The University of Oxford and Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd. (SII), a Cyrus Poonawalla Group company and the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, have signed an Intellectual Property license agreement to advance the development and manufacture of the ChAdOx1 NipahB vaccine candidate.

The UK's first comprehensive evaluation of the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in breast cancer screening found that it can increase breast cancer detection by 10.4% and has the potential to reduce the workload of healthcare workers by more than 30% compared to the current clinical process.

Research led by the University of Cambridge and the RSPB shows that farming wetland-adapted crops on wetter peat - known as paludiculture - can support richer and more diverse bird communities than drained grassland.

Researchers and veterinary experts at the University of Glasgow are to undertake a new study to better understand a devastating, degenerative spinal condition in corgis. Degenerative myelopathy (DM) is a debilitating disease of the spinal cord affecting various breeds, including corgis. The condition normally presents in middle age, at around 6-8 years, with signs of weak hind limbs and a progressively wobbly gait.

People in the most socioeconomically deprived areas of the UK are more likely to die from head and neck cancer, more likely to be diagnosed at advanced stages, and more likely to wait longer for treatment than those in the most affluent areas, according to new analysis.

PsyMetRiC is designed to be simple and easy to use in clinical practice, and requires only simple, routinely-recorded information to make predictions.

Increasing our level of physical fitness leads to a bigger release of brain-boosting proteins following one session of exercise, a new study led by a UCL researcher has found. The study, published in  Brain Research , took a group of inactive unfit participants through a 12-week training programme of cycling three times per week and made them fitter.

Six out of 10 older people in England view climate change as a serious risk, with only one in 17 (5.8%) dismissive of climate change concerns, according to a new study led by UCL researchers. The study, published in The Journals of Gerontology, Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences , looked at survey responses from 6,572 people in England aged 50 and over who were asked to rate their agreement or disagreement with statements about climate change.

Researchers have shed new light on how a unusual rock formation in Oman was created, which could reveal new details about the Earth's ability to store carbon dioxide (CO2) for millions of years. The study, led by Keele University, in collaboration with The University of Manchester and University of Ottawa, looked at geological evidence from Oman to better understand processes that occur in subduction zones - where one of the Earth's tectonic plates sinks beneath another due to the plates colliding together.

Experts are warning that far from being over-diagnosed, people with ADHD are waiting too long for assessment, support and treatment.

Researchers create a never-before-seen molecule and prove its exotic nature with quantum computing An international team of scientists from IBM, The University of Manchester, Oxford University, ETH Zurich, EPFL and the University of Regensburg have created and characterized a molecule unlike any previously known - one whose electrons travel through its structure in a corkscrew-like pattern that fundamentally alters its chemical behavior.
