New findings support low-dose ATG to delay progression of type 1 diabetes

New research presented at this year's Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) in Vienna, Austria (15-19 September) and published simultaneously in The Lancet shows that a much lower dose than previously thought of the old immunomodulatory drug anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) is safe and effective in preventing progression of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in young people.

Study reveals how a little-understood protein contributes to blood vessel leakage

A new study from the University of Oklahoma reveals how a little-understood protein, CD82, contributes to blood vessel leakage, a process that initiates inflammation but becomes dangerous when it occurs during severe inflammatory diseases such as sepsis, acute respiratory distress syndrome and COVID-19.

Study reveals early nicotinamide use reduces risk of aggressive skin cancers

A large U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs cohort study found that Nicotinamide use was associated with a 14% lower risk of new keratinocyte skin cancers, driven by a 22% reduction in cSCC and no reduction in BCC. The strongest benefit (56% lower risk) appeared when nicotinamide was started after a patient’s first skin cancer, with diminishing returns after multiple cancers.

AI model maps lifetime disease risks to transform future healthcare planning

Researchers developed Delphi-2M, a transformer-based AI trained on UK Biobank and Danish health data to predict and simulate lifetime trajectories for 1,256 diseases. It accurately forecasted long-term multimorbidity risks, generated synthetic health records, and highlighted comorbidity patterns while exposing key biases.
