New research shows that strong parental relationships in adulthood can actually shift how young people remember difficult childhoods. The discovery could transform how doctors and researchers understand trauma and healing.
Scientists discovered a simple visual trick that helps people remember their childhoods more vividly. By showing adults a younger version of their own face moving in sync with them, researchers helped unlock rich, detailed memories from early life.
Researchers at UVA are developing the first new treatment in 40 years for Ewing sarcoma, a rare childhood cancer that desperately needs better options. The breakthrough targets a protein once thought impossible to treat.
Researchers at Linköping University discovered how to block two proteins that fuel neuroblastoma, a devastating childhood cancer that resists current treatments. The breakthrough could lead to new precision medicines for kids under two.
Scientists at Brown University engineered microscopic worms to help find treatments for a devastating childhood paralysis condition that currently has no cure. The breakthrough could let researchers screen thousands of potential drugs quickly and affordably.
Stanford researchers have achieved major wins in three life-changing areas: a new immune therapy that shrank deadly childhood brain tumors in nine of 11 patients, a fertilizer that captures carbon while boosting crop yields by 50%, and a solar-powered device that harvests drinking water from thin air. These discoveries could transform cancer treatment, agriculture, and water access for millions.
Researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital discovered how childhood cancer treatments leave traceable patterns in DNA that could help doctors prevent second cancers decades later. This breakthrough opens doors to safer treatments and better monitoring for the 500,000 childhood cancer survivors in America.
Leading autism researchers and advocates formed a new independent committee to guide autism research priorities and counter recent federal changes. The group aims to unite the autism community and protect evidence-based research as funding reaches $568 million annually.
Southern Italy just gained its biggest pediatric research hospital after Santobono Pausilipon joined the nation's elite network of scientific medical institutes. The milestone brings specialized childhood disease research and treatment to a region that's needed it for decades.
A scientist who revolutionized protein research is now tackling science's reproducibility crisis with AI. His new approach could help researchers separate reliable studies from questionable ones, speeding up cures for diseases like Alzheimer's.
Scientists now have access to an AI tool that filters through 150 years of research data to deliver trustworthy answers in seconds. CAS Newton helps researchers move from question to verified answer without drowning in information overload.
A new AI system from China's Zhejiang University just claimed the top spot on an international test for autonomous scientific research, beating out major competitors. The breakthrough shows how AI is getting better at thinking through complex research problems independently.
When US funding cuts threatened to collapse decades of life-saving health research in South Africa, the country fought back with a $32 million rescue package. Now 59 critical HIV and tuberculosis research projects are moving forward.
Billions in private donations are accelerating life-saving medical discoveries that might otherwise take decades or never happen. From cancer treatments to brain disease research, philanthropic funding is helping researchers pursue bold ideas with the flexibility government grants can't provide.
South Korea is creating a new research movement to produce globally recognized scientists like Jane Goodall by focusing on uniquely Korean topics. The K-Science initiative aims to blend the nation's culture, history, and environment with cutting-edge research.
Jennifer Ferris transformed a "Wild Wild West" research environment into a thriving 17-person operation, earning the first university-wide staff award ever given to UT Health Sciences' Knoxville campus. Her journey from solo clinical trial coordinator to award-winning director shows how one person's vision can reshape an entire research community.
Nigeria's medical research institute has unveiled a biobank containing over 400,000 biological samples that could revolutionize how the country understands and treats diseases. The massive collection offers locally generated data that researchers say will lead to better health outcomes for millions of Africans.
Bangladesh is bringing together government officials, researchers, and development experts to prove that investing in children early creates lasting social mobility and breaks generational poverty. New evidence shows supporting early childhood development delivers better returns than interventions later in life.
Four-year-old Emmett Bledsoe just finished treatment for stage four cancer, and he's already helping other kids by running a lemonade stand for childhood cancer research. With help from his big sister, he's turning his toughest battle into hope for families still fighting.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
