The first major study of the burden of long-term medicine use has revealed that many patients want more information on the medicines they’re prescribed and greater say in the brands they use. […]
If you’re a woman and having a heart attack (what’s called in medical parlance an “acute myocardial infarction” or AMI), do your best to make sure you’re treated by a female physician. […]
A weakened version of the bacteria that causes cholera provides quick protection to rabbits. The vaccine may one day stop outbreaks of the deadly intestinal disease. A tricked-out cholera vaccine starts protecting […]
Nano-sized particles of gold could hold the key to the better diagnosis and treatment of leukaemia, thanks to ground-breaking research led by a University scientist. The study, led by Dr Vadim Sumbayev, of […]
Three brain development genes are found only in humans and may have helped drive the rapid expansion of the brain starting roughly three million years ago. A newly discovered set of genes […]
Microbial geneticists at KU Leuven have unravelled how a specific type of protein eliminates the hospital bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In the fight against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, scientists are constantly searching for new antibiotics. One […]
Neuroscientists from KU Leuven measure brainwaves to determine whether people understand what they hear. The new technique was developed by Professor Tom Francart and his colleagues from the Department of Neurosciences at […]
Researchers from the UK & Japan have identified how the brain’s natural painkilling system could be used as a possible alternative to opioids for the effective relief of chronic pain, which affects […]
Scientists harness a super assassin gene for new cancer treatment Patients with Huntington’s disease, a fatal genetic illness that causes the breakdown of nerve cells in the brain, have up to 80 […]
KU Leuven scientists present a new way to generate oligodendrocytes, building blocks of the brain that play a crucial role in neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and ALS. The method makes […]
An interferon cell receptor spurs cell suicide in mouse fetuses infected with Zika virus and could play a role in certain pregnancy complications. A powerful antiviral protein may act as a checkpoint […]
Recent advances in brain imaging have enabled scientists to show for the first time that a key protein which causes nerve cell death spreads throughout the brain in Alzheimer’s disease – and […]
A new marker that could be used to diagnose fatal breast cancer up to one year ahead of current methods has been identified in a study led by UCL. The study, published […]
A UCL-led research team has identified a rare mutation that causes one family to have unusually low sensitivity to pain. The researchers hope the findings, published today in Brain, could be used […]
