Exploring the pillars of flexible health systems

FLASH highlights the path to dynamic resilience in European healthcare financing The EU-funded FLASH(opens in new window) project is exploring solutions to tackle the rigidity of healthcare financing models and their inability to adequately handle sudden, large-scale disruptions. A stark reminder is the COVID-19 pandemic. While European nations responded by injecting emergency funds and reallocating…
Una contratación pública más inteligente para mejorar la asistencia sanitaria en Europa

Smarter procurement for better European healthcare

By building a network of procurement of innovation stakeholders, the EU-funded Procure4Health project is helping European healthcare systems move from reactive buying to a more demand-driven approach Across Europe, healthcare faces the challenge of doing more with limited resources. “Procurement usually focuses on buying finished products,” says project coordinator Carlos Larrañeta Gómez-Caminero, from the Andalucian…
Lab-grown brain-spinal cord model shows ‘irreversible’ nerve damage may be reversed

Lab-grown brain-spinal cord model shows ‘irreversible’ nerve damage may be reversed

Cambridge scientists have grown miniature circuits in the lab that mimic how the brain and spinal cord connect up, which underlies our movements. They used this model to show how damage to these connections previously considered ‘irreversible’ could, in fact, be reversible As we develop and grow from embryo to fetus to infant, our nerve…
Imagine That: Brain Uses Neurons from Vision System When Forming Mental Imagery

Imagine That: Brain Uses Neurons from Vision System When Forming Mental Imagery

Researchers have found that when you recall and visualize something you have seen before—a key component of long-term memory—neurons in your visual system reactivate in a manner consistent with vision Creative endeavors, like making art, writing music, or penning a poem, require the recall of memories to fuel imagination. Many other human behaviors, including problem…
Demystifying migraine

Demystifying migraine

‘It’s not an imagined headache, and it’s not a mild condition,’ says Michael Moskowitz, Brain Prize recipient for his dogma-defying research About 15 percent of people worldwide suffer from migraine, a neurological condition that can cause headache, nausea, visual disturbances, and sensitivity to light and sound.  After stroke and neonatal brain injuries, migraine is the…
Spotting Alzheimer’s early with a simple blood test

Spotting Alzheimer’s early with a simple blood test

EU-backed researchers are pioneering a minimally invasive, graphene-based tool for detecting Alzheimer’s disease years before symptoms appear The early detection of Alzheimer’s disease remains one of the most pressing challenges in modern neurology. With current approaches relying on expensive imaging techniques or invasive cerebrospinal fluid analysis, patients frequently end up being diagnosed at advanced stages,…
Páncreas artificial implantable para la diabetes de tipo 1

Implantable artificial pancreas for type I diabetes

A fully implantable device that mimics the pancreas could dramatically ease life for people with type I diabetes Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition in which the pancreas can no longer secrete insulin. For millions of people, this translates into measuring glucose, monitoring carbohydrate consumption and injecting insulin on a daily basis. Hybrid closed-loop…
Breast cancer recovery through the lens of real-world data

Breast cancer recovery through the lens of real-world data

Real-world data can reveal how patients truly recover after cancer. A European initiative combines clinical records and wearable data to improve care beyond the clinic Recovering from breast cancer often involves managing a complex set of chronic conditions that persist long after primary treatment ends. However, a lot of clinical research still relies on snapshots…
Six cancers rising faster in younger adults than older ones

Six cancers rising faster in younger adults than older ones

Large new global study fuels growing concern over trend of increases in several types Six cancer types are rising faster in younger adults than in those who are older in at least five countries, a new study of global cancer incidence shows, and two types — colorectal and uterine — are becoming both more common…
