New cell therapy offers effective treatment for patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemiaA new cell therapy, targeting CD7 on leukaemia cells, gives a potentially effective treatment for patients with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (T-ALL) who have exhausted all standard treatment options.
 
 
 AI-driven oculomics assesses HbA1c for cardiovascular risk
 
AI-driven oculomics assesses HbA1c for cardiovascular riskStudy demonstrates the potential of using artificial intelligence in oculomics to assess HbA1c levels from fundus images. By analyzing over 6,000 images, the researchers found that diverse datasets are key to minimizing bias and improving model reliability across different populations.

Indiana University scientists pioneer oculomics research with NIH supportIndiana University scientists with expertise in optometry and artificial intelligence are among the first three groups of researchers to receive support from a new program from the National Institutes of Health supporting the emerging field of "oculomics," which uses the eye as a lens on diseases that affect the whole body.
 
 
 Scientists detect replication-competent Oropouche virus in semen of traveler, sparking transmission fears
 
Scientists detect replication-competent Oropouche virus in semen of traveler, sparking transmission fearsResearchers confirmed the presence of replication-competent Oropouche virus in semen, raising concerns about potential sexual transmission following a traveler's infection.
 
 
 High blood pressure found to increase airway resistance and affect lung function
 
High blood pressure found to increase airway resistance and affect lung functionHigh blood pressure (hypertension) causes thickening of the blood vessels and hardening of the arteries (arteriosclerosis). A study conducted by Brazilian researchers has shown for the first time that a similar phenomenon occurs in the lungs. High blood pressure hardens the bronchi and increases airway resistance, impairing respiratory capacity.

New study reveals declining nutrient intake among U.S. women of reproductive ageResearchers compare trends in nutrient consumption from dietary sources and supplements in pregnant and non-pregnant women in the United States.
 
 
 Advances in technology shed light on cell function
 
Advances in technology shed light on cell functionCells are the basic units of life — but when it comes to cells, if you think basic means simple, think again. Cells are complicated, with many millions of biochemical reactions per second seething within their confines. They also tend to be tiny, so it’s not easy to spy on their operations.
 
 
 COVID-19 found to increase heart attack and stroke risks
 
COVID-19 found to increase heart attack and stroke risksAn analysis of data in the UK Biobank has found that COVID-19 infection may increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and death from any cause for up to three years for people with and without cardiovascular disease, according to new research published today in the American Heart Association's peer-reviewed journal Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology (ATVB).
 
 
 COVID-19 survivors at greater risk for heart attack, stroke and death
 
COVID-19 survivors at greater risk for heart attack, stroke and deathA history of COVID-19 can double the risk of heart attack, stroke or death according to new research led by Cleveland Clinic and the University of Southern California.
