According to the European Society of Cardiology, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulant (NOAC) therapy reduces imaging signs of clot formation on new heart valves by 45% compared with antiplatelet therapy following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), without compromising patient safety. ACASA-TAVI Trial Results Presented at ESC Congress 2026 The ACASA-TAVI trial, presented during a Hot … Read more
Mapping human brain function requires tracking single-cell and spatial multi-omics across molecular layers, according to a review published in EXO – Beyond the Cell. Traditional bulk tissue measurements often miss the complex anatomical and microenvironmental niches that define neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Single-Cell Multi-Omics and Disease Progression Understanding molecular changes in the brain … Read more
Researchers at the Sant Pau Research Institute in Barcelona have identified early microscopic white matter abnormalities in Alzheimer’s disease patients using a specialized neuroimaging metric called peak width of skeletonized mean diffusivity, or PSMD. According to a study published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia, this advanced diffusion magnetic resonance imaging tool detects subtle structural … Read more
Artificial intelligence can now generate detailed maps highlighting differences in how distinct parts of the brain age, according to a study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Developed by University of Southern California researchers, the deep learning model analyzes magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from nearly 15,000 individuals to map … Read more
Researchers at the National Institute for Environmental Studies, The University of Osaka, and Waseda University have established a new workflow to visualize the three-dimensional distribution of nanoplastics across the neonatal mouse brain without requiring tissue sectioning, according to a study scheduled for publication on June 29, 2026, in the Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances. The … Read more
A 24-year analysis of 1,712 adults from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study reveals that the impact of sedentary behavior on brain health depends heavily on the activity performed. Research published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia indicates that while television watching is associated with reduced brain volumes and increased vascular markers, occupational sitting … Read more
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have identified four distinct populations of specialized mesenchymal support cells that regulate the human intestine. Published in Cellular and Molecular Gastroenterology and Hepatology, the study reveals that these cells—previously thought to function as a single group—form a complex, localized network that coordinates tissue renewal, immune responses, and stem … Read more
A crew of non-medical professionals successfully captured the first diagnostic X-rays in orbit during the Fram2 spaceflight mission in 2025. Published in the journal Radiology by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), the study confirms that off-the-shelf, portable radiography equipment can operate effectively in microgravity, providing a viable alternative to the ultrasound technology that … Read more
A multidisciplinary panel of 60 specialists has released the 2025 edition of the Chinese consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of prolactinomas, published in the Chinese Neurosurgical Journal on June 8, 2026. This evidence-based framework standardizes care across endocrinology, neurosurgery, and radiology to improve early detection and patient outcomes for the most common hormone-secreting pituitary … Read more
Patients under the care of general internists who score in the top quartile of the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Longitudinal Knowledge Assessment (LKA®) are nearly 8% less likely to receive low-value healthcare services than those treated by lower-scoring physicians, according to a study published in JAMA Internal Medicine. These findings, based on data … Read more
