Rethinking ultrasound gel: To reduce patient discomfort during sonography exams, researchers from Japan propose a natural, reusable solid pad for clearer, more comfortable imaging.
Scientists have shown that a type of laser similar to the one currently used in routine eye surgery could one day help surgeons remove unwanted tissues, such as tumours, with unprecedented accuracy.
Brain fog explained: People with ME/CFS and long Covid experience a disruption to their brain connectivity during a mentally demanding task, new research finds.
A new type of lab-grown organoid that mimics the behaviour of a human stomach could boost the understanding of rare gastric diseases, researchers say.
Chemotherapy does more than kill cancer cells: It reshapes the gut microbiome, making the body less permissive to metastasis. This finding opens new avenues for adjuvant strategies.
Researchers have discovered that amyloid-β deposits - similar to those found in Alzheimer’s disease - may contribute to the development of preeclampsia during pregnancy.
Non-invasive, millimetre-scale diffusion MRI (dMRI) can be used to detect morphological changes in axons – a common hallmark of a wide range of neurological disorders, new research shows.
A wearable, comfortable and washable device could help people regain the ability to communicate naturally and fluently following a stroke, without the need for invasive brain implants.
Symptoms of depression are common among people with asthma, but growing evidence suggests they may arise from biological mechanisms different from those underlying major depressive disorder.
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.
DNA analysis of colorectal polyps provides important additional information on the development of these polyps and colorectal cancer, research finds. This leads to better diagnostics and treatment.
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.
Scientists have overturned a long-held belief in genetics: that inheriting two harmful variants in the same gene always worsens disease. Instead, this can actually restore normal protein function.
TV depictions of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest may mislead viewers about who is most likely to need cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and where it’s needed, new research reveals.
To better diagnose patients who appear unconscious in ICUs, and predict their recovery potential, researchers developed a tool that integrates multiple modalities for analyzing consciousness.
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.
Scientists from Northwestern University have developed an injectable regenerative nanomaterial that helps protect the brain during the vulnerable window after a stroke.
A new University of Toronto-led study has discovered a possible biomarker linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) disease progression that could help identify patients most likely to benefit from new drugs.
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered a practical way to detect and fix common AI labeling errors in large collections of radiology images.
