A new sorting system has been developed to quickly and efficiently separate gastruloids, offering a significant step forward in research on early human development.

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers found that the DASH4D diet, a modified version of the DASH diet tailored for type 2 diabetes, reduced systolic blood pressure by 5 points in individuals already using multiple antihypertensive medications.

Researchers have developed a new machine learning framework can predict with quantum-level accuracy how materials will respond to electric fields, up to the scale of one million atoms - dramatically speeding up simulations.

A new study making use of AI algorithms has shown that the brain's "reward center" operates in a much more sophisticated way than previously thought.

A study from King’s College London links gut bacteria changes to cognitive decline in Parkinson’s disease. The research suggests that oral-gut translocation, where harmful bacteria move from the mouth to the gut, may contribute to symptoms.

Now scientists have developed a way of modelling the volcano's behavior which could more effectively monitor potential eruptions and provide warning to people in the path of danger.

A new Phase 2 trial suggests that using an electric field device placed on the scalp, along with immunotherapy and chemotherapy may help patients with glioblastoma live longer – particularly those with large, inoperable tumors.

The findings, published in Neurology, suggest that changes associated with ageing may occur earlier than previously recognized in this population.

A study from the University of Waterloo found that passionate hockey fans experience heightened brain activity, particularly in the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, during key moments like offensive faceoffs.

A new portable device developed by Rutgers University researchers can detect genetic mutations linked to hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis in just 10 minutes. The device provides a rapid and accessible diagnostic tool for genetic diseases.
