Scientists at the University of Nottingham have discovered that prostate cancer is able to spread through a man’s body by taking off the genetic ‘handbrake’ that stops cells growing out of control — and a new project will now work out how to put the brakes back on.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham have created an endoscopic device that can 3D image the stiffness of individual biological cells and complex organisms, a discovery that could help doctors discover and treat cancer earlier.

One-of-a-kind AI-driven software that can monitor the “health” of critical power plant components is being developed for sector use with the launch of a new spin-out company.
