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.
Using novel implantable neurotechnology and AI, researchers found a new way to make future leg prostheses feel and act more like a natural part of the body.
Siemens Healthineers has announced the availability of two blood-based biomarker tests for research use: the Atellica IM Phosphorylated tau 217 (pTau217) and the Atellica IM Brain Derived Tau (BDTau) assays. Both are run on the Atellica Solution IM and Atellica CI Analyzers.
Australian researchers have unlocked the possibility of creating smart wound dressings that enable real-time monitoring while also delivering healing agents in one simple, scalable platform.
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.
Early dysfunction of the glymphatic system — the network responsible for removing waste from the brain — could be a key vulnerability factor for the onset of psychosis, according to new research.
Glioblastoma is notorious for late diagnosis, rapid progression, resistance to treatment and its biological complexity. A new experimental method could help detect this deadly type of brain cancer.
Leveraging the power of chaos theory, experts have developed a new way to encrypt medical images such as X-ray, CT and MRI scans, keeping them secure even if hospital networks are breached.
A hidden immune circuit in the uterus revealed: Researchers have discovered a crucial immune switch that sheds light on preeclampsia and early pregnancy failure.
Researchers discovered that pineoblastoma, retinoblastoma and medulloblastoma – severe brain tumours in children that appear to be completely different – actually arise from the same type of cell.
Researchers have discovered a new way to protect the heart during cancer chemotherapy without reducing antitumor efficacy. This could reduce long-term cardiovascular complications for patients.
Coronaviruses can generate new variants capable of infecting humans after circulating in animal reservoirs. Researchers develop broad-spectrum antiviral drugs to curb the spread of these pathogens.
Korean researchers are developing a “spray shield that adheres to transplant organs” and reduces the burden on patients taking lifelong immunosuppressants to prevent transplant rejection.
Alcohol, cannabis and psychostimulants: A new study explores how healthcare professionals perceive that their own substance use affects their work.
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.
A small but growing body of evidence suggests that a minimally invasive surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) might be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
“The bacteria effectively hide in a bunker”: New research reveals a surprising mechanism used by Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa to protect themselves from antibiotics.
To better distinguish between healthy and diseased gut microbiomes, scientists have created an index that tracks microbial behavior and signals conditions such as colorectal cancer.
A research team led by the University of Waterloo is developing a novel tool to treat cancer by engineering hungry bacteria to literally eat tumours from the inside out.
