Researchers have created a machine-learning algorithm that can detect subtle signs of osteoarthritis, often missed by trained radiologists, on an MRI scan taken years before symptoms even begin.

Breaks in our DNA, which can occur spontaneously or result from irradiation or chemical insults, can lead to severe problems since they foster mutations and can ultimately lead to cancer. One of the main DNA repair pathways involves copying the missing information on the damaged DNA from the replicated sister chromatid. For this to occur, the two DNA molecules of sister chromatids need to come close together at the exact same genomic position. The team around Daniel Gerlich developed a method that solves this problem.

University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers, led by Shahid Mukhtar, Ph.D., associate professor of biology in the UAB College of Arts and Sciences, have now built an interactome that includes the lung-epithelial cell host interactome integrated with a SARS-CoV-2 interactome.

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a technique in which a computer models visual perception by monitoring human brain signals. In a way, it is as if the computer tries to imagine what a human is thinking about. As a result of this imagining, the computer is able to produce entirely new information, such as fictional images that were never before seen.

In a new paper published in the Journal of Research in Science Teaching, researchers took a closer look at a coding camp for middle school girls and found that nuanced interactions between teachers and campers as well as among the girls themselves impacted how girls viewed themselves as coders.

HSE University researchers have confirmed that the level of phonological processing skills in children can impact their ability to master reading.

On December 31, 2019, the first cases of a novel coronavirus were identified in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China. Here, we curate a collection of news and content related to the outbreak.

The COVID-19 pandemic has unveiled a pressing issue – the need to develop effective drugs rapidly. But developing a new drug is easier said than done. Technologies such as microfluidics, robotics and the use of artificial intelligence, combined with automated data analysis, can expedite the drug development and approval process, helping make therapies available to patients more quickly.

Patient data is one of our most valuable resources for understanding health and tackling disease. However, we must ensure that sensitive patient data is kept safe and secure while it’s being used for research. In this article, Health Data Research UK’s chief technology expert, Gerry Reilly, discusses the key development in health data research security: Trusted Research Environments.

Clinical trials are a significant milestone in the development of innovative drugs and therapies for people diagnosed with different medical conditions including multiple sclerosis (MS). In this article, we examine how technology can make it easier for people to find and enroll on clinical trials.

A profile piece exploring the life and career of the molecular biologist Professor Oded Rechavi.

In this article we bring together resources from the across the site on gas chromatography, how it works, its pairing with downstream techniques and what its applications are.
