Researchers at UCLA have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can use electronic health records to identify patients with undiagnosed Alzheimer’s disease, addressing a critical gap in Alzheimer’s care: significant underdiagnosis, particularly among underrepresented communities.
Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the ‘dark genome’ that are responsible for controlling how cells sense and respond to the mechanical properties of their local environment.
Understanding how these DNA sequences affect cellular identity and function could give researchers new therapeutic targets for illnesses that involve changes to mechanical properties of tissues, including fibrosis, cancer and stroke.
UMD mathematicians identified vaccination strategies that could completely eliminate HPV-related cancers.
The American College of Cardiology is launching an early cardiovascular disease prevention education program to honor the contributions of Valentin Fuster, MD, PhD, MACC, and his lifelong commitment to establishing a culture of prevention in children. The Fuster Prevention Forum is an in-person educational course that will teach clinicians effective ways to educate children, parents and educators in their communities on nutrition, physical activity and emotional well-being.
Canadian researchers want to clarify the concepts related to safe opioid supply to better assess their impact and guide public-health policies.
