A new study shows that a simple blood test can flag the risk of Alzheimer’s long before any brain scan or symptoms appear. The test measures a specific form of tau protein called pTau217 in the blood, which has been linked to the toxic tangles that form inside Alzheimer’s brains. Researchers followe
Large vision‑language models are getting smarter, but they can still favor certain groups. Researchers noticed that the tools used to spot these biases were limited in size and scope. To fill that gap, a new test set called VLBiasBench was created. The benchmark covers nine common bias them
Thirty years ago, a law changed how Native communities handle their own housing needs. Instead of waiting for distant agencies to decide what to build, tribes gained control over planning, budgets, and priorities. That shift led to more homes, quicker repairs, and local jobs. But progress didn’t sol
Lung cancer remains one of the toughest cancers to catch early, but scientists might have found a clever way to spot it before symptoms even show. Instead of waiting for tumors to form, they’re focusing on tiny molecules called miRNA-21, which appear in the blood early when lung cancer starts. The c
People living in areas that stay poor for years see more cancer deaths. Researchers looked at electronic health records to find out why. They focused on people who survived cancer and still live in these tough neighborhoods. The study found that the same social problems—like not enough good f
Over 200, 000 people including actors, doctors, and artists have signed a letter demanding the shutdown of a Texas facility holding migrant children. The Dilley center has faced sharp criticism for its treatment of kids, with reports of dirty water, spoiled food, and medical neglect. Many argue thes
The Orioles land back in Baltimore after beating Chicago and now host San Francisco for three games at Camden Yards. Taylor Ward made it look easy again, going four-for-five with two runs batted in and the game-winning run crossing home plate. Baltimore’s pitching staff, led by Kyle Bradish, kept th
A growing number of actors and artists are speaking out against a Texas facility that holds migrant children and families. Over 215, 000 people—including stars like Jodie Foster, Ben Stiller, and Ava DuVernay—have signed a petition demanding its closure. The facility, run by CoreCivic, has faced har
Scientists have developed a blood test that might flag multiple cancers and other illnesses early, without breaking the bank. Instead of searching for specific disease markers, this test looks at tiny chemical tags on DNA, called methyl groups, that float around in your bloodstream. These tags act l
A sad funeral drew many people on Saturday for a 19‑year‑old Mexican man who died in an ICE detention center. The family says the charges that led to his arrest were made up. The man, named Royer Perez Jimenez, came from San Juan Chamula in Chiapas. He left Mexico at 15 to try for a better life and
