With a $50 million gift from Richard and Susan Rogel, the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center aims to revolutionize how the world detects, treats and ultimately cures pancreatic cancer. The gift will create the Rogel and Blondy Center for Pancreatic Cancer and will provide support for clinical care and translational research, playing to the strengths of the Rogel Cancer Center’s current robust team of 60 doctors and scientists from 10 departments already working in this area.
A new method developed by University of Michigan researchers creates images that are worth many gigabytes of data, which could revolutionize the way biologists study gene expression.
Sleep apnea, a common yet underdiagnosed sleep disorder, contributes to the development of dementia among adults — particularly women, a Michigan Medicine study suggests. At every age level, women with known or suspected sleep apnea were more likely than men to be diagnosed with dementia.

Protein bars, shakes and powders are increasingly popular among adults – but many teens may be jumping on the bandwagon too.
Researchers at Michigan Medicine have developed a composite hydrogel capable of achieving sustained, steady drug release using ultrasound as a trigger.
In a study of commonly used treatments for multiple sclerosis, both medical and behavioral interventions, and a combination of the two, resulted in significant improvements in fatigue. Researchers say the findings could shape treatment approaches to one of the most challenging symptoms experienced by people with multiple sclerosis.
Despite having no greater chance of developing problems after high risk cardiovascular surgery, women are more likely than men to die from postoperative complications, a University of Michigan-led study suggests. The quality of a hospital where the procedure was performed did not affect the disparity between sexes. Researchers say the "failure to rescue" is an issue for the entire United States health care system.
A new poll shows 74% of older adults would not trust online health information if it were generated by artificial intelligence, and that 20% have little or no confidence they could spot health misinformation if they came across it on the internet.
