Traditionally, this research has heavily relied on animal testing, but researchers at the Henry Royce Institute at The University of Manchester, are revolutionising this field by using 3D printing technology to create sophisticated bone models in the laboratory.

Enzymes are nature's catalysts, they make life possible. Their catalytic power is the basis of the current biotechnology revolution; yet, our understanding of enzymes remains limited by their intrinsic complexity.

A new index, based on measures of so-called resilience, is needed to help gauge the success of policies aimed at preserving humanity's ability to live within Earth's resources, finds a new study involving a UCL researcher. In a paper published in the journal One Earth , researchers from UCL, the University of Southampton and the University of East Anglia outlined the case for moving towards an 'holistic' approach to gauging policy success which incorporates environmental and societal wellbeing measures in addition to economic ones.

Care for stroke survivors urgently needs to focus on non-motor skill outcomes like fatigue, anxiety and reduced social participation to improve survivors' quality of life and minimise care needs, according to a new study by researchers at UCL and UCLH. The study, published in the Lancet Regional Health - Europe, is the first to comprehensively capture the wide-ranging impacts of non-motor skill outcomes in a large group of patients.
