Medical progress rarely arrives as neatly as headlines suggest. These articles follow health research from the laboratory to the ward, covering vaccines, drug resistance, diagnostics and the use of AI in care.

Among the topics: a malaria vaccine aimed at protecting mothers and babies in Africa, gender disparities in sepsis treatment, relapse risk in multiple myeloma and damage to liver cells. Antibiotic resistance comes up several times, including the AMR Action Fund’s call for faster action and new weapons against resistant bacteria.
Technology is the other strand. A UCL study examines how the NHS is struggling to adopt AI, while other pieces cover machine learning in ALS research, a $30m biofoundry for RNA therapies in Darlington and breast density monitoring. None of this replaces advice from a doctor; use it to follow the direction of research and to ask better questions.
