Study reveals hidden brain circuit behind flexible visual thinking8:43 Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana is challenging a story neuroscience has told for decades. According to the conventional account, our eyes collect raw information and relay it through a series of nerves and waystations that lead deep into the brain, eventually reaching the cortex. Targeted therapy doubles progression-free survival in rare bile duct cancer8:10 Results of the ongoing eNRGy trial, a single-arm, multicenter, global phase 2 clinical trial evaluating zenocutuzumab in solid tumors positive for Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) gene fusions, reported manageable side effects and clinically meaningful efficacy – including a near doubling of progression-free survival compared to expectations with standard of care – in previously treated patients with advanced NRG1-positive cholangiocarcinoma. Simple donor message could expand stem cell transplant options7:37 When a patient needs a stem cell transplant, finding a registered donor is only the first step. Some potential donors drop out before confirmatory typing, reducing the pool from which doctors can choose. Community-based programs show greater promise for dementia prevention efforts7:37 Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented by tackling modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, low education or social isolation, but new Curtin University research suggests current public health approaches are falling short of driving real behaviour change. Decades of research reveal surprising secrets about hantavirus evolution7:04 Thirty years ago, it was our common sense understanding that hantavirus does not and perhaps cannot spread from human to human. It turns out there is one exception: a strain called the Andes virus. Evolutionary noncoding RNAs reveal new targets for cancer therapy6:00 In cancer research, one person's junk is increasingly becoming another person's treasure. Scientists have now uncovered new evidence showing how recently evolved "junk DNA" genetic elements can become integrated into ancient cellular pathways that regulate cancer. ACMG issues guidance for reporting uncertain genetic test variants5:59 The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) has published a new statement, Points to Consider for the Reporting of Variants of Uncertain Significance in Germline Genetic and Genomic Testing, providing guidance to laboratories and healthcare professionals on the reporting and communication of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) identified through genetic and genomic testing. KFF poll finds vaccine myths reach many Americans but convince few5:27 KFF’s 2026 tracking poll found that many U.S. adults have heard common vaccine myths, including false claims about MMR, COVID-19, mRNA vaccines, and measles vaccines. Fewer adults strongly believe these myths, but a large, uncertain “malleable middle” remains, especially among those without a trusted health care provider, frequent social media users, some AI health-information users, and parents … Wearable devices reveal changing sleep patterns throughout college years5:27 Sleep is a fundamental aspect of human health that plays a crucial role in cognitive function, academic performance, and social interactions. Compulsive smartphone use linked to higher depression risk in older adults5:27 Compulsive smartphone habits in older adults can be linked to a higher risk of depression, according to a study led by a Rutgers researcher. |
