AI tool reveals hidden organ damage caused by high blood pressure
22 June 2026
Researchers at the University of Oxford have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that may help doctors better understand how high blood pressure damages different organs in different people - potentially paving the way for more personalised treatment in future.
New studies shed light on how best to guide heart artery procedures
19 June 2026
Three clinical trials have shed new light on which approaches are most useful when treating narrowed heart arteries. They challenge the current guidance on how to insert stents.
Study reveals blood stem cells can ‘remember’ inflammation
27 May 2026
Researchers have discovered that some human blood stem cells retain a lasting “memory” of inflammation, a finding that could help explain links between ageing, chronic disease, and blood cancers
Reversing T cell exhaustion improves effectiveness of myeloma immunotherapies
19 May 2026
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Bristol Myers Squibb (BMS), and the University of Oxford have discovered a way to give worn-out immune cells a second wind in the fight against multiple myeloma.
New AI model predicts how cells choose their fate
12 May 2026
Researchers from the University of Oxford, the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Helmholtz Munich, and the Technical University of Munich have developed a new artificial intelligence framework that helps uncover how cells make developmental decisions.
Heart scan and blood test improve risk prediction for inherited heart condition, major study finds
11 May 2026
A large international study led by researchers at the University of Oxford and the University of Virginia (USA) has identified a new model for predicting outcomes for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) – a heart condition that is the most frequent cause of sudden cardiac death in younger individuals.
