A new study, led by experts at the University of Nottingham, has found that the Covid-19 pandemic may have accelerated people’s brain health, even if they were never infected with the virus.
Molecules exhaled in the breath may help detect blood cancer, according to new research from Queen Mary University of London. The findings could enable the development of a blood cancer breathalyser, providing a rapid, low-cost way to detect disease. This tool may be particularly useful for areas with limited access to specialist equipment or expertise.
Researchers from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine have developed lab-grown skin that replicates the complexity of scleroderma. Made from patient-derived cells, the 3D tissue model increases understanding of how this and fibrotic diseases progress.
Michigan Medicine researchers found that urgent care centers fill prescriptions despite being "never appropriate" or "generally inappropriate" given the patients' diagnoses.
A promising breakthrough in cancer treatment is taking shape at the University of Missouri Research Reactor (MURR), where scientists are developing a powerful radioisotope that could one day precisely target and destroy cancer cells. A recent study led by Heather Hennkens, an associate professor at Mizzou’s Department of Chemistry and a researcher at MURR, investigated how to produce, purify and formulate Terbium-161 for radiopharmaceutical use. Through this work, Hennkens’ lab is optimizing the radioisotope so it can be effectively attached to a targeting molecule and sent as the therapeutic “payload” to destroy tumor cells.
More accurate measures are needed to help diagnose children with sepsis as a current clinical tool is failing to detect those requiring hospital care, according to a new MCRI-led study.
