Scientists have overturned a long-held belief in genetics: that inheriting two harmful variants in the same gene always worsens disease. Instead, this can actually restore normal protein function.
TV depictions of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest may mislead viewers about who is most likely to need cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and where it’s needed, new research reveals.
To better diagnose patients who appear unconscious in ICUs, and predict their recovery potential, researchers developed a tool that integrates multiple modalities for analyzing consciousness.
Researchers have developed a prototype injectable paste that could help restore breast volume after tumor removal, with less scarring and shorter healing time than current options.
Scientists from Northwestern University have developed an injectable regenerative nanomaterial that helps protect the brain during the vulnerable window after a stroke.
A new University of Toronto-led study has discovered a possible biomarker linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) disease progression that could help identify patients most likely to benefit from new drugs.
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have discovered a practical way to detect and fix common AI labeling errors in large collections of radiology images.
Now, a research team has developed a novel diagnostic approach that enables the rapid and simultaneous detection of both antibiotic resistance and high virulence in Klebsiella pneumoniae.
Cardiovascular disease and depression do not co-occur by chance; the TO_AITION project aims to enable earlier diagnosis of comorbidity, better risk prediction and personalised treatment strategies.
New research shows that a harmless strain of Klebsiella – discovered by chance in laboratory experiments – can eliminate infections and reduce gut inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
To soften up tumors prior to cancer chemotherapy, a team of researchers paired high-frequency ultrasound waves with a type of sound-responsive particle to reduce the protein content of the tumors.
Researchers from Osaka have developed a simple and efficient system for understanding the functions of specific norovirus genes, providing new avenues for developing antivirals and vaccines.
From volcanic activity to the deaths of millions: Using climate data and documentary evidence, researchers have painted a detailed picture of how the Black Death pandemic reached Europe.
Researchers have designed a tiny robotic catheter, steered from outside using magnetic fields. The device has the potential to improve infertility treatments, without damaging delicate tissue.
One-third of junior doctors have experienced sexual harassment and abuse within their healthcare system. A new research anthology aims to help understand and tackle the root causes, and find potential solutions.
New insights into the intestinal nervous system – or "gut brain" – open new avenues for advancing therapies for allergies, chronic inflammatory bowel diseases and irritable bowel syndrome.
Researchers developed an X-ray imaging method capable of revealing hidden features in a single shot. This could advance cancer detection, disease monitoring, security screening and material analysis.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a hospital-acquired bacterium that causes serious infections, can move from the lungs to the gut inside the same patient, raising the risk of sepsis, new research reveals.
A team of researchers comprehensively catalogued a new collection of bacteria-eating viruses called phages. These phages could be used to combat Klebsiella pneumoniae - a serious threat in hospitals.
A major new initiative aims to enable the development of advanced, specific and highly reproducible human in vitro models for greater understanding of disease and the acceleration of new medicines.
Researchers have developed a new 3D printing technique for blood vessels on glass. This could be a tool for studying stroke causes and testing patient-specific medications without animal testing.
Researchers have developed a novel 3D-printable material that is both biocompatible and highly elastic. The technology could pave the way for artificial organs and improved drug delivery systems.
New research reveals why women with long Covid — especially those who develop chronic fatigue syndrome — tend to experience more severe and persistent symptoms than men do.
New hope for patients with neurological diseases: A combination of focused ultrasound and gene therapy enables targeted, nonsurgical control of seizure-relevant brain regions.
A patient reports with chest pain, but in the coronary angiogram, the main heart arteries look clear, so it cannot be angina – right? A new study reveals that this approach can easily lead to misdiagnosis.
