A newlywed has become the first NHS patient in England with an aggressive form of leukaemia to have a pioneering treatment developed by UCL researchers.

Alcohol treatment for adolescents in England who are not in employment, education or training (NEET) is more than twice as likely to fail than compared to those who are , University of Manchester researchers have found.

Experts equipped office space with radar-powered movement detectors and low-cost pollution sensors to link office occupancy, physical activity and air quality. University of Birmingham scientists have developed a new way of measuring and analysing indoor air pollution that - in initial trials - has established a clear link between office occupancy, physical activity, and air quality.

New research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has revealed divided public attitudes in the UK towards crossbreeding flat-faced (brachycephalic) dogs. The UK public disagrees on whether crossbreeding improves or worsens the health, appearance and temperament of flat-faced dogs, with preferences relating to cute appearance and companionship often outweighing health concerns when owners decide which dog to acquire.

Writing for The Conversation, Professor Daisy Fancourt (UCL Institute of Epidemiology & Health Care) debunks the 'mad artistic genius' theory and explores the complexities behind the stereotype.

Young tropical forests play a crucial role in slowing climate change. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the air, using photosynthesis to build it into their roots, trunks, and branches, where they can store carbon for decades or even centuries. But, according to a new study, this CO2-absorption may be slowed down by the lack of a crucial element that trees need to grow: nitrogen.

A new study in the Journal of Economic Geography has revealed that European 'due diligence' laws designed to make multinational companies accountable for labour and environmental abuses are beginning to give a voice to some of the world's most vulnerable workers.

A new study demonstrates the effectiveness of a widely-used eye injection to manage the previously untreatable rare condition, hypotony, in a project by clinical researchers at UCL and Moorfields Eye Hospital.

Researchers from the Universities of Manchester and Liverpool, together with Manchester Imaging Ltd, (a local company that specialises in developing AI medical devices), have received a £1.2 m

Two-year-olds in England watch television, videos or other digital content for an average of two hours each day, double the daily recommended screen time, new UCL-led research finds.

Supercharging immune cells could provide an effective way to tackle cancer, according to new research by scientists in Scotland. The team at the Cancer Research UK Scotland Institute, at the University of Glasgow, studied how the immune system works and why it becomes "exhausted" by cancer. T cells, which are the immune system's front line against disease, eventually become overcome by cancer allowing it to grow.

Astronomers have spotted one of the oldest 'dead' galaxies yet identified, and found that a growing supermassive black hole can slowly starve a galaxy rather than tear it apart. The researchers, led by the University of Cambridge, used data from the James Webb Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), to study a galaxy in the early universe - about three billion years after the Big Bang.

New paper challenges old notions of 'glitched brain' idea of delusions and instead focuses on physical experiences of strong and deeply held emotion. People experiencing delusions during an episode of psychosis may be 'living out' a deeply held emotion, according to new research that provides a 'radically different perspective' on one of the most puzzling elements of psychosis.

Heart surgery beginning in the late morning is linked to a modest increase in cardiovascular mortality when compared to other times of the day, according to a study led by researchers at The University of Manchester.

Scientists have found a way to make perovskite solar cells not only highly efficient but also remarkably stable, addressing one of the main challenges holding the technology back from widespread use. Perovskite has long been hailed as a game-changer for the next generation of solar power. However, advances in material design are still needed to boost the efficiency and durability of solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity.

Cambridge researchers have discovered that an existing therapy which boosts protective immune cells in people who recently had heart attacks reduces blood vessel inflammation and may reduce the likelihood of future heart attacks.

An evaluation by researchers from University of Manchester and ICF International provided lessons learned from the evaluation in terms of clinical governance, clinical supervision, skill mix, digital infrastructure and funding model.
