Clues in the CSF: Researchers have developed the first high-precision method that can theoretically diagnose common brain tumors in children and adolescents without surgery.
Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure share a genetic link, new research from the UK and France shows. People with one condition are more likely to develop the other.
A new type of 3D imaging reveals how amyloid β (Aβ) deposits spread along blood vessels in the human brain. This could lead to targeted therapies for Alzheimer's disease and CAA.
Not just linked to diabetes: For the first time, researchers demonstrated that insulin resistance is a risk factor for 12 types of cancer, including uterine and breast cancer.
Selecting the healthiest embryo is one of the most important steps in in‑vitro fertilization, yet it remains one of the most uncertain. A new type of hydrogel offers hope for more successful IVF.
Due to its rapid spread in the abdomen, ovarian cancer is often only detected at an advanced stage. Now, scientists have discovered how this cancer takes advantage of other cells for metastasis.
Even after a blood clot is removed from a large brain artery via thrombectomy, administering the thrombolytic drug alteplase to the area may improve stroke recovery, a new trial from Spain shows.
Not all cancer mutations are equal: new research shows that a single mutation hotspot can generate a rich diversity of tumour behaviours. This could lead to more personalised cancer treatments.
An AI-assisted stethoscope could help doctors identify patients with valvular heart disease who may otherwise go undiagnosed. This could reduce hospital admissions and overall healthcare costs.
Reseachers show how Candida albicans – a fungus living in our body – can make melanoma more aggressive. The results pave the way for antifungal therapies to complement skin cancer treatments.
Promising new research points to a new immunotherapy approach that could help preserve viable neurons in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Rethinking ultrasound gel: To reduce patient discomfort during sonography exams, researchers from Japan propose a natural, reusable solid pad for clearer, more comfortable imaging.
Scientists have shown that a type of laser similar to the one currently used in routine eye surgery could one day help surgeons remove unwanted tissues, such as tumours, with unprecedented accuracy.
Brain fog explained: People with ME/CFS and long Covid experience a disruption to their brain connectivity during a mentally demanding task, new research finds.
A new type of lab-grown organoid that mimics the behaviour of a human stomach could boost the understanding of rare gastric diseases, researchers say.
Chemotherapy does more than kill cancer cells: It reshapes the gut microbiome, making the body less permissive to metastasis. This finding opens new avenues for adjuvant strategies.
Researchers have discovered that amyloid-β deposits - similar to those found in Alzheimer’s disease - may contribute to the development of preeclampsia during pregnancy.
Non-invasive, millimetre-scale diffusion MRI (dMRI) can be used to detect morphological changes in axons – a common hallmark of a wide range of neurological disorders, new research shows.
A wearable, comfortable and washable device could help people regain the ability to communicate naturally and fluently following a stroke, without the need for invasive brain implants.
Symptoms of depression are common among people with asthma, but growing evidence suggests they may arise from biological mechanisms different from those underlying major depressive disorder.
Should younger and older people receive different treatments for the same infection? New research suggests that age-specific treatments may be necessary in ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis.
DNA analysis of colorectal polyps provides important additional information on the development of these polyps and colorectal cancer, research finds. This leads to better diagnostics and treatment.
Immunotherapy has been hailed as a breakthrough in cancer treatment. But new research reveals: under sustained treatment pressure, cancer does not simply weaken — it adapts, learns, and fights back.
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.
