A study published in Nature Medicine suggests physicians who have access to large language models (LLM), also known as chatbots, demonstrate improved performance on several patient care tasks compared to physicians without access to LLM.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers report that all nine patients in a clinical trial being treated for stage III or IV clear cell renal cell carcinoma (a form of kidney cancer), generated a successful anti-cancer immune response after initiation of a personalized cancer vaccine.
Personalized cancer vaccines (PCVs) train the body鈥檚 immune system to recognize and destroy a threat. In this trial, all nine patients who received multiple doses of the vaccine had an immune response within a three-week period and cancer fighting T cells remained elevated for the duration of the study and for years afterward.
Where lies the origin of the Indo-European language family? Ron Pinhasi and his team in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology at the University of Vienna contribute a new piece to this puzzle in collaboration with David Reich's ancient DNA laboratory at Harvard University. They analyzed ancient DNA from 435 individuals from archaeological sites across Eurasia between 6.400鈥2.000 BCE. They found out that a newly recognized Caucasus-Lower Volga population can be connected to all Indo-European-speaking populations. The new study is published in Nature.
An international team of researchers, led by physicists from the University of Vienna, has achieved a breakthrough in data processing by employing an "inverse-design" approach. This method allows algorithms to configure a system based on desired functions, bypassing manual design and complex simulations. The result is a smart "universal" device that uses spin waves ("magnons") to perform multiple data processing tasks with exceptional energy efficiency. Published in Nature Electronics, this innovation marks a transformative advance in unconventional computing, with significant potential for next-generation telecommunications, computing, and neuromorphic systems.
A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has identified a key mechanism responsible for endosomal recycling in cells, a process critical to human health. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, answer a fundamental question in cell biology and could lead to therapies for conditions including neurological disorders and cancer.
A national study seeking more effective treatment for deadly metaplastic breast cancer has identified two inhibitor drugs with the potential to interrupt disease progression.
Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.
Systemic lupus erythematosus, more commonly known as lupus, has a variety of symptoms and room for improvement when it comes to treatment.Cutaneous lupus erythematosus is a common manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.The condition is characterized by rashes on various parts of the body including the face and scalp, hair loss and scarring of the skin.
Berkeley Lab鈥檚 Advanced Light Source and Molecular Foundry provided powerful tools to study asteroid samples returned by NASA鈥檚 OSIRIS-REx mission. Researchers found that asteroid Bennu contained a set of salty mineral deposits that formed in an exact sequence when a brine evaporated, leaving clues about the type of water that flowed billions of years ago.
A new study published in Nature Communications shows that oral fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a feasible and safe addition to preventing graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing stem cell transplantation for blood cancers.
Astronomers have taken a crucial step in showing that the most massive black holes in the universe can create their own meals. Data from NASA鈥檚 Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) provide new evidence that outbursts from black holes can help cool down gas to feed themselves.
A Cleveland Clinic study shows that patients with obesity and fatty liver-related cirrhosis who had bariatric (weight-loss) surgery significantly lowered their future risk of developing serious liver complications compared with patients who received medical therapy alone. The results were published in Nature Medicine journal.
A new study published in Nature Water has revealed England鈥檚 major water and sewage companies are misleading the public and Government using strategies that mirror those of large polluters, including the tobacco and fossil fuels industries.
Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) harboring BRAF V600E mutations benefitted from first-line treatment with the targeted therapies encorafenib and cetuximab plus a mFOLFOX6 chemotherapy regimen, according to results from the Phase鈥疘II BREAKWATER trial led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.
