The microorganisms in our intestines play an important role in many bodily processes, from digestion to emotions, and are a key factor in our overall health.

Researchers at Imperial are to develop technologies to enable people living with dementia to live independently for longer.

Tucked in the back of the Microbiome and Probiotic Research Lab at St. Joseph's hospital sits the fly room - a small space that houses even smaller insects whose microscopic innards could hold clues into the link between antibiotic use and the formation of kidney stones.

A research consortium involving the TU Ilmenau has just launched a project to enable the early detection of lung cancer. With the help of a mobile respiratory diagnostic device, the human exhaled gas is to be analyzed with the aid of AI in order to detect signs of lung cancer earlier and more gently than before.

Researchers at the University of Glasgow have secured industry sponsorship to accelerate the pre-clinical development of a novel precision therapy which may one day offer a new treatment option for patients living with cancers such as Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and Neuroblastoma.

GPs who conduct their surgeries in the flesh are more likely to have satisfied patients according to a new study by University of Manchester researchers.

A technique to improve the precision of prostate cancer surgery means that almost twice as many men preserve their erectile function compared to those undergoing standard surgery, according to results from a clinical trial led by researchers from UCL and UCLH.

Nathalie Labrecque and her colleagues have discovered that NOTCH signaling is essential for the differentiation of CD8+ T lymphocytes, optimizing their immune response to infections. Ten years of substantial work by Université de Montréal immunologist Nathalie Labrecque's team at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) and the Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital Research Center have shed new light on the mechanisms governing an effective immune response to infections.

In an international study led by an UdeM nutritionist, healthy eating in midlife is found to be linked to overall healthy aging. Maintaining a healthy diet rich in plant-based foods, with low to moderate intake of animal-based foods and less of ultra-processed foods, is linked to a higher likelihood of healthy aging, a new international study led by an Université de Montréal nutritionist suggests.

Bonn researchers develop a versatile toolbox for the characterization of IRESes in cells The research field of "cellular IRESes" lay dormant for decades, as there was no uniform standard of reliable

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers at the University of Basel have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria at unprecedented resolution. They discovered that the proteins responsible for energy generation assemble into large "supercomplexes", which play a crucial role in providing the cell's energy.

Blandine Emilien and Patrice Jalette paint a troubling picture of the conditions faced by labourers brought in to this country on federal work permits.

TU/e PhD candidate Lotte Ewals involves patients in her research on earlier detection of pancreatic cancer.

Smoking rates have fallen more quickly in the north of England compared to other regions, according to a new study led by UCL researchers.

The latest advance in wearable robotic technology promises to solve a 200-year-old problem by revolutionising the fit of prosthetic limbs. The new material, 'Roliner,' offers amputees the power to change the shape, volume, and stiffness of the liner that is used to attach a prosthetic limb's socket to a residual leg.

Dr. George Shaker has huge hopes for a small radar device he developed with a team of researchers at the University of Waterloo. An engineer who has pursued the possibilities of radio waves for more than 20 years, Shaker envisions the installation of the silent, unobtrusive system almost everywhere people sit to help detect heart problems before they become life-threatening.

When it comes to getting along together, trust plays an indispensable role. While we all'have an intuitive grasp of what this interpersonal investment involves, even science struggles to express exactly how it works.

Trust in AI models is about more than just technical performance - ethical principles and human values are equally important. Trust is, at its core, a deeply human phenomenon. When we step onto a bus, it's the driver we trust to bring us safely to our destination - but what about the bus? Can we place the same trust in it as we do in people? Or is all we ask of technology that it functions reliably? And what about when artificial intelligence takes the wheel? "Absolutely.

University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland, School of Applied Psychology A recent study by the FHNW School of Applied Psychology and the University of Neuchâtel sheds light on the advantages and disadvantages and provides tips on design.

Flawed data, skewed results: how stereotypes in datasets affect artificial intelligence, impacting society.

In a new Canadian study, 25 teens and young adults who've gone back to the gender they were assigned at birth or now identify differently say they don't think the media represent them fairly.

Danika Kelly realized there was a lack of data regarding female physiology when she tried to research brain injuries in female alpine athletes.
