A Multi-Party Team represented by Carnegie Mellon University researchers and private industry partners has secured an award of up to $26.7 million from the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) Platform Optimizing SynBio for Early Intervention and Detection in Oncology (POSEIDON) program to usher in a new era of proactive cancer screening, offering an at-home solution to detect over 30 Stage 1 solid tumor cancers from a simple urine sample.

A diet rich in cysteine has rejuvenating effects in the small intestine, according to a new study. The amino acid can turn on an immune signaling pathway that helps stem cells regrow new intestinal tissue, which could help heal injuries from radiation or chemotherapy.

McGill University researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can detect previously invisible disease markers inside single cells.

In a study published in Nature Communications, the researchers demonstrate how the tool, called DOLPHIN, could one day be used by doctors to catch diseases earlier and guide treatment options.
