A study from the University of Chicago introduces an RNA-based liquid biopsy that detects early-stage colorectal cancer with 95% accuracy. The test overcomes the limitations of DNA-based methods.

University of Buffalo researchers conducted a systematic analysis of switch-like genes by analyzing genomes, transcriptomes and methylomes from 943 individuals and 27 different tissues.

AI-assisted mammogram reading helps radiologists focus on suspicious areas, increasing lesion detection without lengthening reading time.

A multinational study led by the University of Waterloo found that older adults diagnosed with dementia are living longer than in the early 2000s. Data from over 1.2 million people showed declining mortality in five of eight regions studied.

A study reveals that reducing the amino acid cysteine triggers fat browning and weight loss. Researchers found calorie restriction lowers cysteine in human fat tissue, while animal models showed dramatic fat loss when cysteine was depleted.

New research has shown how harmful RNA clusters form in neurological disorders, and how they can be prevented and disassembled.

The skeletal muscles of men and women process glucose and fats in different ways, potentially explaining why metabolic diseases manifest differently.

A new preclinical study from Monash University has uncovered the role of female sex hormone estrogen in protecting the hearts of women with high blood pressure.

A new study showed that high doses of steroids, when given before and/or during a specific type of immunotherapy, caused patients’ tumors to shrink less than those of patients not on steroids. Those patients also did not live as long.

Japanese researchers found that melanin can protect or worsen hereditary hearing loss depending on genetic context. In mice lacking the SLC26A4 gene, pigment buildup caused immune activation and inflammation in the inner ear.
