Most Accurate Non-Invasive Tests for Liver Disease Identified in Landmark Studies
Two major studies have identified the most accurate non-invasive tests for diagnosing and assessing the severity of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), potentially reducing the need for liver biopsies. The post Most Accurate…
Brain Quality Control Selectively Eliminates Neurons with Abnormal Variants in Development
In developing fetuses, the human brain generates an excess of neurons, most of which are eliminated around when the baby is born. New research suggests that this is an important quality-control mechanism. The post…

Tailoring AI solutions for health care needs
The AI market is full of big promises of grand transformation. Health care is a prime target for those promises, beset as it is by financial pressures, labor shortages, and the growing burden of caring for an aging population. AI…
Structural Brain Network Alterations in Relation to Treatment and Illness Severity in Bipolar Disorder
Large-scale T1-weighted MRI studies have established grey-matter abnormalities in bipolar disorder (BD), with our group contributing to consensus findings. However, structural connectivity, particularly within emotion- and reward-related circuits, remains poorly understood. Diffusion-weighted MRI (dMRI) enables investigation of white-matter pathways, yet…
Addressing the Psychological Needs of Adolescents During the Wait Time for Mental Health Treatment: Service Design Study
Background: Adolescents waiting for mental health treatment often experience significant unmet psychological needs, including severe psychological distress, increased use of maladaptive coping strategies, and feelings of abandonment. However, current wait time support offerings across the mental health sector are sparse…
Older Adults’ Experiences Navigating Setup of Digital Health Technology: Implementation Report
Background: Digital health and connected technologies may support better health outcomes among older adults, including those with multiple chronic conditions or low engagement in health behaviors. However, initial experiences with technology, including during unboxing, setup, and first use, can influence…
Curiosity in a Novel Virtual Reality Scenario and Its Association With Symptoms of Depression: Observational Pilot Investigation
Background: Curiosity plays a fundamental role in human learning, development, and motivation, and emerging evidence suggests that reduced curiosity is linked to poorer mental health outcomes, including depressive symptoms (DS). However, to date, the majority of curiosity research relies on…
STAT+: French regulator fines Novo and Lilly over weight loss ad campaigns
France's medicines regulator has fined Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly over their weight loss ad campaigns.
Opinion: Mifepristone court ruling makes drug development riskier for everyone
The 5th Circuit’s ruling on mifepristone “is bad for health care access, and it’s also bad for innovation,” writes Grace E. Colón.
Biomarker of Epigenetic Aging Could Signal Depression
A biomarker of epigenetic aging of white blood cells called monocytes is linked to depression in a study of women with HIV. The post Biomarker of Epigenetic Aging Could Signal Depression appeared first on Inside Precision Medicine.

Supreme Court restores access to abortion pill mifepristone through telehealth, mail, and pharmacies
The Supreme Court on Monday restored broad access to the abortion pill mifepristone, blocking a ruling that had threatened to upend one of the main ways abortion is provided across the…
Researchers urge study of paternal deaths, though a new paper finds fatherhood is protective

STAT+: Pump the brakes on AI, buddy; and deposition deadlock
It's tough to write nuanced headlines, but a new study on AI in emergency rooms is getting way overhyped.

Depressive Symptoms Are Associated with Altered Development of Amygdala-Ventrolateral Prefrontal Connectivity During Implicit Emotion Regulation Across Adolescence
Adolescence is characterized by extensive development in neural circuits that support emotion processing and regulation, and by increased risk for depression. While altered frontolimbic functioning during emotion processing has been implicated in youth with depression relative to healthy controls, the…
Phasing out animal research prematurely will maintain gender inequities in medicine
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 04 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02309-wDecades of male bias in animal research have left female biology critically understudied. Prematurely phasing out animal research would lock this inequity into future biomedicine, disproportionately harming women.
Stochastic growth and ligand–receptor interaction-mediated stabilization generate stereotyped dendritic arbors
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 04 May 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02278-0Stereotyped dendritic arbors arise from stochastic growth and selective stabilization of dendritic branches. Two pools of guidance receptor are required. Ligand-free receptors drive stochastic growth while ligand-bound receptors stabilize branches.
Microglia-dependent regulation of fear memory extinction
