In what is believed to be the first study of its kind, new UVA Health research reveals that a factory-calibrated continuous glucose monitor (CGM) may be sufficiently accurate for use by people on dialysis, a group often plagued by dangerous swings in blood-sugar levels.
School of Medicine researchers have created an important new resource to provide a better look at how genes in specific cells contribute to the risk of heart disease, a leading cause of death worldwide.
Adults with chronic kidney disease are less likely to eat fruits and vegetables than similar people without the disease, according to new University of Virginia School of Medicine research, though the study found that many Americans eat few fruits and vegetables.
A gene that UVA Health researchers discovered is responsible for the deadliest type of brain tumor is also responsible for two forms of childhood cancer, the scientists have found.
Scientists at the School of Medicine and their collaborators have used DNA to overcome a nearly insurmountable obstacle to engineer materials that would revolutionize electronics.
A monoclonal antibody used to treat asthma and eczema can improve survival for patients with moderate to severe COVID-19, a clinical trial conducted at UVA Health suggests.
Researchers have developed a technique that enables a robot to learn a new pick-and-place task with only a handful of human demonstrations.
Cattle welfare experts rate the welfare of dairy cattle as lower than that of beef cattle, research from the University of Copenhagen shows. For this, 70 leading experts from across the globe rated the common dairy and beef production systems in their own country.
A new approach could make it possible to detect the elusive Unruh effect in hours, rather than billions of years.
The field of veterinary oncology has advanced greatly over the last decade, and veterinarians have an important role in advising owners on whether and when certain treatments, such as radiotherapy, are indicated for dogs and cats.
New technology could help generate hydrogen and chemical industry ingredients.
PhD candidate Jonathan Zong found a lack of systems that earn and maintain public trust in large-scale online research — so he made one himself.
Their model’s predictions should help researchers improve ocean climate simulations and hone the design of offshore structures.
Scientists have created a design and fabrication tool for soft pneumatic actuators for integrated sensing, which can power personalized health care, smart homes, and gaming.
Researchers create a mathematical framework to evaluate explanations of machine-learning models and quantify how well people understand them.
