Bacteria's 'mix-and-match' code could create new cancer-fighting drugs
A team of researchers at the University of Warwick and Monash University has solved a puzzle that has stumped drug developers for decades: how bacteria naturally create multiple versions of powerful cancer therapies. The breakthrough could accelerate the development of new treatm
Stepped alcohol treatment via telehealth reduces alcohol use
Stepped alcohol treatment (SAT) offered via telehealth helps people with chronic liver disease (CLD) reduce alcohol consumption, according to a study published online June 24 in Hepatology.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome patients improve with experimental monoclonal antibody
Doctors have few options for patients who develop a life-threatening lung condition called acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. A frequent cause of death during the COVID-19 pandemic, ARDS occurs when an inflammatory cascade triggered by infection or injury leaks fluid i
Urgent call for better access to personalized cancer care
A University of Queensland study has found that patient access to one of the most exciting frontiers in cancer treatment is being stalled because health systems struggle to accurately assess its cost-effectiveness. The study, "Assessing Value for Money in Theranostic Nuclear Medi
Innovative soft robotic heart offers new way to study disease and test life-saving devices
Researchers at UNSW Sydney have developed a fully synthetic soft robotic heart that reproduces the complex movements and internal structures of the human heart, opening the door to better treatments, safer medical devices and more personalized care.
Researchers improve analysis of molecules linked to Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering and the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory have shown how higher magnetic fields can improve analysis of the molecules linked to Alzheimer's disease, a finding that could aid the development of future treatments.
