Researchers at the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) and the University Hospital of Schleswig-Holstein (UKSH) have made a significant breakthrough in the treatment of severe heart failure: For the first time, a clinical trial has demonstrated that laboratory-grown heart muscle tissue can improve the pumping function of damaged hearts.

Scientists have developed a powerful new technique that allows them to observe how individual cells manufacture proteins during aging, offering an unprecedented glimpse into the hidden molecular activity of stem cells in living tissue.

Brain tumor growth may depend not only on cancer-causing mutations, but also on the molecular conditions in specific brain regions.

In people with epilepsy, a new study has found a smartwatch application accurately detected tonic-clonic seizures, seizures with major convulsions, with a low rate of false alarms. The study was published in Neurology Open Access.

A single blood test could help doctors predict how lung cancer patients will respond to treatment before therapy begins, researchers have found. University of Queensland-led research focused on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the most common form of the disease, and showed how analyzing proteins in a blood sample could support earlier and better-informed treatment decisions.

The research, published in Molecular Psychiatry, points to a consistent biological pattern in many children with autism—elevated levels of specific metabolites in the gut.

A simple blood test could one day replace invasive biopsies for detecting acute cellular rejection (ACR) after lung transplantation, an American Journal of Transplantation study finds.
