New research shows that eating flavanol-rich foods, such as cocoa and berries, protects vascular health in men from the harmful effects of prolonged sitting. New research from the University of Birmingham shows that eating flavanol-rich foods-like tea, berries, apples, and cocoa-can protect vascular health in men from the harmful effects of prolonged sitting.

Writing for The Conversation, Professor Max Telford (UCL Biosciences) explores a new link that may explain how animals evolved from single-celled organisms and how this fits into existing theories on evolution.

A powerful new database and economic model that identifies the most cost-effective strategies to reduce the carbon emissions from the world's iron and steel processing plants has been developed by researchers from UCL.

Last Updated: 29 Oct 2025 10:36:30 Researchers from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) have launched a major new study to improve the safety and welfare of Thoroughbred racehorses in training. The project will provide vital evidence to help reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury, one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in racehorses worldwide.

The types, locations and causes of cycling 'near misses' in London have been mapped using helmet-mounted cameras and GPS devices to track commuter journeys, in a new study from UCL researchers that provides valuable data for improving road safety. The study, published in Accident Analysis and Prevention , is the first to combine real-time verbal reporting of incidents with panoramic video footage and GPS data to understand the behavioural and environmental factors contributing to 'near misses' (where a crash between a cyclist and another road user or pedestrian is narrowly avoided).

The special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system, already known to be in deep trouble, now faces 'a worsening crisis' which, say experts, puts the UK on the brink of a national emergency.

Authored by Hannah Curran-Troop as part of her one-year UKRI HEIF-funded fellowship with Creative Manchester, this work marks a major partnership between Manchester City Council's Culture Team and Creative Manchester.

A new study led by the Department of Social Policy and Intervention (DSPI) at the University of Oxford has found that UK households see their income slashed by 17% in the first year after job loss - a far sharper hit than in Nordic or continental countries.

A multiple sclerosis (MS) patient in the UK was the first to receive CAR T cell therapy, invented by UCL researchers, in a clinical trial testing whether this personalised treatment can slow or even halt the progression of the disease.

A new form of 3D-printed twisting metamaterial which can mitigate the effects of impact could lead to improved crash protection for vehicles in the years ahead. Researchers from universities in Scotland and Italy are behind the development of the material, which has a unique lattice shape that allows it to twist into itself to effectively protect against a range of impact types and severities.

Children placed in school 'isolation rooms' are losing learning time, feeling cut off from their peers and suffering damage to their wellbeing, according to new research from The University of Manchester.

Baroness Merron, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Women's Health and Mental Health, made the visit to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week.

Understanding Animal Research (UAR) has published a list of the ten organisations that carried out the highest number of animal procedures - those used in medical, veterinary, and scientific research - in Great Britain in 2024. These statistics are freely available on the organisations' websites as part of their ongoing commitment to transparency and openness around the use of animals in research.

Problems with the brain's waste clearance system could underlie many cases of dementia and help explain why poor sleep patterns and cardiovascular risk factors such as high blood pressure increase the risk of dementia.
