Feasibility study examining the short-term effects of Sonic Augmentation Technology™
BackgroundThe current study evaluated Sonic Augmentation Technology™ (SAT), a novel, Polyvagal-informed probe that incorporates continuously varying and acoustic features modeled on patterns of autonomic regulation into musical soundscapes. Specifically, the study examined whether SAT led to improvements in self-reported biobehavioral…
Social connectedness in mobile gaming: how family dynamics shape children’s virtual interactions
BackgroundMobile gaming is important for children’s social interaction, but its impact on real-life social connectedness depends heavily on family dynamics. How family patterns shape children’s emotional and social experiences around gaming remains underexplored, particularly qualitatively. This study examined how family…

Single-cell spatial pharmacobiology for imaging antibody-based therapies in solid tumors
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03171-8We have developed single-cell spatial pharmacobiology (SSP), which combines in situ imaging of a systemically infused fluorescent therapeutic antibody with high-plex spatial proteomics. Applied to head and neck and pancreatic tumors from patients…
Effects of SGLT2 inhibition on incident heart failure in carriers of cardiomyopathy-associated genetic variants
Nature Medicine, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04439-xIn a whole-exome sequencing analysis, the beneficial effects of the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in reducing the risk of future heart failure hospitalization in individuals with type 2 diabetes were markedly greater in individuals…
Post-adjuvant chemotherapy in ctDNA-positive patients with resected colorectal cancer: a randomized phase 3 trial
Nature Medicine, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04428-0In the randomized, double-blind phase 3 ALTAIR trial, patients with resected colorectal cancer who became positive for circulating tumor DNA during post-adjuvant surveillance received trifluridine/tipiracil hydrochloride therapy, which did not significantly prolong disease-free…
Electronic cigarette use after smoking cessation and lung cancer risk
Nature Medicine, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41591-026-04469-5A nationwide retrospective analysis of 4.5 million Korean adults found that electronic cigarette use after smoking cessation was associated with higher lung cancer incidence and mortality compared with complete smoking cessation.
Induction of cortical on/off periods in awake mice fulfills sleep functions
Nature Neuroscience, Published online: 08 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41593-026-02318-9Driessen et al. show that core benefits of sleep—reduced local sleep pressure, renormalized synaptic strength and memory consolidation—can be reproduced in awake, behaving mice by inducing sleep-like on/off activity patterns in cortex.
