(Press-News.org) About The Study: Among adults with prediabetes and overweight or obesity, referral to a fully automated AI-led Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) was noninferior to referral to a human-led DPP in achieving a composite outcome based on weight reduction, physical activity, and HbA1c.

An AI-powered lifestyle intervention vs human coaching in the diabetes prevention program

AI-powered diabetes prevention program shows similar benefits to those led by people
2025-10-27
Researchers from Johns Hopkins Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health report that an AI-powered lifestyle intervention app for prediabetes reduced the risk of diabetes similarly to traditional, human-led programs in adults.
Funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in JAMA Oct. 27, the study is believed to be the first phase III randomized controlled clinical trial to demonstrate that an AI-powered diabetes prevention program (DPP) app helps patients meet diabetes risk-reduction benchmarks established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at rates comparable to those in human-led programs.
An estimated 97.6 ...
New study may transform diagnosis of Britain’s number one cancer
2025-10-27
A major new study, which has recently begun recruiting, is hoped to lead to earlier detection of lung cancers.
People living in Leeds, Bath, Hull and Stoke-on-Trent will be among those approached to take part. The study is funded by National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
At the moment, chest X-ray is the test GPs are advised to use in almost for almost all symptoms to rule out or confirm a cancer. Symptoms can include a cough that persists for several weeks.
Worryingly, however, chest X-rays are not always conclusive. ...

How animals get their spots, and why they are beautifully imperfect
2025-10-27
From tiger stripes to leopard spots, the animal world is full of distinctive and intricate patterns.
In a new study, CU Boulder scientists refined their previous theory of how animal patterns form and successfully recreated imperfections in natural designs, like irregular spots on a leopard. The new mechanism, described October 27 in Matter, could lead to materials that can respond to their environment, such as fabrics that change color on demand for camouflage.
“Imperfections are everywhere in nature,” said Ankur Gupta, the study’s lead researcher in the ...
Stillbirths in the U.S. higher than previously reported, often occur with no clinical risk factors
2025-10-27
Embargoed for release: Monday, October 27, 2025, 11:00 AM ET
Key points:
Stillbirth burden in the U.S. is higher than previously reported, with over 1 in 150 births ending in stillbirth. The rate is even higher—1 in 112—in low-income areas.
Over 70% of stillbirths occurred in pregnancies with at least one identified clinical risk factor (e.g. chronic hypertension), but a substantial share—especially those occurring at 40+ weeks gestation—had none.
According to the researchers, the findings point to a need to improve ...

A nose for microbes: how hunger tunes the brain
2025-10-27
New research from the Champalimaud Foundation (CF) reveals how missing just one essential amino acid can change gene expression and the brain’s sensory systems, prompting animals to seek out protein-rich yeast and gut bacteria that help them restore nutritional balance and survive in times of need.
Fermented clues
Cheese and chocolate might not tempt a fruit fly’s palate, but to a hungry fly short on nutrients, their smell carries a hidden signal. When deprived of certain amino acids – the building blocks of protein – these tiny insects develop a surprisingly refined ...
TRF1 protein loss reduces body fat and improves metabolic health in mice without shortening telomeres
2025-10-27
“These findings uncover a previously unknown role of TRF1 in regulating metabolism.”
BUFFALO, NY — October 27, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Volume 17, Issue 9 of Aging-US on September 17, 2025, titled “Depletion of the TRF1 telomere-binding protein leads to leaner mice with altered metabolic profiles.”
In this study led by first author Jessica Louzame Ruano and corresponding author Maria A. Blasco from the Spanish National Cancer Centre (CNIO), researchers ...
