FDA just lost a gem as Scott Gottlieb resigns

Relations between the central nervous system and the trillions of bacteria in the gut are being targeted for research. What we know so far is based on studies indicating links between specific gut bacteria, their metabolites and neurological symptoms. However these links do not prove cause and effect. Many studies ...

The differences between the ‘software’ of humans and monkey brains have been disclosed by neuroscientists for the very first time using a technique that tracks single neurons. They found that brains of human compromise robustness for greater efficiency in processing of information. The results might help in explain...

Doctors now have a new weapon in the fight against cancer: detailed maps of the cells in a tumour that can be explored and analyzed in a virtual reality simulation that its creators say provides researchers with an intuitive new way to examine complex medical data that could lead to unexpected breakthroughs. Bui...

A survey was done in which thousands of advanced cancers indicated a way to detect those that respond to revolutionary therapies that unleash an immune response against tumours. However, the results show difficulty level to translate an approach into a reliable clinical test. The findings are the latest evidence to...

Breast cancer develops when breast tissue cells grow abnormally and multiply. In essence, the hormones-- estrogen and progesterone-- and excess levels of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) protein are the known drivers of breast cancer. By testing samples of breast cancer tissue for hormone receptors a...

In what could be regarded as a first of its kind, researchers from the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing at the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom have recently reported that they created two machine learning models that are able to precisely predict the severity of three common symptoms ...
