Mapping a new brain network for naming
NYU Tandon School of Engineering

NYU researchers identified two brain networks involved in word retrieval—the cognitive process of accessing words we need to speak. A semantic network processes meaning in middle/inferior frontal gyri, while an articulatory network in inferior frontal/precentral gyri plans speech production.

Dual Functions of PME-1 Protein Critical for Brain Development and Disease Treatment
Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB)

A study in The FASEB Journal reveals PME-1 protein regulates tumor suppressor PP2A through two distinct mechanisms: methyl group removal and direct binding. Using genetically modified mice, researchers found each function affects different developmental aspects—demethylation impacts brain development while binding affects olfaction. These findings could lead to targeted treatments for Alzheimer's disease and cancer by fine-tuning PP2A activity.

Newswise: Artificial intelligence-based diagnosis of breast cancer by mammography microcalcification

Artificial intelligence-based diagnosis of breast cancer by mammography microcalcification
Chinese Academy of Sciences

This study introduces a deep-learning system for rapid, automated detection and classification of tiny calcium deposits (microcalcifications) in mammograms to aid early breast cancer diagnosis. Leveraging a multi-center dataset of 4,810 biopsy-confirmed mammograms, our pipeline uses a Faster RCNN model with a feature-pyramid backbone to detect and classify microcalcifications—the pipeline requires no hand-tuned rules and provides both the overall cancer risk and highlighted lesion regions in seconds per image. On unseen test data, it achieved overall classification accuracy of 72% for discriminating between benign and malignant breasts and 78% sensitivity of malignant breast cancer prediction, marking a significant step toward AI-assisted, cost-effective breast-cancer screening that can run on standard radiology workstations.
