Children and young people are generally positive about artificial intelligence (AI) and think it should be used in modern healthcare, finds the first-of-its-kind survey led by UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH). The national study asked children and young people aged six to 23 years old, across all four UK nations for their views on how they would like AI to be used to enhance their healthcare.

Exploring the most common health problems in pet rabbits in the UK, new research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) reveals unnatural body shapes along with inadequate diet and exercise as having strong links with poorer health in rabbits. These insights will support ongoing efforts to enhance pet rabbit welfare in the UK, helping owners to recognise and prevent common disorders and providing veterinary professionals with more information around the causes of commonly diagnosed disorders.

The Fleming Initiative is calling for designs for its inaugural Centre at St Mary's Hospital.

An Imperial researcher won a Royal Society Pairing Scheme fellowship and spent time discussing science and policy with Baroness Neville-Jones.

A new fast test may help identify children missing immunity to tetanus and other essential vaccines.

The Welsh scientists that created a unique kit to test Covid-19 immunity have moved their team into Cardiff Medicentre.

A new science policy briefing on vaccine technology transfers to lowand middle-income countries (LMICs), written by UCL researchers, informed discussions at the United Nations.

A new artificial intelligence (AI) system that could significantly reduce the time and cost required to recruit clinical trial patients for an advanced form of age-related vision loss has been developed by a team led by UCL and Moorfields Eye Hospital researchers. The system focuses on Geographic Atrophy (GA), an advanced form of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) leading to irreversible vision loss and legal blindness.

The LENS trial has demonstrated that fenofibrate, a drug usually used to lower cholesterol, reduces the risk of progression of diabetic retinopathy by 27%.

Researchers at The University of Manchester are to trial a system that allows people living with rheumatoid arthritis to send their daily symptoms securely to their health record, in a first for the NHS.

93% of dinner meal deals exceed the government's suggested calorie limit for dinner of 600 calories per person, with the most calorific option at 1526 kcal.

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have discovered that a type of white blood cell - called a regulatory T cell - exists as a single large population of cells that constantly move throughout the body looking for, and repairing, damaged tissue. It's difficult to think of a disease, injury or infection that doesn't involve some kind of immune response, and our finding really changes the way we could control this response.

The University of Glasgow, alongside NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde, has opened the PRIMUS-006 pancreatic cancer study, part of the Precision-Panc Platform.

New research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has revealed a fundamental difference between how the cells which line blood vessels (endothelial cells), react in horses compared to humans. Regulating the factors that influence endothelial cell function is sometimes used to treat diseases such as cancer in humans, so the findings pave the way for further research in both horses and humans.

Drugs with the potential to change the course of Alzheimer's disease are expected to be approved by mid-year in the UK. However, healthcare services may need to change to ensure that all patients have equitable access to these new modifying anti-amyloid therapies. People in the UK with early-stage Alzheimer's disease may be suitable for the latest drugs which aim to halt progress of the condition but delivery of these new treatments will require a major restructure to existing dementia services, finds a new study co-led by UCL researchers.

Few people in the UK with early-stage Alzheimer's disease are likely to be suitable for the latest drugs which aim to halt progress of the condition, yet many are nevertheless likely to be referred for these treatments, finds a new study co-led by UCL researchers.

A glowing marker dye that sticks to prostate cancer cells could help surgeons to remove them in real-time, according to a study led by the University of Oxford.

Closeup of a man giving a like to the profile of another man in a simulated online dating app on his smartphone Dating apps are not just about finding love or hooking up.

A new blood test that could identify children with a potentially fatal heart condition has been developed by researchers at UCL and Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH).
