A major new initiative aims to enable the development of advanced, specific and highly reproducible human in vitro models for greater understanding of disease and the acceleration of new medicines.
To help repair soft tissue injuries of the gastrointestinal tract like ulcers or hemorrhages, EPFL researchers envision a new class of device: a pill-sized, swallowable bioprinter.
Researchers have developed a tool to quickly quantify changes in the branches of mouse mammary glands. This could one day be used to detect early warning signs of breast cancer.
Using PET/CT imaging, researchers discovered that the biological activity of visceral fat may drive the progression of endometrial cancer, offering a novel angle for diagnosis and treatment.
To tackle the shortage of donor organs, researchers have developed a 3D printer that doesn’t just print implantable tissues, it also sees and even co-designs parts of organs.
Assisted reproductive technologies like IVF are held back by the fact that more than half of all embryos fail to implant into the uterus. Now, new research explores ways to improve these odds.
Men assessed as healthy may still have an early form of prostate cancer. Using AI, researchers found signs that were missed in more than 80% of samples of men who later developed cancer.
An association between specific electrical patterns and structural characteristics of heart scars after a heart attack could offer a new approach for more targeted and effective arrhythmia treatments.
In a new joint research center, scientists from Germany and South Korea aim to develop new technologies at the interface of nanoscience, synthetic cell biology, and neuroscience.
By identifying the unique biological signatures that guide AI tissue classification, new research lays the foundation for smart surgical tools with the added feature of biomolecular-level precision.
Muscle tissue undergoes specific changes in space due to the absence of gravity. Investigating these changes opens opportunities for studying sarcopenia, which takes decades to develop on earth.
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.
A new method to quickly and accurately analyze the structure of collagen in tissue shows promise to improve the diagnostics of cancer and other diseases.
In today’s fast-paced healthcare landscape, efficiency and accuracy are essential in overcoming workload challenges. Pathology laboratories are under pressure to keep up with growing demands, all while ensuring standardised, consistent and high-quality results.
Researchers developed an advanced AI tool for automatic analysis of colorectal cancer tissue slides. The new model outperformed all predecessors in the classification of tissue microscopy samples.
Using a prototype field cycling imager (FCI) scanner to examine breast cancer tissue, scientists distinguish tumour material from healthy tissue with more accuracy than current MRI methods.
Photon counting detectors along with novel algorithms allow for more precise 3D visualization of different tissues and contrast agents by capturing X-rays at multiple energy levels simultaneously.
A new AI-enhanced technique makes breast cancer tissue “glow” on MRI scans. This not only improves breast cancer detection but also can help treat it more effectively, the researchers say.
The shimmering blue wings of a Morpho butterfly are not just beautiful to look at - they can also help make cancer diagnosis faster, more accurate and more accessible, new research finds.
