In a study of commonly used treatments for multiple sclerosis, both medical and behavioral interventions, and a combination of the two, resulted in significant improvements in fatigue. Researchers say the findings could shape treatment approaches to one of the most challenging symptoms experienced by people with multiple sclerosis.
According to findings from a multicenter study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine and released today in The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), transplanting kidneys from deceased donors who had the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to recipients with HIV is safe. Perhaps more importantly, the study authors also found that HIV-to-HIV kidney transplants are comparable in effectiveness to those using organs from donors without HIV.
An Iowa State University plant biologist received a $1.8 million federal grant to study a gene that affects both how plants grow and how they respond to environmental threats. Unraveling the balancing act between fortifying and flourishing could help scientists develop crops that are more resilient in challenging conditions.
A study led by Adam Rodman, MD, MPH, Director of AI Programs at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC), reveals that, rather than helping to reduce racial and ethnic biases, AI-driven chatbots may instead perpetuate and exacerbate disparities in medicine.
A treatment that rallies the immune system to destroy cancer raised the survival rate for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma patients to a remarkable 92 percent, suggesting a new standard therapy for the disease. The New England Journal of Medicine published the innovative clinical trial results this week.
Reporters are invited to this briefing about research from the Wilmot Cancer Institute at the University of Rochester Medical Center, with a new study to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).

Victor Menaldo, UW professor of political science, co-authored the forthcoming book, "U.S. Innovation Inequality and Trumpism." The book focuses on how former President Donald Trump — like other populists that came before him — exploits ‘innovation inequality," or the divide between areas that are more technologically advanced and those that aren’t.
UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers discover a groundbreaking oral breast cancer drug that is also effective in treating a rare form of appendix cancer.
For people with ischemic stroke, treatment with the clot-busting drug tenecteplase is associated with a slightly higher likelihood of an excellent recovery and reduced disability three months later than the drug alteplase, according to a meta-analysis published in the October 16, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Researchers found that the likelihood of good recovery was similar between the two treatments.
For people with stroke, social factors such as race, neighborhood and insurance, may be linked to whether they receive treatment, according to a study published in the October 16, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
A Cleveland Clinic-led study published in The EMBO Journal shows that mild and asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections can trigger immune responses in a pregnant individual that may cause serious inflammatory responses in the developing fetus.
Biochemist David Baker — just announced as a recipient of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry — turned to the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for information he couldn’t get anywhere else. HFIR is the strongest reactor-based neutron source in the United States.
In new research published in the journal Fuel, Baylor University researchers with the Cornerstone Atomization and Combustion Lab (CAC) have unveiled a pioneering method for the efficient combustion of biofuels, using a revolutionary Swirl Burst (SB) injector to burn glycerol/methanol blends with near-zero emissions. This new technology enables ultra-clean combustion for fuels that are typically difficult to burn due to their high viscosity.
J. Margo Brooks Carthon, PhD, RN, FAAN, the Tyson Family Endowed Term Chair for Gerontological Research; Professor of Nursing in the Department of Family and Community Health; and Associate Director of the Center for Health Outcomes and Policy Research, has been appointed the new Director of the Barbara Bates Center for the Study of the History of Nursing (Bates Center), the preeminent history of nursing research center and archive.
Mayo Clinic Platform_Accelerate has announced a strategic agreement with the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) to implement a two-phase program aimed at enhancing U.S. healthcare and business immersion opportunities for Japanese health technology companies.
Rutgers University-New Brunswick leaders have made an initial investment of $10 million to advance the university’s capabilities and expand the scope of its research and scholarship on artificial intelligence and data science, with the expectation of producing the sorts of groundbreaking insights and practical solutions that will mark it as an innovator in the revolutionary technologies.
Rutgers Health researchers link Zearalenone levels to diet quality and call for further study.
In an Argonne-led project, researchers used X-ray microscopy to discover a ferroelectric material that tailors its response to controlled ultrafast external stimuli, such as light pulses. The material might be applicable to energy-efficient microelectronics.
Fred Crawford, the former president and COO of supplemental health insurance provider Aflac and a University of Iowa alum, will be the first executive in residence at the university's Tippie College of Business.
