MS may begin far earlier than previously thought

2025-08-01

The earliest warning signs of multiple sclerosis (MS) may emerge more than a decade before the first classical neurological symptoms occur, according to new research from the University of British Columbia. Published today in JAMA Network Open, the study analyzed the health records of more than 12,000 people in British Columbia and found that those with MS began using healthcare services at elevated rates 15 years before their first MS symptoms appear. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about when the disease truly begins, offering the most comprehensive ...

New AI tool learns to read medical images with far less data

2025-08-01

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool could make it much easier—and cheaper—for doctors and researchers to train medical imaging software, even when only a small number of patient scans are available. The AI tool improves upon a process called medical image segmentation, where every pixel in an image is labeled based on what it represents—cancerous or normal tissue, for example. This process is often performed by a highly trained expert, and deep learning has shown promise in automating this labor-intensive task. The big challenge is that deep learning-based ...

Study identifies global upswing in photosynthesis driven by land, offset by oceans

2025-08-01

Terrestrial plants drove an increase in global photosynthesis between 2003 and 2021, a trend partially offset by a weak decline in photosynthesis — the process of using sunlight to make food — among marine algae, according to a new study published in Nature Climate Change on Aug. 1. The findings could inform planetary health assessments, enhance ecosystem management, and guide climate change projections and mitigation strategies. Photosynthetic organisms — also known as primary producers — form the base of the food chain, making most life on Earth possible. Using ...

Study reports final clinical trial data for advanced kidney cancer treatment

2025-08-01

A two-drug combination for treating advanced kidney cancer had sustained and durable clinical benefit in more than five years of follow-up, according to a study published Aug. 1 in Nature Medicine. The study reports final clinical data and biomarker analyses from the Phase 3 KEYNOTE-426 trial, which compared the drug combination pembrolizumab plus axitinib versus the single drug sunitinib for patients with previously untreated advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma, the most common type of kidney cancer. “KEYNOTE-426 was the first trial to combine a PD-1 ...

Antibiotic resistant bacteria found in malnourished children under five years old

2025-08-01

A new study led by researchers at the Ineos Oxford Institute for antimicrobial research (IOI) has found that antimicrobial resistant bacteria is spreading rapidly among children being treated for severe malnutrition in a hospital facility in Niger. The findings have been published today (1 August) in Nature Communications Globally 45 million children under the age of five are estimated to be severely malnourished. These children are also at a higher risk of developing life-threatening infections such as tuberculosis or sepsis due to their weakened immune systems. Working with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), researchers analysed over 3,000 ...

Study: Most US homes can save money and affordably weather blackouts with solar plus storage

2025-08-01

Most U.S. households could reduce their electricity costs and endure power outages by installing rooftop solar panels and battery packs, according to a new Stanford University study, though people may need to buy the equipment by Dec. 31. About 60% of families could reduce their electricity costs by 15% on average by installing a solar-battery system. That’s after accounting for annualized capital and operating costs of the equipment. Some 63% of U.S households could also weather local or regional blackouts with such systems, able to meet about half their electricity needs on average. These households would either save money on electricity or ...
