Research Reveals How High Blood Sugar May Shield Cancer Cells from Immune Detection

New research reveals a potential mechanism that cancer cells use to evade the body's immune defenses. According to findings published in Science Daily, cancer cells build a thick, sugar-rich coating around themselves that acts as a protective barrier. The study found that elevated blood sugar levels can strengthen

AI Model Identifies Major Depression From Routine Blood Tests, Study Shows

A recent study published in Nature demonstrates that artificial intelligence can help screen for major depressive disorder (MDD) using routine laboratory test results. The research, conducted across multiple centers, developed a machine learning model that analyzes common blood test data and other standard clinical laboratory measurements to detect patterns associated

Rhode Island Enacts First-in-Nation AI Scribe Disclosure Law for Healthcare

Rhode Island has enacted legislation making it the first state in the nation to require healthcare providers to disclose when they use artificial intelligence scribes during patient visits and to offer patients a clear opt-out process. AI scribes are increasingly used in clinical settings to automatically document conversations between physicians

AI System Detects Heart Disease in Under Two Seconds, Study Shows

A new artificial intelligence system demonstrated the ability to detect heart disease in less than two seconds during testing, according to research findings. The AI tool, described as achieving "superhuman" accuracy in early reports, processes cardiac imaging data and delivers diagnostic assessments at speeds far exceeding traditional methods.

Study Finds Common Zero-Calorie Sweeteners May Affect Gut Health Across Generations

A new study in mice suggests that common zero-calorie sweeteners may have effects that extend well beyond their sweet taste. Researchers examined how sucralose and stevia influenced the gut microbiome and related metabolic processes. The study found that both sweeteners altered the composition of gut bacteria in treated mice. Additionally,

Scientists Identify Why Damaged Livers Struggle to Heal Even After Quitting Alcohol

The Healing Roadblock When someone with alcohol-related liver disease stops drinking, they might expect their liver to begin recovering. However, a new study reveals why this organ often fails to bounce back. Inflammation-Driven RNA Errors Researchers have found that alcohol-induced inflammation causes errors in RNA processing within liver cells. These

mRNA Melanoma Vaccine Shows Clinical Promise, Reinforcing Broader Platform Potential

Personalized mRNA Vaccines Move Closer to Oncology Practice A pivotal Phase III trial has shown that a personalized messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine — developed using the same core technology behind some COVID-19 vaccines — can meaningfully cut the risk of melanoma recurrence or death in patients with high-risk stage III/IV disease.
