When food prices skyrocket during an economic crisis, it is primarily urban populations and people with low levels of education who are affected. This can have lifelong negative health consequences—such as stunted growth in children.

In many regions, doctors practice in settings with limited medical resources. Advanced tests, specialist support, and expert guidance for complex decisions are often unavailable. Under these circumstances, accurate automated systems, especially AI, can help close the gap between limited resources and clinical needs.

Neoantigens are unique markers that distinguish only cancer cells. By adding B cell reactivity, cancer vaccines can move beyond one-time attacks and short-term memory to become a long-term immunity that "remembers" cancer, effectively preventing recurrence. KAIST's research team has developed an AI-based personalized cancer vaccine design technology that makes this possible and optimizes anticancer effects for each individual.

A new University of Toronto-led study has discovered a possible biomarker linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) disease progression that could help identify patients most likely to benefit from new drugs.

Every summer in Australia, millions of people head to the beach, and every year, thousands are rescued by lifeguards or Surf Life Savers and even surfers or other bystanders. Tragically, many people lose their lives on our coasts.

Oregon Medical Research Center in Portland, Oregon, has led a phase 2 trial in moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis that paired higher-than-approved doses of risankizumab with extended follow-up and found high early skin clearance alongside reduced lesional tissue-resident memory T cells at Week 52.

A new rapid test for hepatitis C could help identify many more patients who could be cured of the deadly disease, but its use may be limited unless insurers' reimbursement rises to cover its high cost, according to researchers from the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain's support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain's rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in schizophrenia, epilepsy and other neurological conditions.

In laboratory models, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that a mother's circadian rhythms, or internal body clock, can influence the immune system states of her offspring, which can accurately predict the risk of bacterial infection.

I knew there would be an argument. The room had gone eerily quiet. "Isn't it about time," my partner began, "that we freshened this place up a little?"
