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.

The EU-funded TargetBRCA project has identified new ways to attack tumours that resist conventional treatments such as chemotherapy.

Hanan Lepek, CEO at Senecio Robotics and all-round mosquito enthusiast, gives us a tour of his state-of-the-art mosquito farm.

Using a new optimised sample preparation process, researchers can better understand the difference between healthy and dysfunctional bone mineralisation.

Researchers take a deep dive into cardiac regeneration and its potential for repairing a damaged heart.

Researchers have developed a process that can recycle carbon dioxide stored deep underground and turn it into valuable energetic molecules.

With globalisation comes homogeneous urban areas – a homogeneity that researchers say has a direct impact on our ability to engage with places.

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.

Active surveillance is a conservative management approach that is increasingly being used for patients with low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

'History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme' is a quote often credited to Mark Twain. But regardless of the saying's origin, the notion touches on the point that while we may view today's events, discoveries and circumstances as being unprecedented, upon closer examination, one will likely find that everything has some historic precedent.
Radiology is no exception.

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.

To help protect endangered African elephants today, one researcher is looking to the past.

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.

While elbow injuries are a common sight in the emergency room, quality images of those injuries can be difficult to achieve.

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’.
