Filipe Pereira and his research team have discovered a recipe on how to reprogram cancer cells into antigen-presenting dendritic cells, essential for initiating and enhancing anti-tumour immunity. This approach provides a promising strategy for cancer treatment. The goal of the now awarded project is to engineer the "vehicle" to deliver the instruction converting the cells, utilizing RNA vectors f

When used as a diagnostic aid, artificial intelligence (AI) can help physicians save time and make more accurate diagnoses. However, physicians should also understand and be able to explain the computer’s decision to the patient to avoid jeopardising trust, says AI researcher Stefan Larsson. AI also puts us at a crossroads: do we want to reflect the world or change it? Stefan Larsson is a research
