New research has found that a genetic factor best known for increasing the risk of Alzheimer's disease, may also influence how pathological changes spread in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
A new study proposes a new antiviral strategy against SARS-CoV-2 based on a treatment that combines two complementary approaches, capable of attacking the virus simultaneously.
New research reveals that testosterone slows glioblastoma growth—the opposite of the androgen’s effect on tumors outside the brain.
Microbiological cleanliness in laboratories demands far more than routine disinfection – it requires a comprehensive contamination control strategy from the very first design stage. At the Labs Expo trade fair in Poznań, Poland, industry experts Jerzy Kustra and Piotr Caban outlined the most common mistakes organisations make and how to avoid them.
Now, a new study identified a gene therapy for individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) caused by a specific mutation and for whom there was no treatment available until now.
Researchers have developed an electrochemical sensor that can detect pancreatic cancer in its early stages. The device offers a simpler, more affordable alternative to conventional tests, which are less accessible.
The incidence of colorectal cancer is rising among younger individuals, sometimes as early as their thirties. The research also shows the challenge of late diagnoses and calls for increased awareness.
A new analytical method could improve how cancer treatments are designed – by allowing scientists to track, for the first time, exactly where inside a living cell a drug accumulates.
A research team is leading the development of a sensor that paves the way for the rapid, selective and cost-effective detection of active tuberculosis infection.
Repeated menstrual cycles may do more than trigger endometriosis – they may rewire the brain, a new study finds. Recurring inflammation can sensitize the nervous system, driving lasting pain.
Why does the same genetic mutation cause FCDII in some patients but not in others? Researchers developed organoids to model a brain malformation responsible for drug-resistant epilepsy in children.
A multidisciplinary team of pathologists, oncologists and biologists has discovered a new biomarker to determine whether immunotherapy may work in people with colon and rectal cancer.
Tick‑borne encephalitis is one of the most dangerous viral diseases spread in Europe. Researchers have discovered how the viruses replicate inside cells, paving the way for future treatments.
Scientists from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and colleagues create the first-ever immune-capable “Cervix-on-a-chip” to study sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Researchers have developed an AI model showing that it is possible to detect different neurodegenerative diseases - for example, Alzheimer’s and Lewy body disease - from a single blood sample.
A tick's saliva keeps blood flowing, disarms the immune system, and smuggles in pathogens. Scientists have just found out how to disrupt this process and prevent infection.
Patient-derived organoids (PDOs), or tumoroids, for pediatric brain cancer show promise in helping researchers find new drugs and better understand the different responses of the tumor.
Digital spatial profiling (DSP) is emerging as a powerful technology in helping specialists investigate complex kidney disease, according to a leading expert. Professor Renate Kain believes spatial profiling adds significantly to systems biology approaches that will transform diagnostic histopathology. However, she warns that the adoption and effective utilization of the technique is critically…
Earlier detection, better outcomes: A new blood test for bowel cancer screening is designed to transform cancer outcomes by moving away from invasive or unpleasant methods.
A biomarker discovered in the cerebrospinal fluid could improve diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies.
New treatments for neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and motor neurone disease (MND) could be unlocked thanks to microscopic medicines called intrabodies.
Severe infections could increase the risk of developing dementia years later, independently of other coexisting illnesses, a new study from Finland suggests.
A new X-ray imaging technique could transform how hospitals analyse tissue samples, potentially speeding up diagnoses and improving outcomes for patients, a new study shows.
Sakura Finetek and Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. have announced a collaboration aimed at standardising slide preparation and digitisation to support diagnostic accuracy in pathology.
Bacterial infections can be difficult to distinguish from viral infections and inflammation, but a simple breath test may change that. This could reduce unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions.
