Complex digital images of tissue samples that can take an experienced pathologist up to 20 minutes to annotate could be analysed in just one minute using a new AI tool developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge.

An AI tool that can analyse abnormalities in the shape and form of blood cells, and with greater accuracy and reliability than human experts, could change the way conditions such as leukaemia are diagnosed. Researchers have created a system called CytoDiffusion that uses generative AI - the same type of technology behind image generators such as DALL-E - to study the shape and structure of blood cells.

New research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has revealed a 2075% increase in soft-tissue surgical referrals over the past 10 years for French Bulldogs at the RVC's Queen Mother Hospital for Animals (QMHA ) in London.

The remains of an extensive Bronze Age settlement on the Kazakh Steppe that was likely once a major regional hub for large-scale bronze production more than 3,500 years ago, have been revealed by an international team of archaeologists co-led by researchers from UCL.

£45m in GSK funding has been allocated to new research programmes combining expertise and using cutting edge AI technology to accelerate AMR research.

Social media use in adolescence is linked to delayed bedtimes, negative self-image and, especially among teenage girls, greater distrust, a new UCL study shows. In turn, these changes are associated with more symptoms of depression and anxiety, risk of self-harm, and suicidal behaviours several years later.

As the days continue to get shorter scientists have made a significant step in understanding exactly what makes mammals exhibit seasonal behaviours like hibernation and migration. The study - published in the journal eLife and led by the University of Glasgow - pinpoints a single gene, the Dio3 gene, present across all mammals, as the biological mechanism behind seasonal behaviours.

Efforts to join up isolated plant and animal habitats across the world should also protect against unintentionally harming them, new research shows. The paper, led by the Universities of Leeds and Oxford and published in Nature Reviews Biodiversity , states that work to connect fragmented wildlife habitats is essential - but it may also pose ecological risks including the unintentional spread of wildlife diseases and invasive species.

I'd gone to the doctor countless times with back pain but I found it hard to explain how bad it was.

Women with intellectual disabilities could receive added monitoring for breast cancer with the development of a smart textiles bra by researchers at the University of Glasgow and Nottingham Trent University (NTU).

An ancient plant-fungus partnership has been revealed using advanced microscopy imaging, providing evidence of the mutually beneficial relationship that enabled plants to adapt to life on land. Our new technique is opening an exciting new window on life's earliest chapters. Raymond Wightman Researchers from the University of Cambridge and the Natural History Museum, London have identified a new species of ancient symbiotic fungus preserved within a 407-million-year-old plant fossil from Scotland.

Basak Çali , Head of Research and Professor of International Law at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights ,  Faculty of Law , asks whether judicial climate rulings can make a real difference to the climate crisis.
