More than half of cancer patients in whom the cancer spreads beyond the primary site have lung metastases. What makes the lungs such a tempting place for cancer cells? New research may have an answer.
Researchers now succeeded in making leukemia-specific immune cells less sensitive to the influence of tumor cells, thereby significantly increasing their effectiveness.
A new radiotracer – an injected compound used in PET scans – could help inform doctors that a patients aggressive cancer will not respond to chemotherapy before treatment is given.
A new type of photocurrent-responsive coating has been shown to shorten the bone-to-implant integration time after orthopaedic surgery to just two weeks.
Social deprivation, infectious diseases, broken bones, and even poison apples: The life of Disney princesses is fraught with hidden health risks, a new study reveals.
Using a technique called field-cycling imaging (FCI) derived from MRI, researchers are able to detect signs of brain damage from stroke at ultra-low magnetic fields.
According to popular belief, the holidays are peak season for suicide – except that is not true at all. Experts rectify the popular myth and explore the reasons for its persistence.
Tumors in female fruit flies grow significantly larger than in male ones, a new study finds. The findings could lead to a better understanding of how the biological sex impacts cancer development.
Research offers new insights into harnessing the immune system to combat ovarian cancer. The findings could lead to personalized therapies that target the right patients at the right time.
Metabolic-associated fatty liver disease has 2 types – a liver-specific type and a systemic type that affects other organs and tissues. This discovery could lead to better diagnosis and treatments.
When women are pregnant and nurse their babies, their bodies change to ensure the health of both mother and child. Researchers now surprisingly find that the intestine also changes completely.
Scientists have now discovered that the heart has its own complex nervous system – a 'mini brain', if you will – that is crucial to controlling its rhythm.
US engineers turned to the world of parasites as inspiration to affix small-scale medical devices to the GI tract or other soft tissues for sensing, sample collection, and extended drug release.
A new way to inhibit the proliferation of Sars-CoV-2 opens up new perspectives in the fight against this coronavirus and other viral diseases that still have no medical treatment.
To advance the transition of AI from research to clinical application, Nvidia announced that Siemens Healthineers has adopted MONAI, an open-source medical imaging framework.
A new type of pancreas organoid contains all key pancreatic cell types - acinar, ductal, and endocrine cells - allowing valuable new insights.
Treatment options for diastolic heart failure are very limited. Using a 'virtual heart' model, researchers now found that speeding up the heart rhythm with a pacemaker could be a solution.
As new research shows, low-dose chest computed tomography (CT) can identify coronary artery calcium, a strong risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), in patients without cardiac symptoms.
New research has linked having a cerebral stroke to lasting changes in the arteries in the abdomen. The study in animal models with hypertension could lead to new preventative strategies.
US researchers have developed a comprehensive deep learning AI model designed to more accurately identify and classify cells in high-content tissue images.
The current rise in antibiotic resistance is once again sparking interest in phage therapy. Now, scientists developed a new tool that recommends the best possible phage cocktail for a given patient.
A wearable electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) device, which uses low-voltage electrical currents, could help reduce pain, fatigue, and mobility issues associated with long-Covid, a new study finds.
Exposure to air pollutants (PM2.5 and PM10) is associated with an increased risk of persistent long-Covid symptoms, partly due to its impact on the severity of the acute infection, a new study shows.
A research team has found wearable organic x-ray sensors could be the answer towards safer radiotherapy protocols for cancer patients, reducing the debilitating side-effects of the treatment.
A new study shows how inherent variations in a cancer cell and its interactions with its surroundings mould its migration. The findings provide valuable insights into the processes behind metastasis.
