AI tool estimates biological age from photos to predict cancer outcomes
The Mass General Brigham research team behind FaceAge, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can estimate a person's biological age from a single photo, is reporting in a new study that estimating biological age from multiple photos taken over time can provide even more information about how well a person with cancer will do with treatment.

New scientific statement defines brain health across life
Brain health isn't determined only by genetics or what happens later in life. A growing body of research shows that a range of factors-from mental health and sleep to environment, lifestyle and social conditions-play a powerful role in shaping how the brain functions and ages.

New light-based technique reveals the inner workings of cells
Human cells adjust to ever-changing conditions while preserving internal states necessary for survival, but exactly how they achieve both adaptability and stability remains unclear. For the first time, researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, used a light-based technique called Raman spectroscopy to create snapshots of the entire protein landscape inside an E. coli cell in a nondestructive manner.
