Using Fitbits and a novel machine learning model, a multi-institutional team led by Washington University’s Chenyang Lu is ushering in the next step in personalization for treatment of depression.

New research led by Kiersten Ruff, a senior research scientist in the lab of Rohit Pappu at the McKelvey School of Engineering, has uncovered the rules that govern how unfolded proteins are identified — and found that exceptions to the rules may play a role in dysfunctional cells.

Research from Ryan Bogdan’s BRAIN Lab in Arts & Sciences finds signs of psychopathology persist into mid-adolescence in kids exposed to cannabis in the womb.

To develop guidelines to evaluate artificial intelligence (AI) in nuclear-medicine imaging, an interdisciplinary team established by Richard L. Wahl, MD, director of Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) and led by Abhinav Jha, assistant professor at the McKelvey School of Engineering, published Recommendations for Evaluation of AI for Nuclear Medicine in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.

While water pressure has been restored in Jackson, Miss., the water is still not safe to drink and a boil order remains in effect. The ongoing issues are a result of years of neglect and of environmental racism, says Tara Rocque at the School of Law.
