USF launches what’s believed to be the world’s first university-based undergraduate concentration in health care simulation operations, preparing students for a rapidly growing, high-impact field.

A study led by researchers from the University of Michigan showed that targeting CDK12 and a related gene, CDK13, strongly activates the stimulator of interferon genes, or STING, signaling pathway, enhancing the effectiveness of immunotherapies.

An AI model was developed to predict adverse drug reactions based solely on chemical structure. The system could potentially support early-stage drug safety assessment before clinical trials. The study is published in the open-access journal Pharmacia.

Researchers from Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich (TUM), and the Medical University of Vienna have developed an advanced imaging technique called "O2E" that allows clinics to detect cancerous lesions in the esophagus with unprecedented precision. Published in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the study demonstrates that this innovative endoscopy technology reveals even the smallest pathological tissue changes, significantly improving early detection and diagnosis.
