  • Atlantic climate variability enables the prediction of leishmaniasis outbreaks in North Africa
    on August 22, 2026 at 9:00 pm

    Climate variability in the Atlantic Ocean can help predict cutaneous leishmaniasis outbreaks in North Africa several months in advance. This is the finding of a new study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), together with researchers from the Pasteur Institutes of Tunisia, Morocco and France.

  • Previously missed DNA mutation pattern in colorectal cancer identified
    on August 22, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    Researchers from the University of California San Diego and collaborators have identified a previously overlooked pattern of DNA mutations in colorectal cancer. Scientists use these patterns, known as mutational signatures, to investigate the biological and environmental processes that have damaged DNA during cancer development.

    Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) is a dangerous virus spread by ticks. It transmits Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF), a serious disease that has been spreading into new regions worldwide. Capable of killing up to 40% of people infected, it currently has no widely approved, highly effective treatments or vaccines.

    Deep brain stimulation, or DBS, may help improve speech and swallowing problems caused by traumatic brain injury (TBI), according to a new University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine study published in Nature Communications.

  • Oral therapy protected mice from lethal radiation while sparing cancer treatment
    on August 22, 2026 at 3:20 pm

    Researchers at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have developed an experimental oral therapy that protected mice from otherwise harmful radiation exposure while preserving radiation’s ability to destroy cancer cells, a finding that could ultimately improve cancer treatment and strengthen preparedness for radiological emergencies.
