In a small number of patients, Barrett's esophagus progresses to esophageal cancer. New findings shed light on the genetic changes that accompany tumor development.

An artificial intelligence system has been used to distinguish between stable and progressive cognitive impairment from MRI images with 85% accuracy.

Age-related changes in strength and mobility may depend on genetic variations in a critical mitochondrial enzyme, suggests a study published in eLife.

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) approach that can predict who will develop pancreatic cancer based on what their CT scan images look like prior to being diagnosed with the disease.

Researchers have identified biomarkers that can differentiate between severe COVID-19 and preeclampsia in pregnancy, which could lead to a more accurate diagnosis for both diseases and a better risk assessment.

Analysis of the transcriptome of breast cancer cells has revealed significant changes to genes that could be used to determine the risk of cancer recurrence.

Scientists found that some preterm infants undergo marked alterations in their pattern of gut viruses shortly before developing a serious and often fatal disease known as necrotizing enterocolitis.

An optical fiber with a variable refractive index has been shown to boost the power of supercontinuum light, giving it many potential applications from environmental monitoring to food quality control.

Salk scientists report in the journal Gastroenterology that a protein known as estrogen-related receptor gamma (ERR ɣ) is critical for preventing pancreatic auto-digestion in mice.

Scientists and clinicians from the University of Cambridge – supported by Cancer Research UK (CRUK) – have conducted the largest whole-genome sequencing analysis of cancer tumors to date.
