For decades, pulse oximeters have been among medicine's most familiar instruments. Clip one onto a finger, and within seconds it reports how much oxygen is in your blood, a vital indicator of health.

Earlier use of a targeted radionuclide therapy delays metastatic prostate cancer progression when administered as part of a trio of drugs, according to a Phase III clinical trial led by Weill Cornell Medicine, NewYork-Presbyterian, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and inves

Each morning during rounds as a resident at University of Rochester Medicine, Marika Toscano noticed the same troubling pattern.

A protein that can dial down oxidative stress in cells helps some cancers resist treatment with a widely used class of drugs called BTK inhibitors, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine. The discovery points to a possible solution to the problem of B

Hair products used in hair salons release aerosols that can cause respiratory tract irritation if inhaled. Under a contract from industry, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine ITEM investigated the effects of aerosols produced when usin

A protein secreted by common cancer types makes blood vessels leakier to allow metastatic tumors to form in the lungs, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The discovery could lead to new ways of monitorin

A human kidney is built once, before birth, and the rules guiding its construction have been largely inferred from animal models. Researchers at Penn Medicine have now read those rules directly in human tissue. They found that developing cells are steered by soluble signals relea

Flinders University researchers have evaluated two next-generation reasoning large language models (LLMs)—o3-mini and DeepSeek-R1—and found that when asked to describe fictional patients with common medical conditions, the models frequently reproduced racial and gender stereotype

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, painful joint disease and a leading cause of disability. Despite its prevalence, therapies for osteoarthritis are limited and focus on symptom management. Now, researchers are combining genetic studies of Utah families with AI-based molecular bio

A disease surveillance strategy modeled on the body's immune system detected more disease-carrying insects than the traditional top-down approach, according to a study led by researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and the Universidad Pe

A study published in Nature Cell Biology reports a new vulnerability in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that might lead to novel therapies to treat the cancer while minimizing harm to normal cells. Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions studied a ne

Modern medicine has become increasingly focused on preventing disease and extending healthy life, but a new paper claims that the next major leap in health care will require something more fundamental: ensuring that both medical care and scientific knowledge are accessible to eve
