AI + MedicineIn breast screening, AI support has been tested in a randomized trial of more than 100,000 women and a real-world study of 460,000. The results are promising, but false alarms, overdiagnosis and deskilling still matter.
AI + MedicineAI reconstruction has nearly halved knee MRI scan times in clinical studies without losing diagnostic accuracy. But networks that fill in missing data can also invent or erase detail, so validation must be specific.
Genome + CellsIn December 2023 the FDA approved Casgevy, the first CRISPR-based therapy, for sickle cell disease. Here is how gene editing, gene therapy and RNA medicines differ, and what that approval does and doesn't prove.
LongevitySome problems of ageing may start inside individual cells. This explainer tours senescence and mitochondria, from striking mouse results to small, mixed human trials, and explains why no therapy is yet approved to treat ageing.
DeepTech + MedTechFrom over-the-counter glucose monitors to AI-enabled imaging software, medical devices are getting smaller, smarter and more autonomous. Here is what is authorized, what is still experimental, and what could slow things down.
DeepTech + MedTechNo bioprinted solid organ has been transplanted into a person, but bioprinting has produced striking lab and animal results. Here is what works today, what has reached early human testing, and what still stands in the way.
DeepTech + MedTechOrganoids and organ-on-a-chip systems let researchers test drugs on human tissue models before people. The early evidence is promising but specific, and the models still miss much of real human biology.
Companies + StocksMost medical products begin as university research, then pass through tech transfer offices, licences or spinouts, and the regulatory system. This guide maps each step and the reasons discoveries stall.
AI + MedicinePersonalized computer models of the heart and in-silico trials are already used in research and regulation. Scaling them into a living digital twin for every patient raises hard questions of biology, validation and trust.
