Researchers have shown that all immature gut cells can develop into stem cells. The findings could help improve stem cell therapy.

Scientists have teamed up with engineers to develop a new type of coronary stent based on antibodies to improve its integration into blood vessels.

All cells in the foetal gut have the potential to develop into stem cells, a new study published in ‘Nature’ and conducted at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences at the University of Copenhagen concludes, a partner in the EU-funded INTENS (INtestinal Tissue ENgineering Solution) project. The researchers discovered that the development of immature intestinal cells is not predetermined but is instead affected by the cells’ immediate surroundings in the intestines.

Can an earlier dengue virus infection reduce the risk of Zika-related foetal damage? Yes, say EU-funded researchers.

Could this be the beginning of the end for bypass surgery? Researchers have developed a novel medical device that helps diseased areas of arteries to regenerate.

New research provides alternative approaches to combination cancer therapies. The findings may help combat tumours more effectively.

How can personalised prevention of breast cancer be achieved? EU-funded researchers conducted a workshop in search of a vision.

Online deceit can harm society at every level. The 11th World Conference of Science Journalists (WCSJ) in Lausanne has aired how the communication curse can undermine public health.

Scientists are one step closer to developing a sophisticated prosthesis that can be directly controlled by the thoughts of amputees.

An EU initiative has made further progress in providing equitable access to safe surgery for rural populations in three African countries.

Researchers have identified a protein that can help develop a cure for pain caused by nerve injury or disease.

Researchers have developed and tested a novel approach for tackling melanoma.

By using nanocapsules, scientists and industrial partners are developing innovative garments and skin products that provide thermal comfort, and anti-ageing and antimicrobial properties.

Researchers have developed an antimicrobial adhesive material that could be used on hospital walls and floors to minimise contamination.
