The HYPIEND project consists of 14 partners from eight European countries King’s College London (KCL) has announced that it is one of 14 partners from eight European countries to join the HYPIEND project to improve newborn health. Co-ordinated by the Eurecat technology centre, the five-year study aims to reduce the impact of endocrine disruptors on pregnancy and pre-puberty. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can be found in products including cosmetics, food, drink and cleaning products. Particularly during pregnancy, infancy and childhood, these products can affect the operation of the hormonal system. The HYPIEND project will analyse the impact on the hypothalamic-pituitaryaxis, the structure where the central nervous system and the endocrine systems connect and regulate hormones that operate body functions such as somatic growth, lactation and stress coping. The project will involve Dr Marika Charalambous, school academic lead, research and impact, at KCL, who will lead group studies of the metabolism and ...

The incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) are on an alarming rise, with predictions showing a continuous increase until at least 2040. Currently, CRC ranks as the third most diagnosed (10.7% of all cancer cases) and the second deadliest cancer type. Despite the effectiveness of imaging and endoscopic techniques in CRC detection, the final cancer diagnosis always relies on a pathologist’s assessment of histological samples. Grading dysplasia is still routinely performed by pathologists worldwide when assessing colorectal tissue samples. Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) systems for colorectal pathology face challenges due to the high data volume and the massive resolution of images, leading to a bottleneck in deep learning (DL) approaches that extract patches from the whole slides. Now, researchers at INESC TEC (Porto, Portugal) and IMP Diagnostics (Porto, Portugal) have created a pioneering prototype that employs artificial intelligence (AI) for colorectal diagnosis. This prototype is a result of a ...
