About The Study: Evidence is insufficient for the use of cannabis or cannabinoids for most medical indications. Clear guidance from clinicians is essential to support safe, evidence-based decision-making. Clinicians should weigh benefits against risks when engaging patients in informed discussions about cannabis or cannabinoid use.

PRINCETON, NJ — Artificial intelligence may write award-winning essays and diagnose disease with remarkable accuracy, but biological brains still hold the upper hand in at least one crucial domain: flexibility.
Humans, for example, can quickly adapt to new information and unfamiliar challenges with relative ease — learning new computer software, following a recipe, or picking up a new game — while AI systems struggle to learn ‘on the fly’.
In a new study, Princeton neuroscientists uncover one reason for the brain’s advantage over AI: it reuses the same cognitive “blocks” across many ...

Protein kinases are the molecular switches of the cell. They control growth, division, communication, and survival by attaching phosphate groups to other proteins. When these switches are stuck in the “on” position, they can drive cancer and other diseases. Not surprisingly, kinases have become one of the most important drug target families in modern medicine: today, more than 80 kinase inhibitors are FDA-approved, and nearly twice as many are in clinical development.
These drugs were designed to block enzymatic activity. But a new study led by CeMM, the Research Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Vienna), the AITHYRA ...

In spaces smaller than a wavelength of light, electric currents jump from point to point and magnetic fields corkscrew through atomic lattices in ways that defy intuition. Scientists have only ever dreamed of observing these marvels directly.
Now Princeton researchers have developed a diamond-based quantum sensor that reveals rich new information about magnetic phenomena at this minute scale. The technique uncovers fluctuations that are beyond the reach of existing instruments and provides key insight into materials such as graphene and superconductors. Superconductors have enabled today’s most advanced medical imaging tools and form the basis of hoped-for technologies like lossless ...

About The Study: The monetary consequences of National Cancer Institute recissions is substantial despite the limited relevance of cancer research to ideological controversies. Disrupted grants affected most states and many public and private institutions. Many grant terminations affected research trainees and junior faculty, suggesting that these terminations not only interrupted the continuity of research studies, but also jeopardized career trajectories of early-stage investigators, with potential downstream consequences on the research workforce and innovation pipeline.

About The Study: The results of this cohort study suggest an association between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) use and chronic cough. Further research is needed to confirm the existence, strength, and mechanisms of this association.

If watching Robert De Niro ordering hammer-based retribution on a cheat’s hand in Casino instinctively made you wince, you are not alone. Many people say that seeing bodily injury on film makes them flinch, as if they ‘feel’ it themselves. It is as if the sting leaps straight off the screen and into your skin.
But explaining why and how this happens has puzzled scientists for a long time. Now, scientists from the University of Reading, Free University Amsterdam, and Minnesota, USA, have uncovered a major clue as ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, in collaboration with Data Science Alliance, a nonprofit promoting the importance of a responsible science environment, led a study showing that hospitals could save millions of dollars and significantly reduce surgical waste by rethinking supply lists used to prepare operating rooms, without compromising patient safety.
The study, published in the November 26, 2025, online edition of JAMA Surgery, found that preference cards — hospital checklists of tools and supplies for surgeries — often ...

Across the globe, soil compaction is becoming an ever more serious challenge. Heavy vehicles and machinery in modern agriculture compress the soil to such an extent that crops struggle to grow. In many regions, the problem is aggravated by drought linked to climate change.
But plants may in fact be able to solve part of the problem themselves – with a little help from us. It is already known that when soil becomes dense and difficult to penetrate, plants can respond by thickening their roots. Until now, however, it has remained unclear how they manage this, beyond the fact that the plant hormone ethylene plays a key role.
Researchers from the University ...
