Researchers have developed a machine-learning model that analyzes MRI brain scans to detect Alzheimer’s disease, achieving 92.87% accuracy in distinguishing mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s. Read More.

A new “glowing antibody” could help doctors spot the right cancers—and the right treatments—much faster. Read More.

Scientists have built a massive cellular atlas showing how aging reshapes the body across 21 organs. Studying nearly 7 million cells, they found that aging starts earlier than expected and unfolds in a coordinated way throughout the body. About a quarter of cell types change in number over time, and many of these shifts differ between males and females. The research also highlights shared genetic “hotspots” that could become targets for anti-aging therapies. Read More.

At least 20,000 Australian women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. And more than 3,300 die from the disease. Read More.

Dr. Daniel Snavely, a cardiologist with Valley Health, says he was skeptical about wearable health-monitoring technology when it started gaining popularity about 10 years ago. Read More.

A study discussed an AI model capable of identifying people at a high risk of both diabetes and death from cardiovascular disease more effectively than the HbA1c test. Read More.

A 35-year-old New York City man paid about $2,500 for a whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan that came up healthy — but then suffered a massive stroke less than a year later that the expensive procedure flagged no sign of, The Washington Post reports. Read More.

MIT engineers have designed a new capsule that communicates wirelessly from the stomach after ingestion, using biodegradable materials to transmit a confirmation signal. The innovation aims to tackle the costly and deadly problem of medication non-adherence without leaving permanent devices inside the body. Read More.

Stanford Medicine scientists and their colleagues created the first artificial intelligence model that can predict more than 100 health conditions from one night’s sleep. Read More.

Experts from University College London and Loughborough University used artificial intelligence to analyse tens of thousands of social media posts on X. Read More.

Scientists developed a non-invasive MRI technique to measure brain iron levels, which may help identify patients at higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease early. Read More.

A surprising new study uncovers an unexpected shift in the eyes during VR use—one that might make you rethink what’s happening behind the headset. Read More.

A quiet shift inside one major health system hints at a surprising new way hospitals may rethink a problem hiding in plain sight. Read More.

A quiet shift inside a Connecticut cancer center is changing a long-accepted ritual of treatment—and most patients don’t even realize what’s missing. Read More.

A surprising new development hints at a future where an everyday health struggle might be handled in a completely unexpected way. Read More.
