Nine patients with aggressive cancers are responding to a groundbreaking cell therapy that works like an on-off switch, avoiding the exhaustion problem that has limited cancer treatments. The therapy showed zero serious side effects and actual tumor shrinkage in patients who had already tried four other treatments.
After years of conflict in eastern DR Congo, rival parties agreed to open humanitarian corridors and release prisoners within 10 days. The Switzerland talks mark a major step forward for millions caught in the crossfire.
Scientists finally have a tool to measure the extreme fatigue that haunts cancer survivors long after treatment ends. A specialized MRI can now peek inside muscle cells to see how their energy factories are recovering.
Scientists discovered a signature pattern in gut bacteria that reveals who's at risk for Parkinson's disease years before any symptoms appear. The breakthrough could lead to dietary changes and new treatments that prevent or delay the condition affecting 8.5 million people worldwide.
A groundbreaking study has identified the gene responsible for severe pregnancy nausea that affects up to 10% of pregnant people. The discovery could finally lead to effective treatments for a condition that has long been dismissed and misunderstood.
Scientists have developed a breakthrough device that filters a harmful protein from blood, potentially saving lives of sepsis patients. Animal trials showed survival rates more than doubled, with human trials planned for 2027.
Twenty people with smoldering multiple myeloma have zero detectable cancer cells after receiving an aggressive immunotherapy treatment. The results are so complete that researchers are cautiously using a word they usually avoid: cure.
Northwestern University researchers created artificial neurons that mimic real brain cells so well they can activate living mouse neurons. This breakthrough could dramatically reduce the massive energy consumption powering today's AI systems.
A new artificial intelligence model could help scientists develop life-saving medicines faster, cutting years off a process that typically takes over a decade. GPT-Rosalind is already helping top research institutions find breakthrough treatments.
A new hybrid transmission system for big trucks could slash carbon emissions by nearly three-quarters in delivery routes while keeping costs practical for trucking companies. The breakthrough offers a real-world bridge to cleaner transport without forcing fleets to go fully electric overnight.
A breakthrough medication helped highly treatment-resistant epilepsy patients reduce their seizures by more than half in a major clinical trial. The once-daily pill works through an entirely new mechanism and could reach patients by next year.
