Researchers Identify New Therapeutic Target for Aggressive Small Cell Cancers

Discovery Offers New Hope for Treatment-Resistant Cancers Researchers at UCLA have identified a hidden vulnerability in aggressive small cell cancers that could lead to more effective treatments. The study, published in Science Daily, found that tumors missing the RB gene become critically dependent on a protein called E2F3 for their

AI Sleep Monitoring Reaches New Accuracy Without Brain Sensors

The Challenge with Traditional Sleep Monitoring Conventional sleep studies, known as polysomnography, typically require participants to wear electrodes attached to their scalp to measure brain activity via electroencephalography (EEG). While effective, this setup can be uncomfortable and may itself disrupt natural sleep patterns, potentially affecting the accuracy of the results.
