AI-powered electrocardiogram detects early signs of heart failure

UT South Western-led Kenya study suggests relatively inexpensive technology could reduce cardiac health disparities in developing countries Interpreting relatively inexpensive electrocardiograms (ECGs) with an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm accurately screened patients for a key precursor of heart failure in Kenya, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows. The results, published in JAMA Cardiology, suggest

Hydraulic brain: Body motion linked to fluid movement in the brain and washing away cerebral waste

Abdominal contractions are tightly linked to gentle brain movements that help circulate cerebrospinal fluid, researchers find in mouse study The brain is more mechanically connected to the body than previously appreciated, scientists reported today (April 27) in Nature Neuroscience. Through a study using mice and simulations, the team found a potential biological mechanism underlying why exercise is

Stem Cell Memory CAR T Cells Achieve Complete Remissions at Low Doses Without Chemotherapy Preconditioning

Stem-cell memory T (TSCM) cells are a rare subset of immune cells with the ability to self-renew, persist long term, and mount potent anti-tumor responses. These properties make them an attractive candidate for next-generation CAR T-cell therapies. However, their clinical potential has not previously been demonstrated in humans. An international team of researchers co-led by

Blood stem cells evade immunity in aplastic anemia by similar genetic mutations arising independently

A genomic study of the largest pediatric and adult aplastic anemia cohort genetically profiled to date, finds that protective mutations arise as independent events in different stem cells years before diagnosis. Aplastic anemia is a rare, life-threatening blood disorder where patients are unable to make enough blood cells due to the immune system’s attack on

New OBSCORE tool helps to identify people at highest risk of obesity-related diseases

A simple tool, developed by researchers at Queen Mary University of London and the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité, could help identify which people living with obesity or overweight are most likely to develop serious obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The study, published in Nature Medicine, shows that future risk
