For millions of people living with chronic hepatitis B, long term treatment has been the only option. EU funded researchers are joining forces to develop combination therapy that could one day free patients from lifelong medication.

EU-funded researchers are uncovering how music shapes the brain, paving the way for advances in medicine, education and brain-computer technologies.

EU-funded researchers have developed a 3D bioprinting technique to grow living bone, fat and muscle tissue in the lab, opening doors to applications ranging from leukaemia research to cultivated meat.

Diabetic foot ulcers can lead to serious health complications. EU-funded researchers have developed a new therapy to tackle the runaway inflammation that makes these wounds so hard to heal.

Hidden hearing loss affects millions, but has no diagnosis or treatment options. EU-funded researchers have developed tools that could change both.

EU-funded researchers are using silk-based bone marrow “factories” to grow platelets in the lab, helping to lower our dependence on limited donor blood supplies.

Once considered impossible, restoring movement after paralysis is becoming a reality thanks to EU-funded researchers who have developed a device that reconnects the brain to the body.

Rare neuromuscular diseases often lack treatments because developing targeted drugs is slow, costly and risky for companies. A new approach using AI and stem cell models could finally shift the balance.

From city air to drinking water, microplastics are becoming impossible to avoid. EU-funded researchers are now exploring how these tiny particles interact with our bodies and assessing their long-term health impact.

Although powerful treatments exist for rheumatoid arthritis, doctors can’t always predict which drug will work best for each person. An EU-funded initiative aims to change that by optimising and personalising care.
