Medical Xpress / AI screening tool gives pathologists 'spatial super vision' to detect hidden cancer
QIMR Berghofer scientists have developed an AI screening tool that harnesses the power of cutting-edge spatial biology analysis to give pathologists "super vision" to detect hidden genetic markers of cancer in standard patient ...
Medical Xpress / This everyday plant protein may be quietly reshaping blood pressure risk in ways doctors cannot ignore
A higher dietary intake of soy and legumes is linked to a lower risk of high blood pressure, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published in the open access journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health.
