Study of 3.7 million children reveals small but significant increased risk of blood cancers from medical imaging radiation, with CT scans posing highest risk
University of Stuttgart scientists develop enhanced CRISPR technique that makes genetic loss-of-function analyses more efficient and reproducible for medical research.
Using AI to help detect one of the leading killers of women worldwide: A new machine learning model can successfully predict heart disease risk in women by analysing mammograms.
German researchers discover how HIV selects genome integration targets using RNA:DNA hybrids as guides, revealing new therapeutic approaches for controlling viral reservoirs.
An ultrasound examination performed by a robot can cause distress in some patients. Munich researchers have now developed a VR avatar system that makes the process feel more human.
A new technique has measured boron in individual cancer cells for the first time, enabling researchers to better understand how drugs act to kill tumours in some cancers.
To tackle the shortage of donor organs, researchers have developed a 3D printer that doesn’t just print implantable tissues, it also sees and even co-designs parts of organs.
A squishy new ‘artificial cartilage’ material could improve arthritis treatments by releasing anti-inflammatory drugs in response to a flare-up.
Use of an AI voice agent to prompt self-reported blood pressure readings may help improve accuracy of at-home blood pressure measures and patient outcomes in older patients with hypertension.
Researchers explored two promising new biomarkers as potential radiotheranostic targets for endometrial cancer. This could help identify patients who are likely to respond to targeted therapeutics.
Historically, implants to repair bone fractures have been made of metal, donor bone, or 3D-printed material. Now, scientists propose an in-situ printing approach - using a modified glue gun.
Assisted reproductive technologies like IVF are held back by the fact that more than half of all embryos fail to implant into the uterus. Now, new research explores ways to improve these odds.
Traditionally, measuring heart rate requires some sort of wearable device. Now, new research shows how the signal from a household WiFi device can be used for this crucial health monitoring.
Even though many implants such as artificial joints and pacemakers are made of titanium, they occasionally break – but why? A researcher is investigating implant failure and how to prevent it.
The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has awarded Roxana Mehran, MD, from Mount Sinai, with its top honor, the “ESC Gold Medal”, during a special ceremony at the ESC Congress in Madrid.
An advanced imaging method that uses the natural glow of tissues could help detect subtle differences in the tissue’s biochemistry, offering a way to earlier detect colorectal cancer via endoscopy.
An unexpected trigger for heart attack: Researchers show that dormant bacteria can contribute to atherosclerotic plaques and fatal myocardial infarction, effectively making it an infectious disease.
A newly developed method to accurately quantify how much radiation is absorbed by the blood during cancer treatment could lead to more personalised, preventive, and safer radiotherapy.
Studies have found that natural polysaccharides from a medical fungus endemic to Taiwan can not only effectively inhibit inflammation, but also fight the proliferation of lung cancer cells.
Dysphagia can significantly reduce a person's quality of life. Now, research teams have developed a new 3D bioprinting method to create safe and appealing meals for dysphagia diets.
Tracer molecules serve to provide visual guidance in nuclear medicine, but a new molecule could give surgeons additional audio cues to help them locate prostate cancer tumors and metastases.
Researchers have developed a new, data-driven way of fitting prosthetic legs which could lead to better fitting prosthetics, in less time and at a lower cost.
