Osaka Metropolitan University researchers analyzed all proteins and RNA in eight major tissues of young and old mice to construct a database that covers genes that change with age.

Researchers have identified a skin tone bias in photoacoustic imaging methods used for breast cancer diagnosis. A recent study published in Biophotonics Discovery compared three reconstruction techniques—FFT, DAS, and SLSC—across various skin tones and wavelengths. While traditional methods struggled with target visibility under darker skin tones, particularly at 757 and 800 nm wavelengths, a technique combining the 1064-nm wavelength combined with SLSC beamforming significantly improves image clarity across all skin tones, offering a promising advancement for equitable breast cancer detection.

The Medical University of South Carolina has been awarded $1.75 million from the Health Resources and Services Administration to test whether telehealth can be used to deliver psychiatric collaborative care management sustainably at primary care clinics in seven diverse, rural, underserved South Carolina counties. The MUSC Center for Telehealth is partnering with primary care sites in MUSC Health’s Regional Health Network and Beaufort Jasper Hampton Comprehensive Health Services, a federally qualified health center.
