This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. 5 key points in Trump’s new AI order Less than two weeks after scrapping an executive…
STAT+: Alnylam to partner with Inceptive Nucleics for AI foundation models for RNAi therapeutics
Alnylam announced a three-year deal with Inceptive, worth up to $2 billion, with $30 million up front in cash and equity in the startup.
STAT+: HaloMD faces lawsuit alleging No Surprises Act middleman used ‘sham letter,’ misleading data
Highmark Health is the fourth insurer to sue HaloMD, seeking to overturn arbitration wins.
How virtual power plants could provide energy for data centers
Would you take a payment to ramp down your electricity use? Would it change anything if you were doing so to help power a local data center? Google just signed a new deal to help pay for a virtual power…
STAT+: What the pope’s encyclical on AI means for Catholic hospitals, and all of health care
In this edition of STAT's AI Prognosis: Brittany Trang analyzes the pope's encyclical on artificial intelligence for takeaways relevant for health care.

Transcriptional signatures of the cortical morphometric similarity network gradient in left temporal lobe epilepsy with different seizure symptoms
BackgroundTemporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) manifests with diverse seizure symptoms, including focal to bilateral tonic—clonic seizures (FBTCS), linked to widespread brain network disruptions. The role of cortical morphometric similarity (MS) network gradients and their relationship with gene expression in TLE remains…
Characteristic MRI pattern in LMNB1-related autosomal dominant leukodystrophy: a case report
IntroductionAdult-onset autosomal dominant leukodystrophy (ADLD) is an ultra-rare inherited white matter disorder caused by variants in the LMNB1 gene. Here, we report a case of ADLD and characterize its typical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features, with the aim of facilitating…
A novel early screening approach for MCI due to AD based on a “maze” hand-interaction kinetic paradigm
BackgroundMild cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease (MCI due to AD) is a crucial stage for the early identification of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and timely detection at this stage may provide opportunities for earlier intervention and potentially delay disease progression.MethodsThis…
Unraveling the role of asymmetric excitatory and inhibitory synaptic inputs to retinal ganglion cell direction selectivity
IntroductionUnderstanding the mechanisms underlying direction selectivity in retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) is crucial in visual neuroscience. Retinal direction selectivity is critical for gaze stabilization through optokinetic and vestibulo-ocular reflexes, and its loss impairs the ability to stabilize gaze and track…
Rebuilding spinal circuit function after spinal cord injury through a patient-specific interneuron precision model
Spinal interneurons constitute the physiological core of spinal circuitry, integrating excitatory and inhibitory inputs to generate the rhythmic patterns that drive locomotor, postural, and autonomic control. Their developmental logic, molecular diversity, and adaptive plasticity make them central determinants of functional…
Prediction model for postoperative delirium risk in elderly hypertensive patients: machine learning-based development and validation
BackgroundPostoperative delirium (POD) is a severe complication in elderly hypertensive patients, associated with poor long-term outcomes. Existing models often rely on intraoperative data, limiting preoperative risk stratification. This study aimed to develop a non-invasive machine learning model to predict POD…
Treatment outcomes of an integrated treatment model for patients with co-occurring opioid use and schizophrenia spectrum disorders
BackgroundIndividuals with schizophrenia spectrum disorders are at elevated risk for developing opioid use disorder and often experience higher substance use rates and morbidity. However, integrated treatment models for such patients remain rare.ObjectiveThis study addresses a gap in clinical knowledge by…
Clinical practice guidelines and quality standards for early intervention in psychosis: an AGREE II appraisal and systematic review of service components
BackgroundEarly intervention in psychosis (EIP) is a key component of youth mental health care, yet recommended models of care for individuals at clinical high risk for psychosis (CHR-P) and first-episode psychosis (FEP) remain heterogeneous across jurisdictions. No previous study has…
Case Report: Multimodal clinical and neurophysiological effects of cranial electrotherapy stimulation in a patient with chronic stress and sleep disturbance
IntroductionCranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) is a non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) technique used for anxiety and sleep disorders; however, case-level evidence linking clinical improvement with objective neurophysiological change remains limited. This case presents a multimodal examination of the therapeutic and neurophysiological…
Reduced serum cortisol, IGF-1, GLP-1, and T3 levels in medication-free children and adolescents with obsessive–compulsive disorder: a case–control study
IntroductionObsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) frequently emerges during childhood and adolescence and has been associated with alterations in multiple neurobiological systems. Neuroendocrine pathways involved in stress regulation, neurodevelopment, metabolic signaling, and thyroid function interact closely to influence brain circuits implicated in OCD.…
Programmable control of bacterial operons with a single Cas13 RNA effector
Nature Biotechnology, Published online: 03 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s41587-026-03159-4The SONAR system enables RNA-level control of bacterial operons using a single engineered Cas13 effector that can be modified to control transcript degradation, translation inhibition and translation activation through simple changes in crRNA…
