AI fares better than doctors at predicting deadly complications after surgery
Johns Hopkins researchers create an artificial intelligence model to mine rich, predictive data from routine ECG tests.
In extensive sequencing study, scientists find few links between cancer and microbiome
Scientists say a study that sequenced human cancers found far less microbial DNA sequences than earlier studies reported in the same cancer tissue samples.
New method advances reliability of AI with applications in medical diagnostics
Hopkins researchers apply the new AI method to early cancer detection from blood samples, known as liquid biopsy.
The disease-fighting promise of mRNA
Three Johns Hopkins experts discuss the potential of mRNA-powered therapeutics to produce lifesaving treatments and cures for a range of diseases, and why federal research cuts risk undermining U.S. scientific leadership in this emerging area.
Research Matters: University labs fuel America’s biotech boom
Biomedical engineer Jean Fan and her team create open-source tools that bridge the gap between academic discoveries and life-saving treatments. Cuts to federal funding threaten to break this critical research and development pipeline.
Johns Hopkins scientists grow novel ‘whole brain’ organoid
The research marks one of the first times scientists have been able to generate an organoid with tissues from each region of the brain connected and acting in concert.
Environment near tumors may hold key information
Johns Hopkins engineers use AI to analyze tissue patterns and gain new insights into why some patients respond better to specific breast cancer treatments.
AI predicts patients likely to die of sudden cardiac arrest
A new AI model is much better than doctors at identifying patients likely to experience cardiac arrest.
Feeling mental exhaustion? These two areas of the brain may control whether people give up or persevere
Two areas of the brain may work in combination to tell the brain when it’s “feeling” tired. The results may provide a way to better evaluate and treat people who experience extreme mental exhaustion.
Research Matters: Research cuts imperil critical insights into the underlying causes of age-related falls
Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among seniors in the United States. Johns Hopkins researcher Kathleen Cullen studies our 'silent sense,' the vestibular system in our inner ear integral to maintaining balance.
Are ‘zombie’ skin cells harmful or helpful? The answer may be in their shapes
Johns Hopkins researchers identified three types of zombie skin cells; only one gets worse with age
There’s a shortage of entomologists. AI can help.
In an evolutionary paradox, one of the world's most ancient predators might meet its match in one of humankind's most modern advances: mosquito vs. artificial intelligence.
Pancreatic cells remember epigenetic precancerous marks without genetic sequence mutations
Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a pattern of so-called epigenetic “marks” in a transition state between normal and pancreatic cancer cells in mice, and that the normal cells may keep at least a temporary “memory” of those cancer-linked marks.
Research Matters: America’s med tech pipeline is fueled by federal support
An NIH-funded partnership between Johns Hopkins and Howard University speeds the development of medical devices addressing neurological disorders that affect more than a billion people.
Research Matters: Epilepsy relief relies on research
With NIH support, biomedical engineer Sri Sarma develops neurotechnologies to improve understanding and treatment of epilepsy.
