Acute Abdominal Imaging Queues Should Not Be Strictly First Come, First Served: AbdomenNet Uses Non-Contrast CT to Help Identify Emergencies

The self-supervised model maintained strong identification performance across three external hospital cohorts and helped radiologists interpret scans faster and more accurately; however, the 37-minute reduction in reporting time still comes from a retrospective simulation and has not yet been shown to improve real-world patient outcomes.

Off-the-Shelf Liver Cell Therapy Cleared for Human Trials, Targeting Hyperammonemia Crisis in Newborns

Satellite Bio’s SB-101 has received clearance from the U.S. FDA to begin clinical testing. The company plans to use healthy liver cells that can be prepared in advance and cryopreserved to restore metabolic function in infants with severe early-onset urea cycle disorders; however, efficacy, safety, and whether the cells can continue functioning must still be answered by the first-in-human study.

Bridge RNA Reveals the “One-Way Street” of DNA Insertion: IS621 Structures Point to Programmable Large-Fragment Editing

Using cryo-electron microscopy and biochemical experiments, researchers dissected the bacterial IS621 recombination system and found that DNA conformation and RNA pairing jointly suppress excision reactions. Rewriting the bridge RNA substantially weakened this natural barrier, but reliable editing in human cells remains some way off.
