Researchers from A*STAR GIS, along with collaborators from South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and India, have assembled the world's first Asian Immune Diversity Atlas (AIDA). This groundbreaking study, published in Cell, profiles over 1.2 million immune cells from 625 healthy donors across five Asian countries. AIDA offers critical insights into immune variations, paving the way for precision medicine and tailored diagnostics for Asian populations

A new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that can help interpret and assess how well treatments are working for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has been developed by UCL researchers.

Mobile health technologies, such as wearable devices, mobile health apps and telehealth or remote coaching, have shown potential to help people start and maintain heart-healthy behaviors, such as eating a healthy diet, increasing physical activity, quitting smoking, monitoring sleep and more.

This conclusion is based on the analysis of data collected in connection with the introduction of a shingles immunization program launched in Wales in 2013. Economists with their special expertise in statistical analyses have made a significant contribution to the corresponding study.

A new study presented today at the European Psychiatric Association Congress 2025 reveals significant socioeconomic inequalities in unmet needs for mental health care across European Union countries, with financial barriers disproportionately affecting lower-income populations.
