[ad_1] Published in the journal Biomaterials, this represents an important step forward in being able to carry out medical research without the use of animals. This crucial research was funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. Novel bioengineering The study details the efficacy of […]

[ad_1] An international trial found that patients with early-stage breast cancer who underwent a mastectomy, removal of the breast, had similar 10-year survival rates whether or not they received radiotherapy. The trial was funded by the Medical Research Council (MRC). Guiding treatment discussions Experts say the findings should help guide treatment discussions, as many patients […]

[ad_1] Five initiatives have today been announced that will bring together a fragmented health data landscape. They will receive investment from the UKRI Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). One of the schemes, the Open Psychiatry Project, will bring together diverse datasets on how genes, cells and […]

[ad_1] The study tested how homes using smart air source heat pumps could automatically adjust their usage to balance the grid during peak demand periods. The study funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) was led by researchers from the University of Southampton’s Energy and Climate Change Division in collaboration with Good Energy. […]

[ad_1] In the new study, researchers demonstrated that the human brain falls asleep abruptly, rather than gradually, with a ‘tipping point’ marking the transition from wakefulness into sleep. They were then able to predict the momentary progression into sleep with unprecedented accuracy. The study is published today in the journal ‘Nature Neuroscience’. Improving brain health […]
