An innovative new study from researchers at the Center for Healthy Brain Aging (CHeBA), UNSW Sydney, reveals that something as simple as a mouse’s dinner could be distorting critical preclinical imaging results.
In an exciting breakthrough, researchers have identified cancer drugs that might reverse the effects of Alzheimer’s disease in the brain. By analyzing gene expression in brain cells, they discovered that some FDA-approved cancer medications could rever…
Nature is often the best model for science. For nearly a century, scientists have been trying to recreate the ability of some mammals and birds to survive extreme environmental conditions for brief or extended periods by going into torpor, when their b…
A new study in the journal Machine Learning: Health discovers that ChatGPT can accelerate patient screening for clinical trials, showing promise in reducing delays and improving trial success rates.
Patient-centricity is often seen as a matter of ethics, something that “should” be done on principle. A white paper demonstrates that patient-centricity is not just an ethical imperative, but strategically essential for digital health solutions to buil…

Potent statins are the best-proven weapon against heart disease, especially when paired with lifestyle changes. Most people aren’t active enough—and many are underdiagnosed—so starting treatment strong is key.
A newly mapped neural circuit shows how our skin senses cool temperatures and sends that info to the brain, revealing an unexpected amplifier in the spinal cord and offering insight into cold-related pain.
