A case in Herkimer County, New York, led health officials to uncover local tick transmission of Borrelia mayonii, a rare Lyme disease bacterium once known only from the Midwest.
Mayo Clinic researchers and collaborators have shown that artificial intelligence (AI) can analyze routine pathology slides to help classify meningiomas, the most common primary brain tumor in adults, and predict a patient’s risk of tumor recurrence.
By inducing specific patterns of activity in small portions of the brain in awake mice, researchers have triggered a recalibration of neural connections that normally only occurs during sleep. This new approach offset the effects of sleep deprivation on memory tasks and revealed features of sleep that are key to its restorative effect.
An anticancer medication called TLD1433, a ruthenium(II) complex that has entered Phase II trials for conditions such as non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, is now being repurposed to address one of the biggest public health issues globally—bacterial infections.

A group of researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has recently developed a new stem cell therapy with a remarkable ability to reverse new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) in a mouse model of the disease. The work is published in the journal Molecular Therapy.
The first human clinical trial of a universal Sarbeco coronavirus vaccine, developed by the University of Cambridge and spin-out DIOSynVax (DVX) Ltd, has shown that the vaccine is safe and has no significant side effects.
The new vaccine aims to produce an immune response that will protect against many pathogens—including some circulating among wild animals that might jump into humans in the future.
