  • New technique identifies proteins that trigger immune responses in transplants and implants
    on April 6, 2026 at 5:50 pm

    Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a new method to identify which proteins are most likely to trigger an immune response—a discovery that could help improve transplant care, regenerative medicine and other areas where the immune system plays a critical role. The results, published in Biomaterials, challenge a common assumption in the field that all proteins are equally likely to provoke immune reactions.

  • AED algorithm could improve location of lifesaving devices
    on April 6, 2026 at 5:40 pm

    Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University investigators and colleagues created an algorithm designed to use data on sudden cardiac arrests to determine the best public locations for lifesaving devices called automated external defibrillators. Their findings were published in IJC Heart & Vasculature.

  • About 80% of breast cancer biopsies turn out benign. New imaging tool promises clearer diagnoses and fewer biopsies
    on April 6, 2026 at 5:30 pm

    Ultrasound is widely used in breast cancer diagnosis. While it can effectively show that a lump is filled with fluid—indicating it is unlikely to be cancer—it cannot reliably determine whether a solid mass is benign or cancerous. This often leads doctors to order breast biopsies to confirm the presence of cancer.

  • Study outlines life-enhancement paths for those in long-term care facilities
    on April 6, 2026 at 5:20 pm

    A University at Buffalo study of older adults transitioning to long-term care has identified “life-enhancing” activities to counteract loneliness, sadness, and isolation. In the study, published in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, researchers in the schools of Nursing and Public Health and Health Professions observed 20 life-enhancement activity sessions in a Canadian long-term care facility in September 2024 to see what really influences engagement among older adults. The researchers tracked things like self-initiative, social interaction, emotional expression, and distractions.

  • Examining evolving trends in oral cavity cancer among younger adults

    April marks Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month, a national campaign encouraging early detection and raising awareness of cancers affecting the mouth, throat, and related structures. This crucial message about early detection is reinforced by new original research published in Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery.
