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.
An international research team has discovered a promising new therapeutic approach for aggressive prostate cancer – in the thyroid gland.
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) serve as the basis for a novel type of MRI contrast agent, which the developers hope can outperform current agents while being less toxic for the patient.
Using a bioengineered bone marrow model, researchers were able to provide key new information on the efficacy and safety of CAR T-cell therapy for acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), the most common leukaemia in adults.
Researchers explore how ultrasound waves can be used to activate chemotherapy drugs only in targeted areas, offering a new path toward safer, more effective cancer treatment.
Researchers developed an AI-assisted brain atlas for visualization at microscopic detail using MRI scans. The tool could transform early detection of Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
In the future, health monitors and medical devices could be powered by the body’s natural sugars: A new research project aims to harness power from glucose for implantable medical devices.
A biosensor that identifies volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath could be used in conjunction with AI to detect various thoracic cancers including lung cancer.
3D + time: a new 4D ultrasound imaging technique could both improve our understanding of the circulatory system and facilitate the diagnosis of certain blood circulation-related diseases.
Why does amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, attack motor neurons, the cells that control body movement, while others are spared? A new study may have found an answer.
Developmental dysplasia of the hip occurs in 2-4% of infants, but screening via ultrasound is notoriously hard to master. An AI-assisted application could prevent many unnecessary hospital referrals.
During menopause, many women experience forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, and mental fatigue. A new review explores the link between brain changes during menopause and these symptoms.
Newly discovered blood biomarkers may offer new options to track Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in a less invasive way than physical tests or biopsies. This could support more tailored treatments.
