Researchers have identified a molecular biomarker in triple negative breast cancer tumours which could inform when beta blockers can play a role in 'switching off' tumour progression. [ + ]

Brandon BioCatalyst has announced new board appointments to continue the scaling of Australian medical research into globally competitive biotech companies. [ + ]

Scientists have known for a while that methotrexate helps with inflammation, but it may also help lower blood pressure, which is a major risk factor for heart disease. [ + ]

Optical microscopy is a key technique for understanding dynamic biological processes in cells, but observing these high-speed cellular dynamics at high spatial resolution has long been a formidable task. [ + ]

A newly developed tool utilises AI to predict how cells repair their DNA after it is cut by gene editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9. [ + ]

Vaccination with either the recombinant herpes zoster vaccine or the live-attenuated zoster vaccine was associated with a statistically significant lower risk of stroke and heart attack compared to no vaccination. [ + ]

Victorian brain cancer researchers have used an innovative process to learn how a new drug suppresses tumour activity, providing hope to patients with low-grade gliomas (LGGs). [ + ]

From medicine to electronics and optics, new materials developed by scientists at Kaunas University of Technology can be applied in various fields where cleanliness, precision and durability are essential. [ + ]

Professor Edward Holmes has received the 2025 GSK Award for Research Excellence for his use of metatranscriptomics and artificial intelligence to identify viruses and improve diagnostics. [ + ]

Depression may not only result from simple neuronal damage but can also arise from the dysregulation of specific neural signalling pathways. [ + ]

Venom from northern and southern populations of eastern brown snake builds blood clots in very different ways, meaning the antivenom given to people bitten by these snakes may not be as effective as it could be. [ + ]

Over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen and paracetamol are quietly driving antibiotic resistance — what's more, they are amplifying it when used together. [ + ]

By analysing the DNA in cord blood from babies born to mothers with gestational diabetes, researchers have identified early epigenetic markers that forecast insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. [ + ]

A new study reveals that myocardial dysfunction is already evident in patients with bipolar disorder under 45 years of age before the onset of heart failure. [ + ]

Elevated levels of a lipoprotein known as Lp(a) impact an estimated one in five people worldwide and lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, the number one cause of death globally. [ + ]
