Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) serve as the basis for a novel type of MRI contrast agent, which the developers hope can outperform current agents while being less toxic for the patient.
Using a bioengineered bone marrow model, researchers were able to provide key new information on the efficacy and safety of CAR T-cell therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), the most common leukaemia in adults.
Researchers explore how ultrasound waves can be used to activate chemotherapy drugs only in targeted areas, offering a new path toward safer, more effective cancer treatment.
Researchers developed an AI-assisted brain atlas for visualization at microscopic detail using MRI scans. The tool could transform early detection of Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
In the future, health monitors and medical devices could be powered by the body’s natural sugars: A new research project aims to harness power from glucose for implantable medical devices.
A biosensor that identifies volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath could be used in conjunction with AI to detect various thoracic cancers including lung cancer.
3D + time: a new 4D ultrasound imaging technique could both improve our understanding of the circulatory system and facilitate the diagnosis of certain blood circulation-related diseases.
Why does amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, attack motor neurons, the cells that control body movement, while others are spared? A new study may have found an answer.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip occurs in 2-4% of infants, but screening via ultrasound is notoriously hard to master. An AI-assisted application could prevent many unnecessary hospital referrals.
During menopause, many women experience forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, and mental fatigue. A new review explores the link between brain changes during menopause and these symptoms.
Newly discovered blood biomarkers may offer new options to track Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in a less invasive way than physical tests or biopsies. This could support more tailored treatments.
Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that explains how bacteria within a tumor can drive treatment resistance in patients with oral and colorectal cancer.
Entering menopause at an earlier age is associated with an increased risk of dementia, a new study finds. The research also suggests a way for women to combat the cognitive decline.
Scientists are on the way to finding a vaccine to fight off Helicobacter pylori - a bacterium found in over 60% of people - possibly preventing stomach ulcers and lowering the risk for stomach cancer.
An international project to create a ‘digital twin’ of the human immune system could help scientists finally tackle grand challenges such as autoimmune disorders and infectious diseases.
Integrating liquid metal nanomaterials into a ceramic scaffold could improve the durability and biocompatibility of orthopedic implants, while also combatting antimicrobial resistance.
HIV manages to persist in the body for decades after infection and treatment. Now, researchers discovered that the virus cloaks itself in the DNA of infected cells using unique DNA patterns.
Scientists have developed a new method to track the build-up of amyloid plaques – a key characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease – in real time – an important step forward towards new treatments.
Precision Oncology Ireland (POI), a €28M cancer research programme uniting universities, charities and industry to develop tailored diagnostic and therapeutic solutions, has now entered phase 2.
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.
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is awarded to three researchers for their insights into peripheral immune tolerance - how our immune system is kept from attacking our own body.
Immunotherapy has improved the treatment for many cancers, but progress has been limited in leukemia. Discovery of a new evasive mechanism could help change that.
Scientists have shown for the first time that glioblastoma—the deadliest form of brain cancer—affects not just the brain but also erodes the skull, alters the makeup of skull marrow, and interferes with the body’s immune response.
New insights on the mechanisms that cause “brain fog” in Long Covid patients: Researchers use a specialized brain imaging technique to identify a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.
Overcrowded EDs and the escalating workload of nurses are pressing challenges in emergency medicine. While AI might not solve these problems, it could help staff mitigate them, new research suggests.
