A team of researchers has developed an AI system capable of interpreting some of the most complex heart scans in medicine, cardiac MRI, without the need for manually labeled training data.
New research has found that a genetic factor best known for increasing the risk of Alzheimer's disease, may also influence how pathological changes spread in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Sleep disturbances, anxiety, suicide – wind turbines have been linked to a long list of health problems. But a new analysis finds no adverse outcomes. The danger, researchers say, lies elsewhere.
A more comprehensive system for drug safety evaluation: Researchers have developed a new tool to estimate the risk of using medicines while driving.
New research reveals that testosterone slows glioblastoma growth—the opposite of the androgen’s effect on tumors outside the brain.
Researchers at the Leibniz Institute on Aging have shown that oxidative stress impairs protein quality control in the brain – and that this process is reversible.
A CRISPR-based tool called Cas12a2 can selectively eliminate cancer and virus-infected cells based on their RNA signature – with high precision and no off-target effects.
Researchers are developing nanozymes to improve treatment of aggressive brain tumours. The tiny particles can be activated by near-infrared light and applied directly during surgery.
Researchers have used cryo-expansion microscopy to capture cytotoxic T lymphocytes destroying cancer cells in unprecedented 3D detail, opening new paths in immuno-oncology.
Why do some older adults remain mentally sharp despite having Alzheimer's? Decoding this natural resilience could pave the way for earlier detection and new strategies to prevent memory loss.
A new analytical method could improve how cancer treatments are designed – by allowing scientists to track, for the first time, exactly where inside a living cell a drug accumulates.
A research team is leading the development of a sensor that paves the way for the rapid, selective and cost-effective detection of active tuberculosis infection.
A 3D brain marker may help identify which patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) benefit from shunt surgery – improving outcomes and sparing others from ineffective treatment.
Repeated menstrual cycles may do more than trigger endometriosis – they may rewire the brain, a new study finds. Recurring inflammation can sensitize the nervous system, driving lasting pain.
Neural implants show great potential, but the brain's reaction to foreign objects remains a challenge. New research insights could now pave the way for more biocompatible brain implants.
Why does the same genetic mutation cause FCDII in some patients but not in others? Researchers developed organoids to model a brain malformation responsible for drug-resistant epilepsy in children.
RFID – the same wireless technology that can track pets or locate items – can also be used to measure breathing in patients with impaired lung function contactlessly – in hospital or at home.
Researchers have taken an early but promising step toward a cancer therapy that targets and destroys tumor cells with high precision, using a variant of the DNA editing tool CRISPR.
Being overweight can reduce vaccine effectiveness, new research finds. The findings explore differences in immune response, and may lead to more effective vaccines for patients with obesity.
New research reveals that extracellular vesicles derived from menstrual blood stromal cells can improve cartilage repair, suggesting an innovative cell-free therapy for osteoarthritis.
Researchers have developed a flexible optical fiber that can be threaded through a medical endoscope and steered into the larynx to destroy hard-to-reach tumors on the vocal folds.
To improve lung cancer detection, researchers have developed a new AI system that employs a dual approach to analyse CT scans – seeing both detail and context at the same time.
Scientists from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and colleagues create the first-ever immune-capable “Cervix-on-a-chip” to study sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Researchers are developing a portable AI-powered scanning slit-light device, designed to make ophthalmic care more accessible, so patients can be assessed any place, and any time.
A tick's saliva keeps blood flowing, disarms the immune system, and smuggles in pathogens. Scientists have just found out how to disrupt this process and prevent infection.
