A new study, published in Aging Cell, has found that human aging processes may hinder cancer development.

Immune therapy added to chemotherapy improves pathological complete response in patients with early triple negative breast cancer, according to trial results presented at the 2019 ESMO conference.

A new blood test in development has shown ability to screen for numerous types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy, a trial of the test shows.

A new type of vaccine that can be stored at warmer temperatures, removing the need for refrigeration, has been developed for mosquito-borne virus Chikungunya in a major advance in vaccine technology.

Biochemists have identified a promising new class of antibiotics. Having studied over 125,000 molecules, they found that 2-pyrazol-1-yl-thiazole derivatives exhibit antibacterial properties. One of the discovered compounds has demonstrated a good activity and low cytotoxicity, and thus can serve as a prototype in further studies.

Researchers have developed a hyper-realistic model of the human hand's musculoskeletal system in motion.

An international research team has identified several novel genetic variants associated with plasma levels of lipid species and cardiovascular disease risk in humans. The study demonstrates that genetic studies focusing on circulating molecular lipid levels over traditional lipid measures can help improve cardiovascular risk prediction and treatment.

For the first time, AI has been used to accurately predict side effects associated with radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.

Researchers have developed a soft, flexible artificial skin made of silicone and electrodes. The skin's system of soft sensors and actuators enable the artificial skin to conform to the exact shape of a wearer's wrist. Strain sensors continuously measure the skin's deformation so that the haptic feedback can be adjusted in real time to produce a sense of touch that's as realistic as possible.

Air pollution is linked to an increased risk of death in babies according to a study of nearly eight million live births.
