A new, personalised heart modelling approach can predict abnormal heart rhythms and risk of sudden death in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and may help determine who might benefit from a defibrillator.
Immunosequencing of T cells, combined with machine learning techniques, may enable scientists to predict which patients will have early, strong protection against hepatitis B infection following vaccination.
Researchers have confirmed that contagious blood cancers can spread between different species of clams, raising concerns about the potential ecological threat posed by these diseases.
A study suggests that some butterfly and moth species may have evolved transparent patches on their wings as a dual defence system, and reveals an unexpected diversity of structures that enable this transparency.
A large-scale systematic investigation to replicate high-impact, preclinical cancer biology experiments identified barriers to conducting replications and observed weaker evidence for the findings compared with the original experiments. Unnecessary friction in the research process may be slowing the advancement of knowledge, solutions and treatments.
