A novel study by researchers at Oxford Population Health reveals previously unknown protein links to neurodegenerative diseases, including eight proteins associated with Alzheimer\u2019s disease.
The Goding lab working in collaboration with the University Rey Juan Carlos show that fatty acid uptake activates an AXL-CAV1-\u03b2-catenin axis to drive melanoma invasiveness.
In her article, journalist Lydia Denworth explores how endometriosis, often associated with pelvic pain, can impact the entire body, featuring insights from Professor Krina Zondervan on the broader effects of this often misunderstood condition.
Two new research papers, published in Nature Genetics, jointly led by RDM\u2019s Professor Hugh Watkins, have further advanced our understanding of the genetic basis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
A grant from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) is funding a study to improve healthcare treatment and care for patients with broken bones in three Sub-Saharan Africa countries.
A study led by University of Oxford researchers has developed an advanced physics-based AI-driven tool to aid traumatic brain injury (TBI) investigations in forensics and law enforcement. The findings have been published today in Communications Engineering.
Medications routinely given to people experiencing psychosis could be worsening some of their cognitive function, including memory and concentration, according to a new analysis of existing research.
A new analysis by researchers at Oxford Population Health\u2019s Infectious Disease Epidemiology Unit has provided robust evidence in support of current World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for treating pregnant women living with HIV. The study is published in Clinical Microbiology and Infection.
New research shows children and young people are bombarded with social media ads for junk food, which influence their food choices, but current rules do little to protect them.
A landmark study involving Oxford researchers has identified 69 previously unidentified genetic determinants of rare disease, including uncommon forms of epilepsy and schizophrenia.

After more than a year of community engagement and preparation in 100 villages with over 12,000 inhabitants across the Chittagong Hill Tracts, a mass malaria vaccine (R21/Matrix M) and drug administration (DHA, piperaquine, and single low dose primaquine) study was launched on 15 February.
A new home test to diagnose type-1 diabetes (T1D) is being investigated in a major UK study led by researchers at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Oxford Biomedical Research Centre.
A new study led by researchers from Oxford Population Health has shown that a range of environmental factors, including lifestyle (smoking and physical activity) and living conditions, have a greater impact on health and premature death than our genes.
Dr David A Menassa is one of the senior authors on a new paper in Nature Communications that reports on the use of DeepCellMap - an adaptable open-source deep learning tool which studies cellular interactions in human brain tissues in an automated way.
Department researchers awarded \u00a317 million from Wellcome to analyse NHS talking therapy outcomes and enhance secure data research. The project will enable unprecedented mental health treatment research through the OpenSAFELY platform.
A team of researchers at the Department of Oncology have uncovered a key mechanism by which cells respond to their physical environment. In a pioneering study, published in Science Advances, Eric O\u2019Neill and his team describe a new signalling cascade, through which mechanical forces trigger the assembly of nuclear actin, crucial for nuclear integrity.
