Why do some cancer cells develop treatment resistance? The answer may lie in hidden “storage hubs” inside tumour cells, which create uneven drug exposure across tumours, according to new research.
About 50% of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients develop resistance to therapy, significantly reducing the chances of survival. Researchers found there is more than one way this can happen.
Although tumours may at first shrink under therapy, they often regrow or even become resistant. A new study suggests switching to a second treatment while the tumour is still responding to the first.
Even after a blood clot is removed from a large brain artery via thrombectomy, administering the thrombolytic drug alteplase to the area may improve stroke recovery, a new trial from Spain shows.
A new European study suggests that PFA may offer hospitals a way to treat atrial fibrillation more efficiently – with shorter procedures and lower costs than established methods.
Should younger and older people receive different treatments for the same infection? New research suggests that age-specific treatments may be necessary in ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis.
Immunotherapy has been hailed as a breakthrough in cancer treatment. But new research reveals: under sustained treatment pressure, cancer does not simply weaken — it adapts, learns, and fights back.
Gene-editing technologies show great promise for medical treatments and research, with the potential to cure thousands of genetic diseases. At the 2025 World Medical Innovation Forum in Boston, leading experts explored the possibilities and challenges of these rapidly advancing tools. The case of Baby KJ Muldoon – an infant treated with a personalised CRISPR therapy developed in just seven…
Researchers have developed a prototype injectable paste that could help restore breast volume after tumor removal, with less scarring and shorter healing time than current options.
Mobile Stroke Units, equipped with a CT scanner, point-of-care laboratory, and communications capabilities, could reduce unnecessary emergency department transfers by 86%, a new study finds.
Researchers have discovered that low physical activity is associated with a higher risk of lymphedema. They have also noted that a lymph scanner objectively measures changes in the condition.
Cardiovascular disease and depression do not co-occur by chance; the TO_AITION project aims to enable earlier diagnosis of comorbidity, better risk prediction and personalised treatment strategies.
After T-cell redirecting therapies, patients are typically hospitalized for several days to watch for side effects. New research shows that these patients can safely be monitored at home.
New immunotherapies are effective against skin cancer, but they can cause serious side effects. New insights suggest that a lower dosage may lead to better outcomes and longer survival.
A European consortium has developed a new decision making framework for health professionals which they hope will transform the care of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
NaoTrac is a fully autonomous surgical navigation robot designed to enhance precision, safety, and efficiency in neurosurgery. By integrating advanced technologies with the expertise of surgeons, NaoTrac streamlines surgical workflows, shortens the learning curve, and improves patient outcomes.
Bioptron Hyperlight Therapy is a certified medical device that uses a patented form of polarized, polychromatic, non-coherent light. The therapy works by delivering specific light characteristics, which stimulate local blood microcirculation, enhance cellular regenerative process, decrease pain and stimulate immune system. This non-invasive and painless photobiomodulation method is clinically…
New hope for patients with neurological diseases: A combination of focused ultrasound and gene therapy enables targeted, nonsurgical control of seizure-relevant brain regions.
Most patients with metastatic colorectal cancer do not respond to immunotherapy—but why? A new study shows how the tumours block the immune system through two complementary mechanisms.
