge leap forward thanks to the discovery of extremely short RNA fragments with important anti-inflammatory properties. Professor Michael Gantier's latest research, published in Nature ...
