Researchers use AI to detect cancer

Researchers use AI to detect cancer

On World Cancer Day, attention is turning to a world-first trial showing that artificial intelligence is helping doctors identify more cases of breast cancer during routine screenings. Researchers in Sweden say the results could lead to wider use of AI to ease the workload of radiologists, while emphasising that the technology is designed to support clinicians rather than replace them. Charlotte Lam and Elliot Samuel have more.

Engineered antibody targets bacteria-specific sugar, clears lethal drug-resistant infection in mice

Engineered antibody targets bacteria-specific sugar, clears lethal drug-resistant infection in mice

Australian researchers have developed a powerful new way to target deadly, drug-resistant bacteria by designing antibodies that recognize a sugar found only on bacterial cells—an advance that could underpin a new generation of immunotherapies for multidrug resistant hospital-acquired infections.

Genetic analysis of Deep Maniot Greeks reveals a unique lineage in the Balkans

Genetic analysis of Deep Maniot Greeks reveals a unique lineage in the Balkans

A new genetic study has revealed that the people of Deep Mani, who inhabit one of the remotest regions of mainland Greece, represent one of the most genetically distinctive populations in Europe, shaped by more than a millennium of isolation. The findings, published in Communications Biology, reveal that many lineages can be traced back to the Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman period of Greece.
