Scientists discover blood proteins that may give cancer warning 7 years before diagnosis
Oxford Population Health in the UK has discovered blood proteins that could signal cancer over seven years before diagnosis, potentially revolutionising early detection and prevention.
Blood diagnostics modelled on leeches
Researchers at ETH Zurich in Switzerland have developed a new, less invasive blood sampling device inspired by leeches, aiming to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient comfort.
Enzymes open new path to universal donor blood
Researchers at DTU in Denmark and Lund University in Sweden have advanced towards creating universal donor blood by developing enzymes that strip blood cells of A and B antigens.
Deadly bacteria show thirst for human blood
Researchers at Washington State University in the USA have discovered that certain deadly bacteria are drawn to human blood, a phenomenon they term “bacterial vampirism.”
First heat map for individual red blood cells
An international team has pioneered a nanoscale method for measuring entropy in red blood cells, potentially transforming our understanding of cellular energy efficiency and health.
How bloodstain tails can reveal new forensic details
From American Institute of Physics 27/11/23 Forensic science has captured the public imagination by storm, as the profusion of “true crime” media in the last decade or so suggests. By now, most of us know that evidence left at a crime scene, such as blood, can often reveal information that is key to investigating and […]
