Artificial intelligence improves biomedical imaging
Researchers use artificial intelligence to improve quality of images recorded by a relatively new biomedical imaging method. This paves the way towards more accurate diagnosis and cost-effective devices.
Read moreMen with prostate cancer can be spared radiotherapy after surgery, study suggests
Men with prostate cancer can be spared radiotherapy after surgery, according to new results. The study answers a longstanding question about whether the benefits of radiotherapy after surgery outweigh the side-effects.
Read moreGoing with the (slow) flow: New technique could improve biotech, precision medicine
Researchers have developed an optical system that accurately measures the flow of extraordinarily tiny amounts of liquids — as small as 10 billionths of a liter (nanoliters) per minute.
Read moreTechnique can image individual proteins within synapses
Researchers have devised a new way to rapidly image synaptic proteins at high resolution. Using fluorescent nucleic acid probes, they can label and image as many as 12 different proteins in neuronal samples containing thousands of synapses.

Researchers have developed a tiny nanolaser that can function inside of living tissues without harming them.
Mummy study: Heart disease was bigger issue for human ancestors than initially thought
A new imaging study of the mummified arteries of people who lived thousands of years ago revealed that their arteries were more clogged than originally thought, according to a proof-of-concept study.
