Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a routine tool in biomedical research, helping scientists analyse data, understand diseases and develop new treatments. But as AI models grow larger and more complex, they also rely on increasing amounts of energy, data storage and computing power. These environmental impacts are rarely visible to the researchers using the technology. As part of this year’s

The Pereira research group has previously shown that it is possible to reprogram human skin cells into dendritic cells that strengthen the immune system. However, the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells has been shown to be very low. New studies now indicate that there are ways to increase the efficiency of these reprogrammed cells by over 75%. These findings provide mechanistic insights into h

A lack of phosphorus in forest soil could lead to an acceleration of global climate change. This is shown by new research that has investigated the complex balance between carbon dioxide fertilisation, phosphorus deficiency and tree growth. The world’s forests are vital in the fight against climate change, as they absorb around a quarter of the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Trees
