Researchers have identified three new prostate cancer biomarkers that improve the visibility of cancer cells used by pathologists to grade the disease’s severity. The novel technique could assist in determining which patients require urgent treatment a… Continue reading New prostate cancer biomarkers to help improve diagnosis and treatment
The health of Australia’s military could soon be monitored using data collected by smartwatches and wearable devices and analyzed using a machine learning algorithm. A new project plans to use such data to detect biological and chemical threats that de… Continue reading Wearables could detect biological & chemical threats for Aussie military
A study by Australian researchers has found that the humble sea cucumber may contain key ingredients that delay the onset of type 2 diabetes and reduce the complications brought about by the disease.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, Lif… Continue reading Sea cucumbers may help stave off type 2 diabetes and its complications
Playing dead is a common defense mechanism in the animal kingdom, but scientists in Australia have discovered an example on a whole new scale. Entire colonies of ants were found to be feigning death, in a collective behavior that’s never been recorded … Continue reading Ant colonies perform strange group behavior never recorded before

Patients who remain in bed for long periods of time may develop pressure sores, which can in turn become potentially life-threatening chronic skin ulcers. A new sensor could help keep that from happening, using scattered light.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Optical fiber sensor could keep patients from developing bed sores
Autism and ADHD are becoming better understood, but clinicians can still find the two conditions difficult to tell apart. Now, South Australian researchers say they’ve identified biomarkers that could allow these two conditions to be diagnosed and dist… Continue reading Simple retina test could accurately distinguish autism from ADHD
