Under-40s diagnosed with type 2 diabetes have a mortality rate four times higher than the general population

People diagnosed with type 2 diabetes before 40 years of age, have nearly four times the risk of death compared with the general UK population, a new study carried out at the University of Oxford’s Radcliffe Department of Medicine has found.

Professor Robin Choudhury publishes a new book about the heart

Robin Choudhury, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine, has written a book about the art and science of the heart. Here he answers some questions about the origins and highlights of the project.

Researchers develop new tool to better predict acute myeloid leukaemia outcomes in older patients

In a study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, an international research team has used machine learning to improve risk stratification for patients over 60 diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia, an aggressive type of blood cancer.

Of Mice and Men - Researchers demonstrate evolutionary conservation of blood stem cell subtypes

Researchers from the MRC Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine (WIMM) have shown that blood stem cell subtypes found in mice also exist in humans. This provides important information for research into therapies to alleviate the negative effects of aging.

New study uncovers key details of clonal outgrowth in blood cells with ageing

AI analysis of routine heart scans can predict risk of a developing heart problems ten years in advance, new research finds

A research team led by scientists at the Radcliffe Department of Medicine, University of Oxford has developed an Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology which can accurately predict the risk of a heart attack, heart failure or cardiac death from routine cardiac CT scans, up to ten years in advance.

New study provides framework for optimising the design of antibody therapeutics

Researchers define new class of regulatory element in DNA

AI tool could help thousands avoid fatal heart attacks

An Artificial Intelligence (AI) tool that can predict 10-year risk of deadly heart attacks, could transform treatment for patients who undergo CT scans to investigate chest pain, according to British Heart Foundation (BHF)-funded research presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions in Philadelphia.

Heart attack risk decreased in new mothers by self-monitoring blood pressure at home

Self-monitoring blood pressure after giving birth could help to cut new mothers’ risk of future heart disease and strokes, according to new research by Oxford researchers.

Single cell spatial analysis provides new insight into immune-pathology in Covid-19 lungs

Synthetic peptides mimic anti-inflammatory properties of tick saliva chemicals

Short peptides derived from anti-inflammatory ‘evasins’ released by ticks could be used to develop new treatments for inflammatory diseases.
