New insights into cell metabolism and how it is altered in disease conditions
While cell metabolism is what helps cancer cells grow and proliferate, it may also hold the key to developing new ways to diagnose and treat the disease. But this requires that we first fully understand the inner workings of this hugely complex system – which is exactly what the EU-funded CancerFluxome project set out to do.
A new hope for treatment-resistant breast and ovarian cancer
The EU-funded TargetBRCA project has identified new ways to attack tumours that resist conventional treatments such as chemotherapy.
How do you farm mosquitoes?
Hanan Lepek, CEO at Senecio Robotics and all-round mosquito enthusiast, gives us a tour of his state-of-the-art mosquito farm.
Understanding what makes a strong, healthy bone
Using a new optimised sample preparation process, researchers can better understand the difference between healthy and dysfunctional bone mineralisation.
Regenerating a broken heart
Researchers take a deep dive into cardiac regeneration and its potential for repairing a damaged heart.
From CO2 waste to valuable methane and hydrogen
Researchers have developed a process that can recycle carbon dioxide stored deep underground and turn it into valuable energetic molecules.
Engaging with places to counteract urban homogeneity
With globalisation comes homogeneous urban areas – a homogeneity that researchers say has a direct impact on our ability to engage with places.
Positioning MRI as an Effective Prostate Cancer Screening Tool
Often exhibiting no symptoms until an advanced stage, prostate cancer remains a difficult disease to detect. While screening can help, current practices, which test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, lack specificity and can be elevated for reasons other than cancer. MRI has the potential to close this screening gap.
Direct-to-Consumer Imaging Centers Offer Whole Body Imaging With Little Context
For many people, the allure of addressing health issues before they are beyond medical treatment, can provide peace of mind. Marketing efforts used by whole-body imaging services tend to highlight “lifesaving diagnoses.” Unfortunately, such claims can be more hype than substance.
Ancient DNA sheds new light on the endangered African elephant
To help protect endangered African elephants today, one researcher is looking to the past.
Could we breed animals that don’t mind being eaten?
The moral case for consuming meat is complex, with a constant pressure for higher ethical standards. Our expert Tom Smulders discusses how science can help improve animal welfare.
Gantry-Free Cone-Beam CT Offers More Flexibility for Elbow Imaging
While elbow injuries are a common sight in the emergency room, quality images of those injuries can be difficult to achieve.
A natural, sustainable alternative to pesticides
Could nature hold the answer to developing a sustainable, environmentally friendly alternative to some of the problematic chemicals used by the agriculture sector? According to the EU-funded ZABIO project, the answer is ‘yes’.
Coated laser crystals to enhance Earth observation missions
The new synthetic coated Alexandrite laser crystals to be used in laser instruments for Earth observation missions are made entirely within the European Union.
A tactical deconfliction service for U-space users
A conflict detection and resolution service developed and demonstrated by the EU-funded TINDAiR project aims to ensure that the highly automated aircraft of the future can be safely integrated into crowded urban airspace.
