This scoping review of 70 studies found that AI is used mainly to detect and measure health-related stigma, rather than to reduce it. Evidence that AI can reduce stigma remains…

Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps - transcription, when messenger RNA (mRNA) makes copies of active genes, and translation,…

A research team led by the University of Waterloo has created a new monitoring system to save lives and significantly reduce health-care costs in brain-injury cases through the early detection…

Newborn meningitis is one of the most dangerous childhood infections. It is often life-threatening and can cause serious and lasting damage, including developmental problems, in the children who survive.

The humble Y chromosome may be the smallest chromosome in the mammalian genome (and getting even smaller), but it is mighty: genes on the Y chromosome are critical for fertility…

Could the way doctors traditionally measure obesity allow a subset of people with obesity-related health risks slip through the cracks?

A new PET tracer targeting carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) has demonstrated exceptional sensitivity and high tumor-to-background contrast in detecting clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), according to early clinical research.

A novel PET imaging framework reveals that bariatric surgery impacts not only body weight, but also the metabolic function of multiple organs.

Population-based pathogenic variant testing identified breast cancer susceptibility gene carriers who would often be missed by clinical risk models, even when polygenic risk scores were added. In the WISDOM Study…

PromptSE uses structured LLM prompting to generate pharmacologically relevant side-effect representations, then feeds them into deep learning models to predict drug-side effect associations. In benchmark testing, PromptSE improved prediction performance,…
