Scientists developed a whole-body reperfusion system that partially revived pig organs up to an hour after death, which could reap benefits for human transplant medicine.
Over half of all infectious diseases that affect humans worldwide can be aggravated by climate change, which highlights the urgency of tough climate action and mitigation measures.
Hematopoietic stem-cell gene therapy has proven to be an effective treatment for several primary immunodeficiencies, and yet companies in this space are withdrawing from the EU market. Technological and regulatory innovations and a change to cost–benefit models are needed so that rare disease patients can receive these life-saving medicines.
Ultrasounds can provide a wealth of information on organ function and disease; now scientists have engineered a stick-on wearable ultrasound device for continuous monitoring.
Pfizer had successes during COVID-19 by streamlining decisions and running several steps in parallel, a lightspeed approach that can be applied to other diseases.
Greater emphasis on reproducibility and reusability will advance computational pathology quickly and sustainably, ultimately optimizing clinical workflows and benefiting patient health.
Pigs offer a potentially plentiful supply of organs for humans, but widespread xenotransplantation will require a collaborative and iterative approach to research, as well as involvement of transplant patients and the public.
A large study in India showed that gender-based police interventions — including training, outreach and dedicated spaces staffed by female officers — led to increased reporting of violence against women.
Cholera is endemic in 47 countries, but deaths from this disease can be eliminated with a package of low-cost measures implemented by community healthcare workers.
The US Supreme Court’s majority decision to overturn the constitutional protection of the right to seek an abortion threatens the health of all Americans.
Tympanometers to test for ear disorders are costly, so scientists developed a portable and cheap smartphone-based tympanometer for use in resource-limited settings.
A study in mice reveals the neuronal mechanisms behind music-induced analgesia, providing a basis for further research and development of alternative pain interventions in humans.
