A study conducted at the University of Oulu and Oulu University Hospital suggests that factors related to maternal weight are reflected in signaling particles produced by the maternal microbiota not only in the gut but also in amniotic fluid.

A study by the University of Barcelona has discovered why the two main types of lung cancer — adenocarcinoma of the lung and squamous cell carcinoma — respond differently to anti-angiogenic therapy, that is, drugs that block the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need in order to grow.

The team from the BHF Data Science Centre at Health Data Research UK and the University of Liverpool say this type of analysis can offer opportunities for smarter and safer prescribing in their study published in the journal Nature Health.

Metabolic and bariatric surgery for teens with severe obesity was found to be cost-effective over 10 years, according to the new analysis from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago published in JAMA Network Open.

Dual-target CAR T cell therapy for recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), delivered directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), triggers a broad immune response, with natural killer (NK) cell activation linked to better patient outcomes and longer overall survival.

Controlling a robotic arm, a prosthetic hand, or a rehabilitation device is harder than it looks. Picking up an egg, for example, requires just the right amount of force: too little and it falls, too much and it breaks.
