Veterans with combat PTSD saw significant symptom reduction using MRI-guided brain stimulation in a clinical trial. This non-invasive treatment could offer new hope for those who haven't found relief with traditional therapy.
Scientists in Melbourne discovered a specific brain circuit that explains why common PTSD treatments work brilliantly for some patients but fall short for others. The breakthrough could help millions get therapy that actually matches their brain's needs.
A breakthrough University of Utah study shows red light therapy completely prevented brain inflammation in football players over a full season. The simple treatment could protect athletes, soldiers, and first responders from long-term cognitive damage.
After 20 years of groundbreaking brain research, a powerhouse science team is pivoting to develop gene therapies for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Their expertise could unlock new treatments for millions living with brain diseases.
Scientists have developed a gene therapy that completely eliminated aggressive brain tumors in 83% of animal trials, with no recurrence over 11 months. The breakthrough treatment for glioblastoma, the deadliest brain cancer, uses a "Trojan horse" approach that kills cancer cells while training the immune system to fight back.
A groundbreaking immune cell therapy caused aggressive brain tumors to shrink dramatically within days in early trials. The treatment offers new hope for glioblastoma, one of the deadliest cancers with few effective options.
Scientists used a precise gene-editing tool to fix a rare brain disorder in mice, reversing learning problems and behavioral issues after birth. The breakthrough suggests that genetic brain damage might not be permanent, offering new hope for treating neurodevelopmental conditions.
Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a gene therapy that shields brain cells from toxic proteins linked to dementia, successfully preserving memory in mice. The treatment could offer hope for millions facing Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, and ALS.
An eight-month-old infant in Israel became the first person to receive groundbreaking gene therapy that restores missing brain function, potentially saving children from a devastating form of epilepsy. The treatment represents years of research turning into real hope for families facing ultra-rare genetic diseases.
A New Mexico court worker who couldn't drive or work after long COVID returned to normal life following eight weeks of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Scientists are studying whether pressurized oxygen chambers could help millions suffering from the debilitating condition.
After decades of studying how the brain works, scientists at Seattle's Allen Institute are launching a major effort to develop genetic therapies for previously untreatable brain diseases. The breakthrough comes from mapping millions of brain cells and understanding exactly which neurons fail in conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's.
A groundbreaking study shows that pinpoint radiation therapy helps brain cancer patients think clearer, feel better, and stay independent longer than traditional whole-brain treatment. This approach could transform care for thousands diagnosed with multiple brain tumors each year.
After decades of studying how the brain works, researchers say they're finally ready to start fixing it when disease strikes. A new $400 million initiative will use genetic therapies to tackle Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other devastating brain disorders.
A quick, personalized brain stimulation therapy is now available in Arkansas for people whose depression hasn't responded to medication or counseling. The FDA-approved SAINT system at UAMS takes just five days and helps restore normal brain function.
Ireland just became the first country to offer free hormone therapy for menopause, a move that could help protect millions of women from Alzheimer's disease. New research shows the treatment may do far more than ease hot flashes.
Japan just greenlit two groundbreaking stem cell treatments that could restore hope for people with Parkinson's disease and severe heart failure. These are the first therapies of their kind available anywhere in the world.
A startup is bringing hope to glioblastoma patients with an experimental CAR-T therapy that made all three initial patients' tumors shrink dramatically. One patient remains cancer-free more than 2.5 years after treatment.
A new UCLA study shows an intensive five-day magnetic brain stimulation protocol works as well as the traditional six-week treatment for depression. This breakthrough could help thousands of patients who struggle to commit to months of clinic visits.
A new radiation therapy delivered during brain tumor surgery more than doubled survival time compared to standard treatment, eliminating weeks of waiting and uncertainty for patients. The breakthrough means cancer patients can receive radiation immediately instead of waiting up to a month after surgery.
A breakthrough gene therapy wiped out aggressive brain tumors in 83% of cases with a single dose and no side effects for nearly a year. The treatment also taught the immune system to prevent the cancer from returning.
