  • Simple SMS ‘nudge’ a powerful prompt for timely vaccination
    on February 12, 2026 at 4:01 pm

    10,000 families participating in research by The Kids Research Institute Australia have demonstrated the effectiveness of a simple text message for increasing the number of children receiving their vaccinations on time. Throughout 2021–2024, over 20,000 text messages were sent to Australian parents as part of the AuTOMATIC trial—thought to be the most automated clinical trial ever conducted.

  • Exercise may train the brain to build endurance via SF1 neuron activity
    on February 12, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    Exercise does more than strengthen muscles; it also rewires the brain. In a study published in Neuron, researchers reveal that the lasting gain in endurance from repeated exercise—such as the ability to run farther and faster over time—involves changes in brain activity that help muscles and hearts to become stronger.

  • What causes brain fog?

    Brain fog is a term people use to describe a group of cognitive symptoms, including trouble concentrating, slower thinking, forgetfulness, and feeling mentally worn out. People experiencing brain fog often recognize that their thinking should feel sharper, which adds to the frustration.

  • 3D MRI technique guides precision treatment of kids’ heart conditions

    With a new MRI technique that shows both heart tissue and blood flow simultaneously, physicians can see where heart defects occur and precisely plan to repair them, according to new research. Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) in Pennsylvania have developed 3D volume rendering methods for cardiac MRI that display complex structures within the heart and show how blood moves through them, much like ultrasound images, but without the typical challenges of positioning angles.

  • Light-based sensor detects early molecular signs of cancer in the blood
    on February 12, 2026 at 3:00 pm

    Researchers have developed a highly sensitive light-based sensor that can detect extremely low concentrations of cancer biomarkers in the blood. The new technology could one day make it possible to spot early signs of cancer and other conditions using a simple blood test.
