And it's way past time everyone got pissed about this.

British scientists may have discovered a cure for cancer — by accident. As The Telegraph reports, “Researchers at Cardiff University were analyzing blood from a bank in Wales, looking for immune cells that could fight bacteria, when they found an entirely new type of T-cell. That new immune cell carries a never-before-seen receptor which acts like a grappling hook, latching on to most human cancers, while ignoring healthy cells.”

The new decade opened with some intriguing news: the journal Nature reported that artificial intelligence was better at identifying breast cancers on mammograms than radiologists. Researchers at Google Health teamed up with academic medical centers in the United States and Britain to train an AI system using tens of thousands of mammograms.

Jade DeLucia, 4, of Iowa may be going home today after a bout of the flu landed her in the intensive care unit fighting for her life and her eyesight.

The genetics testing company 23andMe licensed the rights to a drug it developed in-house to a Spanish pharmaceutical company, Bloomberg reported. This is the first time that the company has directly sold a product it created using the genetic information collected from users.

Hospitals trial intelligent machines to improve cancer detection and results so far are promising.

An accumulation of T cells and astrocytes in postmortem brain tissue hints at possible autoimmune origins for many cases of autism.

There’s plenty of hype around AI and we will see some disappointments. But in the case of drug discovery, this technology has already had a significant effect.

Research has shown that the bacterial composition of the gut may differ in people with IBS. HMOs selectively nourish the “good bacteria,” enabling them to flourish and improve the body’s gut barrier.

Cancer death rates have declined steadily over the past several decades, falling by nearly a third since the early 1990s, according to a report published Wednesday by the American Cancer Society. From 1991 to 2017, overall cancer deaths dropped by 29 percent, estimated at nearly 3 million avoided deaths.

Augmented reality will soon be used to give surgeons a type of x-ray vision -- and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has just given it the green light. Augmedics' new Xvision Spine System lets surgeons visualize the 3D spinal anatomy of a patient while operating.

In January, we broke the news that we may finally know what causes Alzheimer’s disease. For decades, it had been thought that the condition is caused by a protein called beta-amyloid going awry in the brain. But in 2019, evidence pointed the finger elsewhere: at Porphyromonas gingivalis, a type of bacteria involved in gum disease.

This stifling of competing ideas, say a growing number of scholars, is a big reason why there is no treatment for Alzheimer’s.

The cancer death rate in the United States continues to decline for the 26th year in a row, with the largest ever single-year drop of 2.2% in overall cancer deaths from 2016 to 2017, according to a new report.

The UK government is taking part in a pioneering international aid project which could see consignments of maggots sent to crisis zones such as Syria as a simple and effective way to clean wounds, it has been announced.

They’ve been linked to road rage, pathological gambling, and complicated acts of fraud. It turns out many ordinary medications don’t just affect our bodies – they affect our brains.

If you like an idea of scheduling an appointment online and seeing your doctor over a video conference, the telemedicine application platform is an excellent solution. Read our article and learn more about how we have created a telemedicine application platform for a medical company.

Is there a place for artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of medicine? Will doctors one day be replaced by robots? The answers are “yes” and “no,” respectively. AI—the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior—is poised to transform the practice of medicine as we know it. But it is a complementary technology, designed to enhance the performance of humans—including physicians, nurses and medical researchers—in doing their jobs.

There are few things more heartbreaking for a parent than having a sick child, especially when their child is sick during the first few months of their life. Researchers are hoping to help alleviate at least some of that burden through a new prototype technology that would allow sick babies to go home with their families much sooner.

Researchers have discovered a way to stop rabies from shutting down critical responses in the immune system, a breakthrough that could pave the way for new tools to fight the deadly disease. Rabies kills almost 60,000 people each year, mostly affecting poor and rural communities.
