  • Brain’s ‘cleanup’ molecule could aid recovery after stroke
    on November 10, 2026 at 3:20 pm

    A naturally occurring molecule that helps the brain clear away damaged blood cells could open the door to new treatments for one of the deadliest forms of stroke, research led by University of Manchester scientists suggests.

  • Blood proteins that may predict brain and cardiovascular health issues identified
    on November 10, 2026 at 3:00 pm

    Researchers from the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), have identified four proteins in the blood that could potentially help identify people at higher risk of worsening cerebrovascular disease, cognitive decline, serious heart- and stroke-related events, and mortality.

  • Researchers detect signs of neuronal damage in the earliest stage of Huntington’s disease
    on November 10, 2026 at 3:00 pm

    Before motor or cognitive impairments appear and before brain volume loss becomes evident, some individuals carrying the genetic mutation that causes Huntington’s disease already show signs of neuronal injury. This is demonstrated by a study conducted by the Institut de Recerca Sant Pau (IR Sant Pau), which has detected elevated levels of neurofilament light chain (NfL), a protein that indicates this damage, in individuals classified in the earliest stage of the disease.

  • Patient comfort with AI-driven health care hinges on provider oversight
    on November 10, 2026 at 2:50 pm

    More than half of patients (56%) are comfortable with artificial intelligence (AI) making diagnosis or treatment decisions when their health care provider can change or override them, but that figure falls to just 9% when AI makes those decisions without provider review, according to new data from the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America. The nationally representative survey of more than 5,000 U.S. adults found similar patterns in patient comfort with AI used to interpret diagnostic images or make medication decisions.

  • Experimental drug eliminates 75% of aggressive pancreatic tumors and enhances immune system memory
    on November 10, 2026 at 2:40 pm

    Many solid tumors, including many cancers of the pancreas, breast, colon and lung, protect themselves with a dense wall of scar-like tissue. That wall keeps the immune system’s cancer-killing T cells out. It is a major reason why immunotherapy drugs, which have transformed treatment for some patients, help only a minority of people with solid tumors.
