British researchers have developed a revolutionary therapy that grows missing gut nerves from stem cells in just six days, offering hope for newborns with a life-threatening digestive disease. The breakthrough could end the need for repeated surgeries that many children currently face.
Babies born without vital gut nerves may soon receive a permanent cure instead of repeated surgeries. UK researchers created lab-grown stem cells that restore digestive function in just six days.
Babies born with Hirschsprung disease face a lifetime of surgeries because they're missing vital nerves in their digestive system. Now a UK research team has created a revolutionary stem cell therapy that could offer a permanent cure.
A breakthrough medication reduced seizures by 80% in children with a severe form of epilepsy, giving hope to thousands of families. The drug was well-tolerated by all 81 young patients in the trial.
Scientists at CERN have discovered a new subatomic particle four times heavier than a proton, ending a 20-year mystery. UK researchers led the breakthrough using an upgraded detector that makes once-impossible measurements routine.
Hairdressers are becoming unlikely climate champions after a simple intervention got 73% of salon clients to change their eco-habits. Scientists discovered that trust-filled salon conversations could be a secret weapon for environmental action.
A surprising discovery from UK researchers shows that collecting garbage less often drives recycling rates up to 61%. The counterintuitive finding offers hope for countries like Canada, where only 27% of waste gets recycled.
Since the United Kingdom rejoined Horizon Europe in 2024, cross-border research is delivering breakthrough technologies that make automated vehicles safer in bad weather and create brain-inspired AI that uses a fraction of normal energy. These collaborations are proving that complex global challenges need international expertise working together.
Thousands of heart failure patients could soon skip a risky procedure where doctors thread tubes into their hearts, thanks to a breakthrough MRI technique. UK researchers developed a method to measure crucial blood oxygen levels using a standard scan instead.
A major review of vaccine trials reveals that care home residents, despite being most vulnerable to infections, have been systematically excluded from the very trials testing vaccines designed for them. Scientists are now calling for mandatory inclusion to ensure safety and effectiveness for this at-risk population.
UK scientists created a simple blood test that tells doctors whether breast cancer treatment will work before therapy even begins. The breakthrough could spare patients from months of ineffective drugs and help them find treatments that actually work.
