It has been estimated that nearly 300 million people, or about 4% of the global population, are afflicted by some form of depression. But detecting it can be difficult, particularly when those affected don't (or won't) report negative feelings to friends, family or clinicians. A pilot study of a system known as FacePsy suggests facial expressions may offer detectable insights into our moods. Read more ›

An innovative analysis of shared segments within the genome -- an indication of distant 'relatedness' -- has identified undiagnosed cases of Long QT syndrome, a rare disorder that can lead to abnormal heart rhythms, fainting and sudden cardiac death. The findings illustrate the feasibility of the new approach to detect undiagnosed carriers of rare disease-causing genetic variants. Read more ›

As the global population surpasses 8 billion, the challenge of producing sufficient food becomes increasingly pressing. The Netherlands stands as the world's second-largest food exporter, efficiently cultivating a wide variety of crops. However, plant diseases such as downy mildew pose significant threats, potentially spoiling farmers' harvests. Researchers have developed the first-ever method to monitor infections in plants in real-time, without the need to destroy them. This knowledge will aid in... Read more ›
