In patients with Fanconi anaemia (FA), one of the DNA repair mechanisms that normally protects us against cancer no longer works adequately. A Dutch researcher set out to find the genes responsible for this defect. He discovered a new FA gene and established that FA gene defects could also cause cancer in people who do [...]
Researchers have developed a bespoke system that will prevent accidents by using highly advanced sensing systems which track road users. The WATCH-OVER project uses a cooperative system, where both cars and vulnerable road users “are seen” and able to “communicate” with each other.
