How has the quality of information on COVID-19 vaccines affected the vaccination campaign in the United States? An EU-backed study analyses the data.

Here for the flu? Let me check your heart rhythm. An EU-backed survey sheds light on atrial fibrillation (A-fib) screening in daily clinical practice, and how important primary care physicians think it is.

Framework proposes how to more effectively use and disseminate routine healthcare data for clinical research.

What happens to cells during traumatic brain injury or skin scarring? EU-backed scientists have developed a new experimental method based on soft magneto-active polymers to study cell behaviour.

A new study has reassuring news about those conceived with the aid of assisted reproductive technology (ART). Any differences in growth, weight and body fat levels disappear by late adolescence.

New scientific results are paving the way to new cell therapies. Scientists have shown that macrophages can be grown in large numbers in the lab, and these immune cells cannot be told apart from their counterparts in the lung when they are put back into the body.

Researchers have designed a platform for testing drugs that could be used to treat brain metastasis. Called METPlatform, the screening system allows scientists to analyse cancer patients’ own tumour tissue.

Heart failure arises from mutations in distinct genes, according to a new study. Will this pave the way to better, personalised treatment for patients?

In a first, researchers have developed stem cell lines from pigs, sheep and cattle, laying the groundwork for the manufacture of cultured meat.

A new open-source software for simulating and analysing brain network models is lowering the barriers to brain research, through brain simulation as a cloud service.

A novel concept showing how to convert infrared light to visible light is opening the way to new low-cost sensing technology.

The TBMED project aims to bring life-changing medical devices to market faster, without compromising on essential safety procedures.

In today’s energy crisis, an EU-backed project’s smart sensors are helping Europe’s food SMEs slash their energy costs.

From days to just hours: Researchers have created the first efficient and selective biocatalyst for a powerful, but usually slow organic reaction.

A new bio-based polymer could be good news for the environment. A recent assessment of its industrial production and use in bottles points to potentially major reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

An EU-backed trial recruited 100 patients suffering from severe breathlessness to find the answer.

Researchers have used deep learning technologies to measure changes in people’s consciousness during sleep, general anaesthesia and severe brain injury.

EU-backed scientists have used simplified miniature models of the human brain to understand how mutations in a high-risk autism gene affect brain development.

Our warming planet will lead to more frequent extremes in hot or dry weather. But what happens to make both droughts and heat waves occur together, and how does precipitation affect this? A recent study explains.

EU backing has helped to scale up production of a new microalgae strain with a higher protein content and better organoleptic properties than the wild type.
