	Study links ultra-processed food intake to poorer thigh muscle quality A Radiology study of 615 adults at risk for knee osteoarthritis found that higher ultra-processed food intake was associated with greater fat infiltration in thigh muscles on MRI, a marker of poorer muscle quality. The association remained after adjustment for BMI, was stronger in models using abdominal circumference, and did not differ significantly by sex.

	Microplastics found in human bile may be associated with gallstones Findings show microplastics in bile may trigger cellular senescence, suggesting a link to gallstone disease and highlighting the need for further research.

			Study reveals brain mechanisms behind post-stroke urinary incontinence A new USC-led study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) reveals the neural mechanisms that contribute to urinary incontinence, a common condition affecting stroke survivors that has a significant impact on their quality of life.

			Alzheimer's risk gene APOE4 impacts bone health in females Scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, along with collaborators at UC San Francisco, have discovered that APOE4, the most common genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, causes bone quality deficits specifically in female mice, through a mechanism that is invisible to standard imaging and can emerge as early as midlife.

			Nanomedicine offers targeted solutions for breast cancer treatment Breast cancer (BCA) is one of the most common cancers worldwide, with high mortality and morbidity in women.

	Prostate cancer patients recover faster with TULSA than robotic surgery A new randomized clinical trial found that men with localized, intermediate‑risk prostate cancer recovered faster and experienced less short‑term impact on their daily lives when treated with MRI‑guided, transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) compared with robotic prostate surgery.

	The tumor microenvironment and cancer therapy Understanding the cancer ecosystem reveals tumor microenvironment interactions, offering new insights for precision oncology and immunotherapy advancements.

	Threat-response in the brain's amygdala linked to sex-specific patterns of alcohol use New research shows that the threat-response in the brain's amygdala (which processes emotions) is linked to different patterns of drinking by sex.

	Functional ultrasound (fUS) vs. focused ultrasound (FUS) for brain activity mapping The key differences between focused and functional ultrasound explained.

	Whole-brain mapping and connectomics: Tracing the wiring of the mind Connectomics integrates advanced neuroimaging techniques to map brain connectivity, revealing insights into cognition and neurodegenerative diseases.

	Allied Vision Cameras unlock research that could transform how cancer patients receive radiotherapy Allied Vision today announced that its exo183CGE CMOS camera served as the core imaging hardware in a peer-reviewed study on upright radiotherapy patient positioning, a medically critical discipline where millimeter-scale errors can carry clinical consequences.

	Stanford researchers create noninvasive way to deliver light deep inside the body Light has an increasing number of applications in biology and medicine – it can be used to stimulate cell growth, manipulate neural signals, and treat some cancers – but it doesn't easily pass through tissue.

	Wireless ureteral stent sleeve enables early detection of hydronephrosis Ureteral stents are widely used to relieve obstruction and protect kidney function, but they can also become blocked, triggering hydronephrosis and prolonged elevation of intrarenal pressure that may impair renal function.

	Dynamic AI models detect body tipping points to forecast disease before symptoms The editorial, "Dynamics-driven medical big data mining: dynamic approaches to early disease forecasting and individualized care," published in Intelligent Medicine (February 2026, Volume 6, Issue 1), was written by Lu Wang (Tianjin Medical University), Han Lyu (Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University), and Bin Sheng (Shanghai Jiao Tong University).

	Minimally-invasive stenting effectively treats painful post-thrombotic syndrome A major multi-site clinical trial co-led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has shown that post-thrombotic syndrome - a common and often painful complication suffered by many people who have experienced blockages of major veins due to blood clots - can be effectively treated with a minimally invasive procedure.
