A migrating breast cancer cell.Credit: Christoph Burgstedt/SPL Choosing the most effective treatment for people with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is often challenging because the tumours can behave very differently at the molecular level. Now, researchers have developed an artificial-intelligence-based ‘virtual cell model’ that can help in choosing the best treatment for this aggressive form of

Osteoporosis causes thin, porous bones that are prone to fracture, but a promising cell therapy might offer a way to strengthen them.Credit: Dr Tony Brain/SPL The ten older women had, between them, broken their bones dozens of times, often after little more than a stumble. But after receiving a single infusion of their own bone-marrow
