A new AI model developed at Stanford can analyse data from a single night’s sleep to predict the risk of more than 100 diseases — years before symptoms appear — opening a new window on preventive and precision medicine.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have discovered a way to make mRNA vaccines safer and more effective — by adding anti-inflammatory molecules inspired by olive oil. Their new lipid design not only reduces side effects like soreness and fatigue but also boosts vaccine performance against diseases like Covid-19 and cancer.

A chemistry breakthrough has been achieved by chemists wherein they can make substitutes of the Tamoxifen drug which is used to prevent breast cancer in women and men. The new drug alternatives have the potential to be more effective and also have less side effects.

Researchers have recently tested a Crispr/Cas9 gene-editing technique to help the immune system in a person’s body to fight advanced gastrointestinal cancers. The results have revealed promising signs of safety and potential effectiveness of the treatment.

A large Danish study suggests the source of dietary nitrate may matter for brain health. Researchers found higher nitrate intake from vegetables was linked to a lower risk of dementia, while nitrate from drinking water and animal-based foods was associated with a higher risk.

Biophysicists have developed a new AI tool which has the capacity to identify gene combinations underlying complex illnesses like diabetes, cancer and asthma.

How do cells fix their most dangerous DNA breaks without causing chaos? USC researchers have uncovered a surprising role for the protein Nup98, which forms protective droplets that guide precise DNA repair — a discovery with major implications for cancer and aging therapies.

New findings have revealed that a FDA approved menopause drug may also help to prevent invasive breast cancer. Dr. Swati Kulkarni, lead investigator and professor of breast surgery at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine is the brain behind this.

In a new study, researchers have integrated data from all three types of genetic testing to create a 360-degree view of disease risk. Their approach identifies rare mutations, evaluates cumulative genetic influences and uncovers hidden patterns in the full genome.

Modern laboratory diagnostics is the first step toward successful patient treatment. During the MEDICA LABMED FORUM from November 17 to 20, experts will discuss what will shape laboratory medicine in the coming years.
