It took Glenn Calverley a while to figure out he was having a stroke. It just felt like a really bad headache that wouldn’t go away. But then he noticed his vision had changed dramatically and he knew something was seriously wrong.

Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind device to profile the immune function of newborns. Using a single drop of blood, the BiophysicaL Immune Profiling for Infants (BLIPI) system provides real-time insights into newborns’ immune responses, enabling the early detection of severe inflammatory conditions and allowing for timely interventions.

A new national audit led by Monash University has shed light on how medication use is governed in Australian residential aged care, revealing wide variation in the structure and function of Medication Advisory Committees (MACs) across the country.

Moving beyond traditional methods of observing thinly sliced and stained cancer tissues, a collaborative international research team led by KAIST has successfully developed a new technology. This innovation uses advanced optical techniques combined with an artificial intelligence-based deep learning algorithm to create realistic, virtually stained 3D images of cancer tissue without the need for excisional biopsy. This breakthrough is anticipated to pave the way for next-generation noninvasive pathological diagnosis.
