Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic have conducted the first human trials of a new drug, lepodisiran, that has the potential to eliminate a risk factor for cardiovascular disease for which there is currently no treatment.
One-dose drug reduced genetic bad cholesterol by 94% for almost a year Read more
The researchers from the University of Cambridge found that, on its own, the blood test could diagnose up to 30% of patients with BD, but combining it with the online psychiatric assessment significantly improved the diagnosis rate, especially in people whose diagnosis was not obvious.
Quick, simple blood test helps diagnose bipolar disorder Read more
Researchers at Sweden’s Chalmers University of Technology have developed an incredibly efficient way to recycle metals from spent batteries, and at the same time minimize the loss of valuable raw materials such as nickel, cobalt and manganese. No expensive or harmful chemicals are required in the process.
Breakthrough in recycling EV batteries can recover 100% of aluminum and 98% of lithium Read more
Researchers at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute at La Trobe University in Australia have found that how a patient responds to cancer comes down to how effective a group of immune cells in the large bowel are.
In a world first, scientists discover ‘roadmap’ to beating bowel cancer Read more
For the first time, scientists from Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine have combined the six primary skin cell types with specialized hydrogels to ‘print’ a thick, multilayered skin that, when transplanted, successfully integrated with surrounding tissue to heal wounds faster and with less scarring.
Breakthrough human-like bioprinted skin heals wounds better and faster Read more
Researchers at the University of North Carolina have developed an AI model that can predict in real-time whether or not cancerous tissue has been fully removed during breast cancer surgery. The model performed as well as, or better than, human doctors.
AI model improves cancer tumor removal during breast surgery Read more
Researchers from the University of Chicago have created a new vaccine that can effectively treat these debilitating diseases in a way that doesn’t require suppressing the entire immune system and thus prevents a variety of negative side effects.
Novel “inverse vaccine” reverses autoimmune diseases like MS, diabetes & arthritis Read more
Liquid hydrogen is a giant pain to handle, but it’s one of the few technologies with a genuine chance of decarbonizing long-range flight.
H2Fly’s twin-fuselage aircraft makes world-first liquid hydrogen flight Read more
Researchers from Monash University, Cleveland Clinic, and Eli Lilly have developed an oral drug to target a form of cholesterol that has previously been untreatable and is largely caused by genetics.
World-first drug lowers genetic form of “bad cholesterol” by up to 65% Read more
A new study from Lund University in Sweden has found that using AI resulted in the detection of 20% more cancers compared with standard screening, without affecting false positives.
AI-supported mammography screening saves time & detects more cancer Read more
