JMIR Publications, a leading independent fully open-access digital health research publisher, has renewed their Flat-Fee Unlimited Open Access Publishing Agreement with six UK partner universities through Jisc.

Americans’ confidence in their own healthcare providers remains high, according to a longitudinal, nationally representative survey conducted by the Annenberg Public Policy Center from April 2021 to August 2026. In contrast, confidence in the CDC, FDA, and the NIH as sources of trustworthy public health information has declined significantly since the beginning of President Donald J. Trump’s second term and Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s confirmation as Health and Human Services Secretary overseeing these agencies.

Researchers at UC San Diego have been awarded a DARPA contract to redesign red blood cells to temporarily boost human performance.

Proteins with exposed arginine can selectively accumulate even on protein-resistant coatings, as reported by researchers from Science Tokyo. Through an in-depth analysis of which and how proteins adhere to various anti-fouling surfaces, the team found arginine disrupts the protective water layer that normally blocks adsorption. Their results will help scientists develop safer and more effective biocompatible materials for medical devices, such as stents and advanced biosensors.

Immunotherapy for gynecological tumors is in a period of rapid development, bringing new hope to patients but also facing some new problems. How to achieve better clinical translation and improve treatment strategies based on current experimental research requires our joint efforts.

Controlling Mpox may require more than a single intervention. Researchers from Hasanuddin University developed a mathematical model to examine how vaccination, treatment, quarantine, and educational campaigns could be combined to mitigate Mpox transmission. The full-control strategy reduced simulated infections by 97.85% compared with no intervention and was the most cost-effective among the strategies tested. These findings also underscore the importance of considering animal reservoirs to support long-term management of Mpox.
