Researchers from Rutgers Health and RWJBarnabas Health have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) technology that transforms basic electrocardiogram (ECG) readings of electrical activity into sophisticated heart motion signals normally obtained via echocardiogram, potentially improving how heart disease is detected and monitored.

A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has identified a previously unknown enzyme, SIRT2, that plays a key role in memory loss associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The study, led by Director C Justin Lee, of the IBS Center for Cognition and Sociality, provides critical insights into how astrocytes contribute to cognitive decline by producing excessive amounts of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA.

Paranormal beliefs create a sense of control, predictability and comfort in uncertain times, according to academic studies. That doesn’t explain why some people find them more appealing than others, though recent studies are starting to offer explanations about why some people feel so drawn to the paranormal.

There’s now lots of evidence which shows that our own diets and the foods we eat can influence the outcome if we are unlucky enough to suffer from cancer.

In the 1987 classic film “RoboCop,” the deceased Detroit cop Alex Murphy is reborn as a cyborg. He has a robotic body and a full brain-computer interface that allows him to control his movements with his mind. He can access online information such as suspects’ faces, use artificial intelligence (AI) to help detect threats, and his human memories have been integrated with those from a machine.

Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) developed a longitudinal atlas of neuroblastoma, a common and potentially deadly childhood cancer, to gain a deeper understanding into precise molecular mechanisms underlying why and how certain treatments eventually become ineffective.

A recent study published in JAMA Network Open investigates how stigma experienced by parents in sexual and gender minority (SGM) families relates to their children’s emotional and behavioral health.

Like the dengue and Zika viruses, Oropouche virus causes a febrile illness. There are recent indications that infections during pregnancy can cause damage to unborn babies. Researchers at Charité—Universitätsmedizin Berlin have now determined that the virus is much more widespread in Latin America than previously assumed. Their study, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, also suggests that climatic conditions have a significant influence on the virus’s spread.

A recent study has uncovered a potential breakthrough in treating osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH), a debilitating bone disease that causes severe pain and joint collapse. Researchers have discovered that exosomes derived from M2 macrophages-derived exosomes (M2-Exos) can significantly improve bone regeneration by modulating neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and endothelial cell function.

The highly contagious, vaccine-preventable disease inflames the liver and has seen rising outbreaks among men who have sex with men
