In the early hours of Friday, July 10, a team of researchers dropped the world's first general-purpose biomedical AI agent, which has the power to autonomously complete complex tasks that would take a team of scientists days, if not weeks, to do.

Avoidant restrictive food intake disorder is often misunderstood as extreme picky eating. But for millions of children, it’s a serious condition with real consequences for growth, nutrition and daily life. A new study shows how ARFID can be treated.

The community of bacteria living in the intestines could be one of the drivers of memory loss in old age, says a new study. The finding could lead to new strategies to protect gut-brain communications and slow cognitive decline.

A new “audio shield” uses earbuds connected to hand-mounted microphones for hearing the subtle sounds of everyday tasks. The mechanism helps users block the perpetual hurricane of distractions and achieve mindfulness, reducing the effects of ADHD.

Scientists have found the clearest evidence yet that Epstein-Barr virus – which nearly all of us carry for life – is directly responsible for hijacking our immune system's cells to cause lupus, a chronic disease that affects up to a million Americans.

Stanford researchers and global collaborators have developed a wireless retinal implant called PRIMA that's helping people with untreatable eyesight loss see not just light, but actual shapes and patterns – what scientists call form vision.

Scientists have found out exactly how an exercise-triggered molecule suppresses hunger signals in the brain, leading to weight loss. It could be harnessed as a therapeutic, providing the same benefit without the work it takes to produce it naturally.

It's an inconvenient fact that many drugs have to be administered in the form of a slow intravenous (IV) drip, as opposed to a single quick injection. That may be about to change, however, thanks to a new take on an existing "spray drying" technique.

How do you send drugs to specific parts of the body so they do their job and avoid causing side effects elsewhere? According to researchers at Stanford University, the answer is a combination of nanoparticles, a pulse of ultrasound, and sugar.

A subtle tweak in the way you walk – putting your toes in or out by a few degrees – could ease knee osteoarthritis pain and slow joint damage, according to new research that found personalized gait retraining can reduce strain on vulnerable cartilage.

Hospital meals have long been the butt of jokes, but new research shows they might actually pose a health risk, with low-quality diets failing to meet basic nutrition standards in hospitals and nursing homes.

We all know that injuries inside the mouth heal quicker than those on the outside of the body. Scientists have a new understanding of why, and believe that their findings could be used in wound treatments that reduce or even eliminate scarring.
