A swallowable "nanocage" may offer a new strategy for treating gastric cancer more precisely while reducing damage to healthy tissue, according to findings from a new preclinical study.
A buildup of bile acids caused by an unhealthy gut can drive breast cancer to other parts of the body, new research reveals. The findings could open the door to new ways to prevent cancer metastasis.
Breastfeeding is recognized for its role in supporting a child's growth and immune system development. However, new research paints a more nuanced picture on its effect on childhood allergy.
Researchers have developed a method to enhance the cellular features in pathology slides based on “structural color” – the same effect that gives peacock feathers their unique sheen.
How reliable is clinical speech-to-text AI? New research aims to not only answer this question but find specific solutions to advancing safe and reliable AI systems in medical documentation.
Virus-associated molecules in the foot are enough to trigger the network: Research reveals a remarkable mechanism, in which the brain prepares for a potential viral attack within hours of infection.
What people believe about a treatment can influence how they respond to it – but how are those beliefs formed? A new review shows how medical practitioners can help their patients improve outcomes.
For the first time, two teleoperated humanoid robots have been used to complete surgeries during a preclinical trial – a first step toward introduction in the operating room, researchers said.
Researchers have developed structures for cartilage regeneration based on cellulose, gelatin and soy proteins obtained from food industry by-products, with promising properties for tissue engineering.
Bacterial growth could be used for information processing – for example, to predict the severity of an infection. New research results could pave the way for simple and low-cost diagnostic methods.
Adenomyosis can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, severe pain, and pregnancy and fertility complications. New research could help pave the way for more targeted, less invasive treatments.
A blood test for ctDNA may help identify which patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy after surgery, according to new research.
Why do some prostate cancers grow slowly and remain localized while others become aggressive and metastasize? In a new paper, researchers identify the answer: tumor methylation.
Asthma attacks induce mechanical forces that permanently alter airway tissue – independently of inflammation. New research used advanced lung-on-a-chip technology to show how this damage occurs.
Tiny algae-based robots guided by magnets could improve bladder cancer treatment by boosting delivery of chemotherapy drugs into tumours, results from a new study suggest.
A study from the University of Calgary shows that removing a single gene makes colon cancer cells a target for immunotherapy — a fundamental breakthrough.
A new experimental compound, called OLE, helps the brain enclose and contain beta-amyloid plaques – a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease –, reducing their size and toxicity.
A new study uncovers new factors associated with ICP, a pregnancy-related liver disease. The findings open up new avenues for research into maternal health and pregnancy-related liver diseases.
A Taiwanese research team found that BET inhibitors can restore exhausted T cells by reprogramming their metabolism – a potential new strategy for cancer immunotherapy.
Adapting blood pressure targets after thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke significantly improves patients’ functional recovery without increasing the risk of complications, a new study finds.
Prof. Johanna Joyce has begun her two-year term as President of the European Association for Cancer Research (EACR), a global community of scientists and clinicians dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of cancer and its application to improve patient care.
Blood tests show promise for detecting and monitoring cancer. A new method makes it possible to analyse samples containing as little as 5% cancer DNA, compared with the 15–20% required today.
A promising technology enables deep brain stimulation without the need to surgically implant electrodes. This could pave the way for its use in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
A research team has developed a way to engineer better vaccines that could provide broad protection from thousands of variants of viruses - such as coronaviruses or Ebola - in a single vaccine.
At which point does Alzheimer’s disease pathology lead to dementia? Researchers identified distinct mechanisms in the brain, which could represent an important target for future therapies.
