Researchers uncovered a powerful weakness in lung cancer by shutting down a protein that helps tumours survive stress.

India's manufacturing landscape is undergoing a significant transformation, fueled by robust infrastructure development and supportive government policies, as revealed in a recent report by Cushman & Wakefield named Elevating India's Manufacturing Resilience: Charting the Path to Self-Reliance.

Researchers have developed eye drops that extend vision in animal models of a group of inherited diseases that lead to progressive vision loss in humans, known as retinitis pigmentosa.

Gels are commonly used products that are soft and sticky. They can be applied to hair or to the jelly-like components in various foodstuffs. While human skin shares gel-like characteristics, it has unique qualities that are very hard to replicate. It combines high stiffness with flexibility, and it has remarkable self-healing capabilities, often healing completely within 24 hours after injury.

Working towards more effective tuberculosis (TB) vaccinations, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have developed two strains of mycobacteria with "kill switches" that may be activated to stop the bacteria after they elicit an immune response.

Researchers have conducted one of the largest eye studies in the world to reveal new insights into retinal thickness, highlighting its potential in the early detection of diseases like type 2 diabetes, dementia and multiple sclerosis.

A recent study suggests that using an ocular ultrasound in the emergency room could help detect children with brain drainage tube failure quickly and safely.

A recent research titled "A meta-analysis of previous falls and subsequent fracture risk in cohort studies" discovered correlations between self-reported falls and increased fracture risk, as well as a slightly higher risk of fracture in men than in women.

According to a new study performed by UCL researchers, those who had amblyopia ('lazy eye') in childhood are more likely to experience hypertension, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in adulthood, as well as an increased risk of heart attacks.

Sight loss in certain inherited eye illnesses may be caused by gut bacteria and could be treated with antimicrobials, according to a new study in mice conducted by a UCL and Moorfields researcher.
