A US-Swiss team leverages AI and molecular simulations to uncover new pathways for precision cancer treatments, paving the way for more effective, personalized therapies.
Robots could help guide self-managed rehabilitation for stroke and brain injury survivors. A new project explores the potential of the technology for restoring upper limb mobility.
Researchers propose the use of molecular ‘cages’ (made of pseudopeptides) to selectively eliminate cancer cells in acidic microenvironments. This could help reduce side effects from chemotherapy.
Certain long-term health conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, can obscure early symptoms of lung cancer, leading to delays in diagnosis, a new study finds.
A new method of analysing the crystals in dehydrated blood could lead to a quicker, cheaper and less painful technique to diagnose, early detect, and monitor prostate cancer.
Acute kidney injury not only affects the kidneys, but can also impact brain health, leading to an increased risk for developing dementia. This is according to a new study from Sweden.
New research from Denmark explores a possible connection between endometriosis and an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Details are presented at the ESC 2024 Congress.
In a recent study, researchers proposed a novel technique to help make stained histopathological image datasets more useful for many emerging machine-learning-based classification systems.
Protection from established Covid-19 vaccines wanes relatively quickly. A new vector vaccine elicits prolonged immune response in animal models, and maintains its efficacy over extended time.
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence which can differentiate cancer cells from normal cells, as well as detect the very early stages of viral infection inside cells.
Breakthrough for telemedicine: Surpassing a distance of 9,300 kilometers, surgeons from Hongkong and Zurich successfully performed an endoscopic procedure in an animal model.
The time of day can be an important aspect to consider for cancer therapy. Researchers from Charité are developing new methods to use the internal clock inside tumor cells to optimize treatments.
Even years after the removal of the gallbladder (cholecystectomy), one-third of patients still experience persisting abdominal pain. Better selection criteria for surgery are needed, say researchers.
Researchers discovered a gene that might be a key factor in the progression of Huntington’s disease in organoids. The gene may contribute to brain abnormalities much earlier than previously thought.
Using a melt electrowriting (MEW) technique, bioengineers have developed a hybrid structure to address the clinical need for small-diameter vascular grafts and help combat cardiovascular disease.
Brazilian researchers have identified a key mechanism of Sars-CoV-2 to manipulate its host’s immune defense. This discovery could pave the way for the development of novel therapies.
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant (AMR) bacteria are a major issue in hospitals. A new technique aims to effectively track all types of relevant microorganisms simultaneously.
Researchers explore the native bioproduction facilities in bacteria to synthesize a new biopolymer with tissue-healing properties. The resulting hydrogel could be used for muscle tissue regeneration.
Endometriosis can cause abdominal pain and cramping before, during and after menstruation, and may lead to infertility. Now, researchers identified promising approaches for better early diagnosis.
Systemic lupus erythematodes can lead to severe kidney damage. However, until now, the cause for this remained unclear. New research has now revealed the underlying mechanism.
Many patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) suffer from neurobehavioral difficulties that can significantly impact quality of life. A new screening tool shows promise for assessing this.
Can a mouthwash-based test help predict head and neck cancer recurrence? A new study suggests it might.
Enter symptoms into ChatGPT, receive an accurate diagnosis? Research reveals that LLM AI models are not quite there yet, struggling to identify genetic conditions from patient-written descriptions.
Using conventional ultrasound, researchers have developed a model that determines whether conditions such as fibrosis or edema are present in the lungs, and gives information about the severity.
Can a look at a patient's DNA predict progress of their colorectal cancer? Findings from a new study could lead to improved possibilities for individualised therapies.
