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.

EU-backed researchers have developed and validated an innovative nano-biosensor that identifies and quantifies SARS-COV-2 antibodies in blood serum in under 15 minutes.

The brains of fruit flies can do things we usually only associate with mammals. According to a new study, these tiny insects possess attention, working memory and awareness capabilities.

Bringing together partners from five European countries, this EU-funded project is tasked with transforming the capacity for scientific excellence and innovation in cellular and molecular neuroscience at an important Ukrainian research institute.

EU-backed researchers are working to transform Europe’s diverse healthcare data sources into reliable evidence on the effects of medications used during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
