  • Using real-time brain signals to predict and prevent attention lapses in kids
    on May 13, 2026 at 9:00 am

    Inside a deep brain stimulation program at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), researchers have discovered a brain signal that predicts when a child is about to lose attention—and that a brief, targeted intervention in response to that signal can restore their focus. Their study, published in Nature Neuroscience, represents the first time this approach for attention control has been studied in people.

  • Urine nanosensor tracks lung cancer signals and early fibrosis, moving toward clinical trials
    on May 13, 2026 at 9:00 am

    A urine test developed by scientists at the University of Cambridge has moved a step closer to clinical use following new findings revealing it could do more than first thought. Originally designed to detect early signs of lung cancer and treatment resistance, the test shows potential in identifying biological signals associated with pulmonary fibrosis—a serious condition where early diagnosis remains a major challenge.

  • Perimenopause may offer a ‘window of opportunity’ for heart disease prevention in women
    on May 13, 2026 at 9:00 am

    Perimenopausal women are two times more likely to have a low cardiovascular health score compared to women having regular menstrual cycles, according to an analysis of nationwide U.S. data published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

  • A new approach to cancer vaccination yields more powerful T cells
    on May 13, 2026 at 9:00 am

    MIT engineers have developed a new way to amplify the T-cell response to mRNA vaccines—an advance that could lead to much more powerful cancer vaccines and stronger protection against infectious diseases.
