Scientists make improvements to AI pipeline used to diagnose genetic diseases
Building on previous research, scientists have made improvements to an artificial intelligence pipeline used to diagnose genetic diseases via blood samples obtained from gravely ill infants.
Method for radiolabelling antibodies against breast cancer developed
Researchers from the University of Zurich have created a new method for radiolabelling antibodies using UV light - with proteins being ready-to-use for cancer imaging or therapy in less than 15 minutes.
Heme-sequestering peptides may help stall lung cancer
Scientists have demonstrated that the growth rate of the majority of lung cancer cells relates directly to the availability of a crucial oxygen-metabolising molecule.
New technique developed to expand multimodal single cell analysis
A new technique, called ECCITE-seq, has been developed to allow researchers to perform high-throughput measurements of multiple modalities of information from single cells.

Scientists restore functions in pig’s brain hours after death
Scientists have reported circulation and cellular activity being restored in a pig's brain four hours after its death, challenging long-held assumptions about the timing and irreversible nature of the cessation of some brain functions after death.
New study finally explains the link between inflammation and gastric cancer
Researchers have finally shown how inflammation caused by H. pylori infection causes the proliferation of gastric epithelial stem cells, leading to gastric tumours.
