Researchers at McGill University and the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (RI-MUHC) have developed a novel device to transplant insulin-producing cells that integrates directly with existing blood vessels in the body.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), affecting an estimated 6–8 million people worldwide, may soon be monitored with a simple stool test instead of invasive procedures.

A higher dietary intake of soy and legumes is linked to a lower risk of high blood pressure, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published in the open access journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health.

In a finding that challenges decades of assumptions about blood cancer, an international research team has shown for the first time that a specific subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), which is the most common blood cancer in adults, is dramatically more lethal in women than in men.

A finger prick blood test combined with online brain testing—all done from home—could one day effectively identify people’s risk of developing dementia, according to a new study.

When the human heart is damaged by a heart attack, stiff scar tissue eventually forms around the affected areas. This weakens the heart’s pumping ability and increases the risk of heart failure and arrhythmias. Zebrafish, by contrast, can regenerate their hearts completely.

QIMR Berghofer scientists have developed an AI screening tool that harnesses the power of cutting-edge spatial biology analysis to give pathologists “super vision” to detect hidden genetic markers of cancer in standard patient tissue samples.
