(Natural News) When will you die? It’s a morbid question that no one is able to answer with certainty; but a new artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm can. Developed by researchers from Stanford University, the AI is said to be capable of predicting the time of a patient’s death with terrifying accuracy. Tests have shown it […]

(Natural News) Will humans ever be able to regrow limbs and other parts of their body like some animals? The work of one group of researchers now shows that while it’s currently outside the realm of possibility, there’s a very slim chance that it could happen at some point in the future. After years of […]

(Natural News) A new study suggests that it may only be a matter of time until the radiology profession is rendered entirely obsolete. Not by lack of skills or certifications, but by the rise of highly-trained and incredibly accurate artificial intelligence machines. The paper, which was put together by Stanford University researchers and published under […]

(Natural News) Scientists and researchers from the University of Cambridge have revealed that they are currently developing nanotechnology that can “navigate” a patient’s body and help fight cancer. But this effort, while laudable, raises one question: is it feasible to develop this technology instead of merely promoting lifestyle changes that can also prevent cancer? Technology advances by […]

(Natural News) Robotic surgeons are taking the National Health Service (NHS) by storm. They are now being used to conduct surgical operations for prostate cancer or for kidney and bladder problems, which decades ago have been the domain of human surgeons. The machines, employing pinpoint-accurate, computer-controlled arms, are being hyped as devices that can be […]

(Natural News) A potato virus may hold the key to triggering an anti-tumor immune response that could help treat cancer, a new study suggests. A team of researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine have revealed that they have successfully altered virus particles into “cancer drug delivery devices for mice.” However, the team shared that […]

(Natural News) Looking for signs of heart and lung disease in the future could just be as easy as checking your breath, according to experts who participated in the first East Midlands Breathomics Pathology Node (EMBER) Industry Symposium.
