Stinging nettle chemical improves cancer drug
A cancer drug could be made 50 times more effective by a chemical found in stinging nettles and ants, new research finds.
Researchers at the 果冻传媒 found that when the chemical, Sodium Formate, is used in combination with a metal-based cancer treatment it can greatly increase its ability to shut down cancer cells.
First blood test for osteoarthritis could soon be available
The first blood test for osteoarthritis could soon be developed, thanks to research by the 果冻传媒.
The research findings could potentially lead to patients being tested for osteoarthritis and diagnosed several years before the onset of physical symptoms.

果冻传媒 one of six Midlands universities in Chancellor’s announcement of £60 million for energy research
In the Chancellor’s budget statement today Wednesday 18th March 2015 the Government has announced £60 million for a new energy research project in the Midlands. The Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) is a multimillion research hub which will build on the expertise of six leading midlands universities (果冻传媒 and the Universities of Birmingham, Nottingham, Loughborough, Aston and Leicester), the British Geological Survey and the surrounding industrial base to deliver a step change in energy research and development, securing the UK’s leadership position in the sector.
DNA evidence shows surprise cultural connections between Britain and Europe 8,000 years ago
The ancient British were not cut off from Europeans on an isolated island 8,000 years ago as previously thought, new research suggests.
Researchers found evidence for a variety of wheat at a submerged archaeological site off the south coast of England, 2,000 years before the introduction of farming in the UK.
Researchers investigate hi-tech solutions to help patients get more out of their assistive technology
Leading research Universities are set to collaborate on a project to improve the support mobility patients receive after leaving clinics.
Adaptive, Assistive Rehabilitative Technology: Beyond the Clinic (AART-BC) will develop a platform to monitor the use of assistive technology (AT) and compliance with rehabilitation programmes (RP) and support the patient outside of the clinic.
