Researchers developed biomimetic materials inspired by lymph nodes, which could improve cancer immunotherapy. The study highlights the potential of bioengineered scaffolds for cell-based therapies.
In an NICU, it is critically important to accurately assess a baby's pain level. A new review finds that none of the current clinical rating scales are backed by evidence in terms of validity and reliability.
Due to the effects of climate change, dengue is spreading worldwide. Now, researchers have developed a 'dengue-on-a-chip' model that helps study the virus more effectively.
Researchers have succeeded in mapping how blood vessels in the brain react after a stroke. This new insight can lead to more effective treatment and fewer complications for patients.
New research reveals a method that uses pulsed infrared light to identify molecular profiles in blood plasma that could indicate the presence of certain common cancers.
A new AI tool can extract key information from brain MRI scans of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. This could be used to improve disease and treatment response monitoring.
RNA researcher Anastasia Khvorova, PhD, professor of RNA therapeutics at UMass Chan Medical School, will receive this year's Else Kröner Fresenius Prize for Medical Research on May 15, 2025. The award ceremony will be a part of the festive event together with the Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA celebrating the 100th birthday of Else Kröner, at the Städel Museum in Frankfurt am Main.
In a new study, researchers show that the emergence of antibiotic resistance can be understood in the mechanism of how bacteria build up defences against being infected by viruses.
The new national Precision Omics Initiative Sweden (PROMISE) aims to generate and integrate extensive molecular data to create a model for precision medicine implementation for Sweden.
An international research team has developed an intelligent device capable of monitoring the skin continuously and accurately detect temperature variations associated with inflammation and infection.
Fighting pancreatic cancer can feel like a race against time. A new discovery could give clinicians a head start - by targeting precancerous lesions before they become much more aggressive.
Soccer is not only a fun and popular sport, but can also help prevent many lifestyle-related conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, obesity, several cancers, and mental health challenges.
A new method to quickly and accurately analyze the structure of collagen in tissue shows promise to improve the diagnostics of cancer and other diseases.
Smaller than a grain of rice: US engineers have developed a pacemaker so tiny that it can fit inside the tip of a syringe — and be non-invasively injected into the body.
Severe obesity comes with serious health risks, which can be reduced with metabolic and bariatric surgery. Now, a landmark study reveals which operation is most effective or cost-effective.
Researchers discovered a key mechanism by which melanomas and other aggressive tumours prevent the immune system from detecting and attacking them – one of the greatest challenges in oncology today.
Researchers have developed ‘sponge-like’ microneedle patches that deliver bioactive ingredients and reduce inflammation in slow- and non-healing diabetic wounds.
Leveraging bioink from pancreatic tissue and 3D bioprinting, researchers developed a structure closely mimicking the structure of a pancreas, in which cultured cells can resume insulin production.
Transmission of tuberculosis (TB) in the European Region is still ongoing, and immediate public health measures are needed to control and reduce the growing burden of the disease, experts urge.
A rigorous review of evidence showed that AI-assisted technology helps identify colorectal polyps. However, its impact on preventing colon cancer remains unclear.
As of May 1st, Maartje Huijbers holds the position of vice dean of research, a new position within the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC). Huijbers is associate professor and research group leader in the Department of Human Genetics and the Department of Neurology. She will combine her work as a scientist with the position of vice dean.
Electrodes implanted directly onto the brain’s visual cortex could eventually restore a rudimentary form of vision to people suffering from blindness worldwide, new research suggests.
Chronic pain is more common among women, but why is that? New research explores sex-specific differences in pain signal communication in the nervous system to help answer this question.
A research project investigating the genetics and health of volunteers from the Hebrides, Shetland or Orkney shows how distinct genetic populations can benefit from tailored screening programmes.
Researchers have succeeded in producing sensors from single-wall carbon nanotubes that are suitable for detecting even minute changes in specific substances in the body, such as female hormones.
