The coating is designed for use in internal medical devices such as hip replacements or pacemakers. Researchers have developed a flexible antimicrobial material that could be used to coat medical devices placed inside the body. The work combines previous research from both universities into metal-organic frameworks – three-dimensional crystalline materials made of metals and linkers […]

The initiative forms part of the […]
Researchers in the US have developed an AI model based on epigenetic factors that is able to predict patient outcomes successfully across multiple cancer types. The researchers found that by examining the gene expression patterns of epigenetic factors in tumours, they could categorise them into distinct groups to predict patient outcomes across various cancer types […]
