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.

A Scottish patient has become the first person in the world to undergo a clinical trial that aims to improve outcomes for those having specialist heart surgery.

A new research collaboration which fuses fashion and science is set to send bacteria into space - and the outcomes could create radiation-sensitive fabrics capable of preventing skin cancer on Earth and protecting space explorers on the Moon.

Adopting digital twin technology to manage the power consumption of idle devices could save organisations thousands of pounds a year and help reduce their carbon footprint, new research suggests. Engineers from the University of Glasgow's James Watt School of Engineering have developed a prototype of a digital tool which can monitor and manage 'phantom load' - the electricity consumed by devices like computers or office equipment when they are plugged into mains power but are not in active use.

A prototype device which has demonstrated record-breaking longevity could help open up new frontiers in next-generation communications and computing technologies.

One-third of junior doctors have experienced sexual harassment and abuse (SHA) within their healthcare system.

Academics at the University of Glasgow are launching an appeal to residents Ayr, Dumfries and Wick for their feedback on the impacts of climate change on communities and residents' mental health as part of a new research project.

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.

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).

Researchers at the University of Glasgow's School of Cancer Sciences are partnering with Nucleai, a leader in AI-powered spatial biology for precision medicine, to identify and validate predictive biomarkers for colorectal cancer and advanced polyp incidence.

A three-month programme of resistance exercise can help improve the physical and mental wellbeing of people with long covid, according to newly published research. The results - which are part of a study led by the University of Glasgow in collaboration with NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, the University of Dundee and NHS Tayside - highlight the importance of manageable exercise after a serious COVID-19 infection.

Half of people investigated for suspected angina and given the all-clear may be missing out on the correct diagnosis, according to a new study led by the University of Glasgow. The data was presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions conference in New Orleans, on Monday 10 November 2025, and forms part of a newly published Nature Medicine study, funded by the British Heart Foundation.
