A human iPSC-derived sensory neuron platform for high-throughput discovery of neuroprotectants against chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy
Petrova et al. develop a high-throughput human iPSC-derived sensory neuron platform for drug discovery in chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy. They uncover that inhibition of three members of the STE20 kinase family (MAP4K4/MINK1/TNIK) is neuroprotective against paclitaxel-induced axon damage, with validation in…

Effects of an Eye-Tracking Digital Serious Game on Cognitive Function in Mild Cognitive Impairment: Pilot Intervention Study
Background: Cognitive decline in aging populations underscores the need for early interventions in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), where pharmacological treatments show limited benefit. Eye-movement metrics serve as sensitive markers of cognitive deficits in MCI, and digital programs integrating these tasks…
Automated Safety Testing and Reporting Application for Conversational Safety Monitoring of Generative AI Tools for Mental Health: Development and Validation Study
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI)–based conversational tools are rapidly expanding within mental health care as a means of increasing access and scalability. At the same time, these systems introduce distinct safety risks arising from both user disclosures (eg, self-harm ideation) and…

Automated PACS-integrated pipeline for TractSeg-based segmentation of the arcuate fasciculus in patients with hearing loss
ObjectiveWhile tractography is used to determine the anatomical course of white matter tracts, it can often be imprecise and time-consuming, which can be a problem when comparing large groups of patients. The aim of this study is to compare the…
Altered perivascular-aligned diffusivity in postherpetic neuralgia assessed by the DTI-ALPS index
BackgroundThe glymphatic system has been proposed as a key pathway for interstitial fluid clearance in the brain, but its role in chronic neuropathic pain conditions such as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) remains unclear. The diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular…
Stronger associations of affectivity than social leisure activities with cognitive impairment: a 10-year trajectory study of Chinese older adults
BackgroundBoth positive and negative affectivity (PNA) and social leisure activities (SLA) are significantly associated with cognitive function, yet their relative strength of association with long-term cognitive decline remains unclear. Exploring this issue has significant implications for designing precise and effective…
