A new study finds that the integrated care model may offer benefits for adults with developmental disabilities. Study researchers from the University of Cincinnati and Ohio State University found that adults with developmental disabilities who receive integrated psychiatric and primary care have lower rates of emergency department visits and hospitalizations compared to traditional care models.

Dr. Elizabeth Kim, a research associate in anesthesiology at Weill Cornell Medicine, has received a 2026 Tri-Institutional Breakout Award for Junior Investigators.

Damage to DNA in cancer cells can lead to pieces breaking off chromosomes and floating away, like icebergs cracking off from a glacier. Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute and their colleagues published findings May 28, 2026, in Genome Medicine demonstrating significant similarities between samples of tumors featuring these stranded DNA fragments and research models developed using these tumor samples. This close match provides scientists with greater confidence in using these models to learn how to better diagnose and treat cancers with these splintered spots of DNA.

This study systematically investigates how chronological age, clinical facial aging features, and perceived age are related in Chinese women aged 15–65 years. By combining expert grading, standardized facial photography, and non-expert age perception assessment, the authors establish a practical method for evaluating perceived age. The findings show that perceived age tends to be slightly older than chronological age and is strongly associated with visible aging features, especially nasolabial folds, marionette folds, facial contour laxity, uneven skin tone, and reduced radiance. This work provides a consumer-relevant tool for anti-aging product evaluation and targeted skincare development.
