Study reveals significant gaps in MMR vaccine knowledge among ER patients
Measles remains one of the most contagious infectious diseases, spread through coughing and sneezing, with even small declines in vaccination coverage leading to outbreaks. As of 2026, California has reported its highest annual measles case count in seven years. In response to this growing concern, researchers have begun examining gaps in measles-related knowledge and vaccination coverage.

Global proteomics data sharing grows fast as ProteomeXchange scales up
ProteomeXchange’s 2026 update shows that global proteomics data sharing continues to accelerate, with more than 64,000 datasets submitted and nearly half added in just the last three years. The paper also highlights how standards, reuse tools, and AI-ready resources are helping make mass spectrometry proteomics data more findable, accessible, and reusable.

Teen cannabis use linked to slower growth in memory and thinking
Researchers from University of California San Diego have found that teenagers who begin using cannabis show slower gains in thinking and memory skills as they grow. The study, published on April 20, 2026 in Neuropsychopharmacology, analyzed data from more than 11,000 participants in the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study, the largest long-term study of brain development in U.S. youth.

Microbes in the digestive tract help tailor treatment for melanoma patients
The specific mix of bacteria living in a person's gut can predict the chances that melanoma will recur after surgery and immunotherapy, which helps immune cells target cancer cells. This is according to a new study led by researchers from NYU Langone Health and its Perlmutter Cancer Center.

Research shows AI discourages social interaction for autistic users
When people ask ChatGPT and other AI models for advice, they often share deeply personal details in hopes of getting better answers: their age, their gender, their mental health history, even medical diagnoses like autism.

New study reveals CRISPR enzyme that responds to human DNA methylation
Cancer cells excel at evading detection, but subtle chemical differences set them apart from healthy cells. Now, a team of scientists from Wageningen University & Research and Van Andel Institute has identified a way to exploit this distinction. Using a variant of CRISPR, a modern tool for editing DNA, they distinguished tumor DNA from healthy DNA and selectively cut only the former. The study, published today in Nature, is an early but promising step toward a cancer therapy that targets and destroys tumor cells with high precision.

Why clinical proteomics faces a mass spectrometry vs. high-throughput profiling dilemma
This Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine review examines a central challenge in precision medicine: whether medical laboratories should prioritize metrologically sound, proteoform-resolving protein quantification by mass spectrometry or adopt scalable, affinity-based proteome profiling platforms built for high-throughput discovery and machine learning. It concludes that while emerging proteomics technologies expand diagnostic possibilities, careful validation, standardization, and quality assurance will be essential, with a hybrid path likely offering the most practical way forward.
