A study of 140,000 people suggests that a broadening of the diagnostic criteria for autism and ADHD explains the sharp rise in diagnoses, but that doesn't mean too many people are being told they are autistic or have ADHD

Donor bone marrow combined with recipient regulatory T cells induces chimerism and immunomodulation without irradiation in kidney transplantation.

Integrated clinical, multiomic, and single-cell analyses reveal Rb inactivation as a driver of squamous transformation in EGFR-mutant lung cancer.

Hypothermia induced by chlorpromazine and promethazine is cerebroprotective in animal models and safe in patients with ischemic stroke.

Incorporation of enzyme domains that initiate complement activation on target surfaces improves the utility of pathogen-targeting antibodies.

Plasma proteomics improves thrombosis prediction in cancer and uncovers a targetable CD200R1/IL-17–driven endothelial activation pathway in mice.
