Bioengineers have successfully developed sensors as fine as spider's silk. Researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK say the extremely light sensors could be used to monitor human health, such as heartbeats, or to detect detailed changes in the environment. The sensors are 50 times thinner than human hair and so lightweight that the scientists were able to print the fibre directly onto a dandelion without it collapsing. In a recently published study, the sensor was tested to pick up signals such as heartbeats in the same way as an electrocardiogram (ECG). The research team says the ...

It takes a decade on average before a new medication arrives on the market. Now, the French start-up Yseop is trying to use generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) to speed up the process. Clinical trials often generate a huge amount of data, and it’s the job of medical writers to generate clinical trial protocols and final reports. How are new AI tools being used in doctors' offices?"They have to report how the clinical trial went, who the participants are, the details of the participants and they have to give details [about] the manufacturing, the stability of the manufacturing, the quali...

A new study has found that our brains are getting larger, which could be good news for reducing dementia risk. Researchers from the University of California analysed data from a cohort in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) which started in 1948 in the US and originally consisted of 5,209 men and women between the ages of 30 and 62. The study has continued for 75 years, meaning that it now includes participants born during the 1930s through the 1970s. Though it was originally designed to study cardiovascular diseases, the researchers focused on MRI results of more than 3,200 people. Published in ...

Researchers have identified new drug candidates that may be able to prevent HIV-infected cells from escaping detection by the immune system. A team from the Univerisity of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in the US made the discovery. Current therapy, called antiretroviral therapy, prevents HIV from multiplying which reduces the virus’ amount in the body to an undetectable level but it isn’t a cure. “We have excellent antiretroviral drugs that suppress HIV, but unfortunately, none of them clear the virus. If someone with HIV stops taking their medication, the infection will rebound,” Thomas Smith...

Researchers have developed a test that could detect colorectal cancer with 83 per cent accuracy using a simple blood sample, according to a new study. The blood test’s high accuracy is comparable to current at-home stool tests. The team published their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine. “The results of the study are a promising step toward developing more convenient tools to detect colorectal cancer early while it is more easily treated,” William M Grady, a gastroenterologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center based in Seattle in the US, said in a statement. “The test, which has an...
