Towards ‘Zero Leprosy’ – model shows 40 million people need preventive treatment

March 5, 2021
As the world considers strategies towards 'Zero COVID', research specialists also continue to work on eliminating the many other infectious diseases we have learned to 'live with'. Now, new research...

Ultra-high definition predictive brain tool to guide surgery in drug-resistant epilepsy patients

February 25, 2021
A third of epilepsy cases are drug resistant and removal of the area of the brain where seizures emerge is the only treatment option. Now, a new tool offering high...

Mapping neural dynamics: Making sense of mass neuron-generated data

February 19, 2021
How do animals process information and adapt to environmental change? New research applies AI driven information geometry to capture network correlations, simplify neural mapping and enable advanced calculation methods for...

Robotic system outSTRIPs all previous COVID testing systems

February 9, 2021
A live laboratory setup in the Netherlands demonstrates that five robots could accurately process and track 100,000 SARS-CoV-2 PCR tests a day, relieving the burden on overloaded laboratory personnel and...

Cell shape influences antibiotic resistance

February 3, 2021
A broad, curvy shape has a lower surface-to-volume ratio and is less susceptible to surface invasion. So, being wide and curvatious helps bacteria survive antibiotics, continue to grow, and adapt...

Robotic exoskeleton training expands options for stroke rehabilitation

February 2, 2021
It must be hard enough to recover from an acute stroke, but many find the physical taxation of rehabilitation exercises incredibly challenging. Retraining the brain to drive the complex processes...

Meet the baby tyrannosaurs – dog-sized and looking just like mum and dad

January 29, 2021
Imagine mini tyrannosaurs running around your legs like collie dogs! They may have grown to 40 feet as adults, but baby tyrannosaurs looked like their parents when they first hatched...

Why cells don’t get stuck – generalised cell migration and motility modelled mathematically

January 22, 2021
Cell movement has now been mathematically modelled by an interdisciplinary team of theoretical and experimental physicists. Understanding this fundamental process will allow scientists to predict cell behaviours and improve targeted...

Modelling system evolution dynamics for better ecosystem management

January 20, 2021
Imagine being able to stop species becoming unexpectedly endangered in the first place... Researchers have demonstrated that ecosystem management can be modelled to highlight potential adjustments to ongoing control strategies...

Laser-triggered chemical adhesion for tissue engineering of replacement organs

January 19, 2021
Laser-triggered chemical adhesion used to build proteins onto biological polymer scaffolding to bring artificial but functional, laboratory-grown replacement organs one step closer to a reality. Researchers have found lasers and...
