Inspired by the enhanced visual system of the Papilio xuthus butterfly, a team of researchers have developed an imaging sensor capable of “seeing” into the UV range inaccessible to human eyes.

Knowledge engineering methods could reduce the number of misdiagnoses by combining the diagnoses of multiple clinicians, reports new research.

An international team of researchers has discovered that formaldehyde, a widely spread pollutant and common metabolite in our body, interferes in the epigenetic programming of the cell.

Brain health in over 50s deteriorated more rapidly during the pandemic, even if they didn’t have COVID-19, reports a new study that links the pandemic to sustained cognitive decline.

A virus diagnosis device that gives lab-quality results within just three minutes has been invented by engineers at the University of Bath, who describe it as the ‘world’s fastest Covid test’.

New research combining computer modeling and experiments with macaques shows the body’s immune system helps control human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections largely by suppressing viral production in already infected cells.

Most cancers become deadly by keeping a low profile, causing no symptoms until they’re too advanced to treat. Researchers have developed a highly sensitive blood test that can detect a key protein produced by cancer cells.

When COVID-19 began to spread across the globe, its effects were significantly pronounced on cruise ships. That’s why focus has been directed at addressing the need for improved ventilation on cruise ships.

A fingerprick blood test that identifies a transcriptomic signature could offer an easy, quick way to diagnose TB in children, which is among the top 10 causes of child death.

Researchers have shown that dengue virus can disrupt the immune system in children, leading to more severe disease. These results could lead to better diagnosis and treatment.
