MRI is an essential tool for clinicians, but the variability of image acquisition protocols is a challenge for achieving consistent and reliable interpretation. A new study intends to fix this issue.
Photon counting detectors along with novel algorithms allow for more precise 3D visualization of different tissues and contrast agents by capturing X-rays at multiple energy levels simultaneously.
New research uncovers the hidden diversity of adrenal gland tumors, shedding light on how they cause unusual medical symptoms and paving the way for new drug treatments.
Research on biliary tract cancer is advancing rapidly, ranging from targeted treatments to new drugs. However, the delivery of these advances to patients is lagging behind, new European studies find.
The shimmering blue wings of a Morpho butterfly are not just beautiful to look at - they can also help make cancer diagnosis faster, more accurate and more accessible, new research finds.
Researchers at the University of Sydney are using so-called Zwitterions to create a surface coating that could stop blood clotting in medical devices and implants like catheters and stents.
Molecular changes associated with brain inflammation and dementia can be detected in the blood. Researchers want to use this to establish blood tests as an alternative to more costly brain scans.
The gastrointestinal microbiome holds valuable information that can help predict whether immunotherapy will be successful against melanoma. A new “gut-on-a-chip” is designed to do exactly that.
Using a new technology and computational method, researchers have uncovered a biomarker capable of accurately predicting the aggressiveness of meningioma brain tumors and breast cancers.
Researchers have created a landmark atlas of how healthy breast tissue ages, revealing key cellular, molecular, and genetic changes that may tip the balance toward breast cancer development.
Microbiologists have just shown that people with diabetes are more likely to develop antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, a leading cause of AMR-associated infections and deaths.
When multiple myeloma cancer cells break out and multiply outside the bone marrow, a wide variety of tumor cells arise, accompanied by a significantly altered immune response, new research shows.
Newborns with heart complications can rely on their immune systems to regenerate, but adults aren’t so lucky. A new study explores this mechanism, paving the way for treatments after a heart attack.
To improve breathing monitoring during radiotherapy, researchers have developed a millimeter-wave sensor capable of non-invasively visualizing respiratory movement during X-ray and CT examinations.
Researchers have developed a new kind of tumour-on-a-chip, which gives insight into the tumour environment and immunotherapy response. The device has been successfully tested on breast cancer samples.
Researchers developed a smart patch capable of real-time biometric signal monitoring and drug delivery. Potential applications include glucose management, pain relief, and chronic disease treatment.
Using 3D imaging and deep learning AI, researchers have developed a new way to accurately assess body fat and muscle distribution, which are crucial for understanding health risks.
A sensor, similar to glucose monitoring devices, detects lung cancer biomarkers from a blood sample in just 40 minutes. The technology has potential to identify at-risk patients and tailor treatments.
Research suggests a new approach to detecting Alzheimer’s disease: changes in brain oxygenation dynamics and neuronal function contribute to the neurodegeneration.
Persister cells arise as a result of cancer treatment and are often responsible for tumour relapse. Researchers identified a distinctive feature of persister cells, paving the way for new treatments.
Researchers explore the connection between the gut and the brain and its impact on the onset of psychiatric and neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s.
“A turning point in neuroscience,” say developers about a holographic endoscope that peers deep into the brain through an optical fiber – minimally invasive and with subcellular resolution.
Two recent studies find that resistance can develop against new antibiotics even before they are widely used, compromising their effectiveness from the start.
“What is a tumour?” Researchers explore tumour architecture as a valuable source of information to understand tumour dynamics and predict its sensitivity to anticancer drugs.
Traumatic brain injury can lead to post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE). Researchers focus on a specific brain receptor to better understand and prevent PTE in at-risk patients.
