Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in women

Trial will use AI in breast cancer screenings

The clinic where the experiments took place consisted of a large central waiting room (154m3, split into A and B for the purpose of the study), eight surrounding consulting rooms and a nurses’ station (all approximately 35m3). The clinic was connected via a permanently open passageway to a corridor leading to the rest of the hospital. Experiments took place at night and weekends when no staff or patients were present

Hospital ventilation could cause viruses to spread

The team identified Simvastatin as being significantly associated with reduced incidence of Parkinson's disease

AI models spot potential risk genes for Parkinson’s disease

A fundamental limit constrains how precisely individual molecules can be localised
