An international consensus on robotic systems for stroke care could help bring order to a fast-growing field — but the evidence provided supports rehabilitation more than stroke treatment as a whole Few areas of health technology are growing with as...
Continue readingA reproductive justice framework may be crucial for addressing inequities in high-risk pregnancy care — but only if it becomes real access, not just rhetoric Few areas of health care expose the gap between medical technology and equity as clearly as...
Continue readingmRNA cancer vaccines may still destroy tumours even when one expected immune piece falters — but the exact mechanism is still unclear from the evidence provided Few areas of oncology are generating as much excitement right now as mRNA cancer vaccines...
Continue readingChronic inflammation may leave lasting marks on gut stem cells and help explain higher colorectal cancer risk — but the evidence provided here is not enough to confirm the link Few ideas are more important in cancer biology than this one: tumours do...
Continue readingDifferences in brain gene activity may help explain why some disorders affect men and women differently Few questions in neuroscience are as important — or as easy to oversimplify — as why some brain disorders affect men and women differently. For de...
Continue readingSongbird brains can generate new neurons — but that does not prove the human brain does the same on a similar scale Few ideas in neuroscience are as captivating as the possibility that the adult brain can continue generating new neurons. For a long t...
Continue readingAn AI tool could help flag intimate partner violence risk — but the promise still depends on stronger evidence and strict ethical safeguards Few areas of health care demand as much sensitivity as intimate partner violence. The problem often remains h...
Continue readingOlder mice may reveal what young models miss about cancer and ageing In biomedical research, the ideal experimental model is often described as controlled, reproducible, and standardised. That is one reason cancer studies have long relied heavily on...
Continue readingBrain ‘noise’ may not be noise at all — and overlooked signals could help refine mental-health biomarkers In brain imaging, few assumptions have seemed more intuitive than this one: if a signal fluctuates too much, varies too widely, or looks unstabl...
