Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) can be difficult to treat once it develops, making prevention especially important.

In a retrospective study, a Hiroshima University researcher found that quantitative measurements extracted from pretreatment CT scans could be analyzed with machine learning to distinguish patients who later developed the condition—an early step toward predicting MRONJ risk before bone resorption inhibitor therapy begins.

A Hiroshima University study found that pretreatment CT images may contain measurable clues to the risk of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw.

Not every allergy antibody poses the same risk. A Hiroshima University-led research team has developed a more sensitive version of an allergy blood test designed to better detect functional allergen-specific IgE antibodies—the antibodies capable of triggering the immune processes behind allergic reactions.

Using genome editing, researchers transformed red perilla into a green look-alike and simultaneously restructured the plant’s chemistry to boost levels of compounds prized for their potential health benefits. More: https://www.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/en/news/98782

Access the paper here: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/plant-science/articles/10.3389/fpls.2026.1877946/full

Researchers used CRISPR-Cas9 to edit a single gene in red perilla, turning its leaves green and boosting levels of health-promoting compounds. The edited plants accumulated about six times more luteolin and increased rosmarinic acid, demonstrating a strategy for developing high-value perilla for foo...

An international team led by researchers at Hiroshima University and WPI-SKCM2, Hiroshima University has found a way to detect early signs of skin aging, revealing that collagen’s hidden internal structure begins to unravel before the fibers themselves break apart. More: https://www.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/en/news/98717

Access the paper here: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsnano.6c06602

Scientists have found a way to spot early signs of skin aging, discovering that collagen's hidden internal structure begins to unravel before the fibers themselves break apart.
