Tongue squamous cell carcinoma, the most common type of oral cancer, is a challenging target for immunotherapies. Researchers now identified five immunotypes to better predict treatment response.
A major challenge in cancer genomics is separating meaningful mutations from false positives. A new tool uses machine learning to significantly reduce these errors.
Childhood cancer diagnosis times span from immediate to delays of several years, according to a new study. Young bone tumor patients are among the most affected by these delays.
Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from proliferating, known as the barrier effect. Now, scientists have identified seven bacteria involved, paving the way for new therapies.
Personalised, responsive assistance for patients with dyspraxia: Assistive robots could help patients with motor coordination conditions by detecting and predicting intent, effort and fatigue.
Is osteoarthritis really an inevitable side-effect of an ageing body? New research challenges the idea of mechanical wear of joints as the cause of this painful condition.
An Australian research team has developed a blood-based method of analysing thousands of proteins in a single, untargeted test. This potentially enables rapid diagnosis of many rare genetic diseases.
A US research team has shown that Sars-CoV-2 can “reprogram” pathogen-fighting white blood cells into immune system suppressing cells — a potential mechanism by which severe Covid may arise.
New research shows that dysfunction in the mitochondria linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) occurs before the cells show other signs of disease, which was not previously known.
After the Covid-19 pandemic, face masks have become less common. However, those who still need to wear a mask often suffer from discomfort due to restricted breathing. New research could change this.
A gene once believed to fight only viral infections could also hold the key to preventing memory loss in Alzheimer’s patients, a new study finds. This paves the way for new drug developments.
A deep learning model was able to predict future lung cancer risk from a single low-dose chest CT (LDCT) scan, according to new research published at the ATS 2025 International Conference.
Creating cardiac ‘digital twins’ at a large scale, researchers hope to gather new insights into heart health. This includes effects of age, sex, and lifestyle factors on heart disease risk.
Jakob Kirkegård is a physician, associate professor, and now also a doctor at Aarhus University's Department of Clinical Medicine and Aarhus University Hospital. He has just obtained his doctoral degree in the surgical treatment of pancreatic cancer – one of the most deadly forms of cancer.
Researchers have found a way to observe clotting activity in blood as it happens — without needing invasive procedures. This could open the door to better treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Researchers evaluated the clinical value of using ChatGPT to interpret seizure semiology in order to predict which brain areas to remove to achieve seizure freedom in epilepsy patients.
A new AI tool called PERISCOPE should help healthcare providers determine which patients need extra monitoring to protect them from wound or lung infections, UTIs or sepsis.
Researchers used state-of-the-art 3D bioprinting to replicate the complex structure and environment of spinal discs. Their insights hold promise for understanding back pain and disc degeneration.
A team of scientists has developed a method for 3D printing polymers at specific locations deep within living animals.
Using AI to analyse ultrasound scans can detect up to 35% more risk pregnancies than scans performed by healthcare professionals without AI decision support, according to new results.
Researchers incorporated a specialized breath sensor within the fabric of a face mask to detect metabolites associated with chronic kidney disease. Initial tests showed promising results.
At the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), three experts presented new approaches and study results for the treatment of breast cancer in young women.
Finding ways to target antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a scientific and medical priority. A consortium of researchers identified a compound capable of blocking a key protein for virulence, thus “disarming” the pathogenic bacteria.
Pupil dilation and involuntary facial movements could provide a window into diagnosing tinnitus. A new method uses AI to detect minuscule reactions to various sounds and noises.
Discovering knowledge about side effects needs to be faster and better. In her oration, Prof. Dr. Agnes Kant, Professor by special appointment of Innovation of Pharmacovigilance, calls for more research on side effects. She also pleads for a fund for independent research on side effects.
