AI-powered liquid biopsy can classify pediatric brain tumors with 92% accuracy
Liquid biopsies, which test body fluids that contain cancerous material, including circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), are a noninvasive way to learn about a cancer’s biology.

To ensure success, consumers’ nutrition literacy levels should factor into FDA’s new front-of-package labeling
As the FDA moves to finalize a rule requiring front-of-package (FOP) nutrition labels on most packaged foods and beverages in the US, new research suggests that while the proposed “Nutrition Info Box,” showing levels of saturated fat, sodium, and added sugar, was found to work best for consumers who had higher nutrition literacy, it may… Read More
Researchers demonstrate breakthroughs in cancer treatment quality through AI-enhanced data analytics
Cancer researchers at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center have published three new studies demonstrating how advanced artificial intelligence and population health analytics can identify and address barriers to quality cancer care.
Gut fungi in very-low-birthweight infants modulate oxygen-induced lung damage, study finds
Extremely preterm newborns who weigh less than 3.3 pounds have immature lungs that often require high levels of ventilation oxygen in the hospital.
3D mouse brain atlas promises to accelerate studies of neurological disorders
A new “atlas” developed by researchers at Duke University School of Medicine, University of Tennessee Health Science Center, and the University of Pittsburgh will increase precision in measuring changes in brain structure and make it easier to share results for scientists working to understand neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Doctors develop minimally invasive procedure to avoid drilling a ‘burr hole’ in the skull to treat clot on the brain
Writing in the Journal of NeuroInterventional Surgery, Fiorella and co-author Dr. Adam S. Arthur of the University of Tennessee, emphasized that MMAE “could fundamentally change the treatment paradigm for chronic subdural hematoma, establishing MMAE as a superior alternative therapy.”
Research team uses AI to improve sepsis detection and effective treatment
Sepsis acquired in clinical settings threatens the lives of tens of millions of people worldwide every year. The condition, in which the body responds to an infection by essentially going into overdrive, inadvertently attacks the body by overzealously releasing chemicals to defend it.
Brain images just got 64 million times sharper
In a decades-long technical tour de force lead by Duke’s Center for In Vivo Microscopy with colleagues at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh and Indiana University, researchers took up the gauntlet and improved the resolution of MRI leading to the sharpest images ever captured of a mouse brain.
