Injuries and substance abuse are leading causes of adolescent deaths. Screening adolescents for substance use can reduce the risk of future drug and alcohol use and reinjury. But how are clinicians deciding who to screen?
A research team at the National Cancer Institute-designated Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Center (MECCC) has discovered a natural immune mechanism in mice that stops escaped cancer cells from developing into tumors elsewhere in the body. The findings were published today in the journal Cell.
After nearly doubling over the 20th century, the rate of increase in life expectancy has slowed considerably in the last three decades, according to a new study led by the University of Illinois Chicago.
UTHealth Houston is the first institution in Houston to administer an FDA-approved drug, Kisunla (donanemab-azbt), for the treatment of early symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease.
Drug discovery is much like working a jigsaw puzzle. The chemical compounds behind drug molecules must be shaped to fit with the proteins in our bodies to produce therapeutic effects. That requirement for a meticulous fit means the creation of new drugs is extremely complex and time-consuming.
To speed up the puzzle-fitting process, researchers at SMU have created SmartCADD. This open-source virtual tool combines artificial intelligence, quantum mechanics and Computer Assisted Drug Design (CADD) techniques to speed up the screening of chemical compounds, significantly reducing drug discovery timelines.

Dementia doesn’t just erode memory – it also changes behavior and mental health. A new study shows the brain’s salience network and tau protein may be involved.
New experimental results suggest that sprinkling boron into a tokamak could shield the wall of the fusion vessel and prevent atoms from the wall from getting into the plasma. A new computer modeling framework shows the boron powder may only need to be sprinkled from one location. The experimental results and computer modeling framework will be presented this week at the 66th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics in Atlanta.
A new study finds consumers are more willing to accept slower delivery from retailers when ordering products online if the retailers agree to donate to a charitable cause.
