Jeff Craven August 28, 2025 Moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), but not mild TBI, is associated with a significantly higher risk for malignant brain tumor, a new study showed. In a cohort that included more than 150,000 US adults with and without TBI, researchers found that those with a history of moderate-to-severe TBI were 67%

Summary author: Walter Beckwith Peer-Reviewed Publication American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) A newly identified and rare genetic variant slows the growth of mutated blood stem cells, researchers report, and it reduces the risk of leukemia. The findings offer insight into why some people are naturally more resistant to clonal expansion and age-related

First breathing ‘lung-on-chip’ developed using genetically identical cells

January 5, 2026 / Research update / InnovateMed Author / identical cells

Peer-Reviewed Publication The Francis Crick Institute Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human ‘lung-on-chip’ model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung disease in an individual, holding promise for testing treatments for infections like tuberculosis (TB) and delivering personalised medicine. Air
