Cancer researchers working on immunotherapies have made a big discovery: SLAMF6, a molecule on the surface of immune cells that prevents T cells from effectively attacking tumors—and, in mice, they’ve found a way to neutralize it.

Researchers have identified and characterized a previously unknown cellular barrier in the brain, which sheds new light on how the brain is protected from the rest of the body.

While other drugs clear existing plaques, levetiracetam prevents production of toxic amyloid beta peptides

A wearable biosensor developed by Washington State University researchers could improve wireless glucose monitoring for people with diabetes, making it more cost-effective, accurate, and less invasive than current models.

“By using a simple and inexpensive technique that pathologists already use every day, it is now possible to make a better risk assessment, even in countries where advanced technologies are not available.”

New research from McMaster University suggests that disruptions in a person’s sleep and daily activity routine, as detected through a simple wrist-worn device, can signal when there is increased risk of relapsing into major depression.

National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have developed a digital replica of crucial eye cells, providing a new tool for studying how the cells organize themselves when they are healthy and affected by diseases.

Researchers at the University of Arkansas have developed an artificial-intelligence diagnostic tool to detect masked hypertension.
