A new research project aims to improve treatment for patients with prostate, breast and lung cancer through artificial intelligence. The consortium behind the project wants to develop healthcare evidence-generation practices for the incorporation of real-world evidence into clinical practice guidelines (CPGs).

Experts at the University of Waterloo’s Cheriton School of Computer Science have created a deep neural network that achieves 98 percent detection of peptide features in a dataset. That means scientists and medical practitioners have a greater chance of discovering possible diseases through tissue sample analysis.

During use some sunscreens offer very limited protection against dangerous sunrays and may even be harmful, a new collaborative study between the University of Leeds, the University of Oregon, and Oregon State University reveals.

A multi-disciplinary team of scientists at Lehigh University and the University of Lausanne discover and characterize a new mechanism by which the fission yeast cell acquires its tubular shape.

Using a state-of-the-art multi-column chromatography system provided by Sartorius Stedim Biotech, a team at McMaster University wants to “perfect” a process for the purification of therapeutic viruses that is more effective and cheaper than those currently available. This is to pave the way for new and more affordable treatments to reach patients with a variety of needs. “

The calories that US kids consumed from ultraprocessed foods jumped from 61 % to 67 % of total caloric intake from 1999 to 2018, according to a new study. Surprisingly, there were no statistically significant differences in the overall findings by parental education and family income.

They are often referred to as the “building blocks of life”: Biomolecules. To understand and use their function in the body, one must know their structure. A time-consuming and sometimes imprecise matter. This is where the new method comes in, which was developed at the UDE with other German research centres — with the help of artificial intelligence. The researchers have now published their results in Nature Machine Intelligence.

The life science group Sartorius and Brain Biotech intend to jointly research novel CRISPR-Cas genome editing nucleases. The goal is to find suitable solutions for specific applications in the life sciences sector.

A research team led by physicians of the Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences in Krems (KL Krems) uncovers a pivotal role for a regulator protein in tumour bone marrow angiogenesis.

According to a new study published in Science, fewer women hold biomedical patents, leading to a reduced number of patented technologies designed to address problems affecting women.
