The fight against advanced melanoma, a particularly aggressive form of skin cancer, has long been hindered by the cancer's ability to develop resistance to conventional treatments. However, a groundbreaking study led by QUT researchers at Brisbane's Translational Research Institute (TRI) offers a
Recent research has delved into the cognitive limitations of large language models (LLMs), or "chatbots," when subjected to dementia screening tests traditionally used on humans. The study, published in the Christmas issue of The BMJ, reveals that almost all leading LLMs exhibit signs of mild
The COVID-19 pandemic presented a global challenge, with governments and health institutions striving to contain the virus amid misinformation and rapid transmission. One pivotal approach was the development of various COVID-19 vaccine trials, employing adaptive methods to expedite recruitment
Clinical trials are essential for advancing medical research and developing new treatments. However, one of the significant challenges faced by clinical trials is patient enrollment. According to GlobalData, over half of clinical trial failures are due to enrollment problems. Patients often feel
5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) has been a cornerstone in cancer treatment for decades, primarily believed to work by damaging DNA and preventing cancer cells from replicating. However, recent research suggests that 5-FU's primary mechanism of action may be through targeting RNA, particularly ribosomal RNA,
