Gene therapies are used to treat many different blood disorders. However, blood stem cells often fail to achieve their full potential after transplantation. UZH researchers have now explored an alternative signaling pathway that could provide a remedy.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Arlington are developing AI-powered computational tools that can identify and characterize the biological “control switches” that help keep eyes healthy and reveal what causes eye disease.

A new study by Nottingham Trent University (NTU) and Integrated System Technologies Ltd has developed a low-cost, privacy-preserving home monitoring system that could help older people live independently for longer. The technology combines millimetre-wave radar, thermal sensors and smart plugs, using artificial intelligence to build a picture of a person's daily routines and identify potential health emergencies such as falls, strokes and heart attacks, without relying on cameras or wearable devices.

The researchers found that integrating data from all three technologies provided the most accurate monitoring of movement, posture and everyday activities. By learning an individual's normal behaviour patterns, the system can detect sudden emergencies as well as gradual declines in mobility or wellbeing, alerting carers or family members when intervention may be needed. The team believes the technology could form part of future assisted-living homes, enabling older adults to remain safely in their own homes while protecting their privacy.

More than half of LGBTQ+ adults in Massachusetts experienced food insecurity in 2024, according to a new study published in JAMA Network Open. Researchers also found that food insecurity increased from 2022 to 2024 and remained significantly more common among LGBTQ+ adults than among non-LGBTQ+ adults.

LMU researchers challenge a decades-old model: genetically modified embryos lacking interferon tau can establish pregnancies and develop into healthy calves.
