Researchers evaluated the clinical value of using ChatGPT to interpret seizure semiology in order to predict which brain areas to remove to achieve seizure freedom in epilepsy patients.
Researchers used state-of-the-art 3D bioprinting to replicate the complex structure and environment of spinal discs. Their insights hold promise for understanding back pain and disc degeneration.
A team of scientists has developed a method for 3D printing polymers at specific locations deep within living animals.
The rise of pathogenic fungi is a real concern and is being driven by climate change. A new study predicts significant spread of certain fungal pathogens in Europe fuelled by rising temperatures.
Researchers from Université Laval discovered that the retina of people with Parkinson's disease responds differently to light than that of healthy people. This offers new diagnostic options.
Pupil dilation and involuntary facial movements could provide a window into diagnosing tinnitus. A new method uses AI to detect minuscule reactions to various sounds and noises.
Discovering knowledge about side effects needs to be faster and better. In her oration, Prof. Dr. Agnes Kant, Professor by special appointment of Innovation of Pharmacovigilance, calls for more research on side effects. She also pleads for a fund for independent research on side effects.
A new approach enables the detection of even trace amounts of cancer cells. The method leverages SERS for signal amplification, eliminating the need for fluorescent dyes.
The incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults has doubled over the last 20 years, with no known reason. Now, a new study links this mysterious trend to childhood exposure to a bacterial toxin.
Unprecedented insights into the inner workings of an early-stage lung tumor: An international research team describes a new method for 3D mapping cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment.
A newly discovered type of cells counteract tumor development and may therefore be a target for research into new treatments for pancreatic cancer, which is one of the deadliest forms of cancer.
Dr Ari Melnick has been appointed the new Director of the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute by the Board of Trustees. The institute specialises in biomedical research and precision medicine in the field of leukaemia and other hematologic malignancies.
Pancreatic cysts (IPMNs) are seen as a precursor of pancreatic cancer. However, not all patients need to undergo surgery. A recent study may help patients with IPMNs to avoid unnecessary surgery.
A new study suggests that gold nanoparticles — thousands of times thinner than a human hair — might one day help restore vision in people with macular degeneration and other retinal disorders.
Researchers developed biomimetic materials inspired by lymph nodes, which could improve cancer immunotherapy. The study highlights the potential of bioengineered scaffolds for cell-based therapies.
Researchers have developed an AI tool that creates synthetic yet medically accurate models of fibrotic heart tissue (heart scarring), aiding treatment planning for atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.
In an NICU, it is critically important to accurately assess a baby's pain level. A new review finds that none of the current clinical rating scales are backed by evidence in terms of validity and reliability.
Researchers have succeeded in mapping how blood vessels in the brain react after a stroke. This new insight can lead to more effective treatment and fewer complications for patients.
A new study found that a significant proportion of Parkinson's disease diagnoses are later corrected. The results demonstrate the need for improved diagnostic processes.
A new device for people with or without medical training could be used as an easier, more forgiving alternative to stethoscopes to accurately detect valvular heart disease (VHD).
RNA researcher Anastasia Khvorova, PhD, professor of RNA therapeutics at UMass Chan Medical School, will receive this year's Else Kröner Fresenius Prize for Medical Research on May 15, 2025. The award ceremony will be a part of the festive event together with the Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA celebrating the 100th birthday of Else Kröner, at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main.
The new national Precision Omics Initiative Sweden (PROMISE) aims to generate and integrate extensive molecular data to create a model for precision medicine implementation for Sweden.
An international research team has developed an intelligent device capable of monitoring the skin continuously and accurately detect temperature variations associated with inflammation and infection.
Soccer is not only a fun and popular sport, but can also help prevent many lifestyle-related conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, obesity, several cancers, and mental health challenges.
New research has revealed how Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) also profoundly affects the brain, leading to cognitive and behavioural challenges that are very diverse and some could be reversible.
