UC Davis Health Offering FDA-Approved Test That Can Diagnose Early-Stage Alzheimer's Disease
UC Davis Health

UC Davis Health is now offering an FDA-approved test that can predict Alzheimer's disease before the onset of major symptoms. A negative test can rule out Alzheimer's disease with 96.2% accuracy. A positive test can allow patients to receive a diagnosis and potentially access new drugs to slow the disease's progression while in a very early stage.

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.

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.
