Engineers have pioneered a method to detect molecular vibrations using quantum sensors, potentially revolutionising early disease diagnosis.

Diabetes management: Improving early diagnosis and care to address the silent epidemic

Drs Francesc Xavier Cos Claramunt and Carmen Hurtado, representatives of the European Diabetes Forum (EUDF), discuss the prevalence and challenges associated with diabetes management and the health-related policies needed to support prevention and early diagnosis.

World’s first gene therapy for p47 Chronic Granulomatous Disease developed by UCL and GOSH

UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital have developed the world's first gene therapy for p47 Chronic Granulomatous Disease.

Multimorbidity, dementia, and frailty: Building integrated care for an ageing population

As more older adults live with dementia, frailty, and multiple long-term conditions, health and social care systems must adapt to deliver truly coordinated, person-centred support.

Stanford develops brain implant to decode inner speech in paralysis patients

Stanford researchers have created a brain-computer interface that translates imagined speech into text, enabling communication for individuals with severe paralysis.

Scientists at King's College London have created a toothpaste using human hair proteins that can rebuild damaged enamel.

AI-powered CRISPR tool enhances precision in gene editing

Researchers from the University of Zurich have developed an AI-driven gene editing method that improves DNA repair predictions, enabling more accurate and safer genome modifications.

Under-the-skin electrode enables real-world epilepsy seizure monitoring

King's College London researchers develop a minimally invasive under-the-skin electrode that allows continuous, real-world tracking of epilepsy seizures, improving diagnosis and treatment options.

Excessive screen time may raise kids’ risk of heart disease and diabetes

A new study links excessive screen time in children and teens to higher risks of high blood pressure, cholesterol, and insulin resistance, especially when sleep is limited.

Scientists find way to reverse nerve damage in rare ALS form

Researchers using patient-derived stem cells reveal a rare ALS mutation triggers a chronic stress response in motor neurons, blocking it reverses damage in lab models, paving the way for new treatment strategies.

New stroke drug cuts brain damage by 60% in early tests

A new experimental treatment has been shown to reduce brain damage from stroke by up to 60% in mice, raising hopes for a breakthrough in recovery outcomes.

Scientists uncover genetic clues to why some people age with frailty

Karolinska Institutet researchers analysed DNA from nearly one million people and found genetic variants tied to brain function, immune defence, and metabolism that raise the risk of frailty in old age.

Lupus symptoms ease with age as scientists uncover the surprising reason why

Scientists have found that lupus symptoms improve with age as immune system genes become less active, offering new insight into age-related treatment strategies.

Scientists grow a mini human brain that connects, glows, and thinks like the real thing
