UK researchers found that tocilizumab, a common arthritis medication, helped people with depression who didn't respond to standard antidepressants. The breakthrough could offer hope to millions struggling with treatment-resistant depression.
A one-time gene-editing treatment just became the first to succeed in a major clinical trial, reducing dangerous swelling attacks by 87% for people with a rare genetic condition. The breakthrough could change what's possible for treating genetic diseases.
Scientists have transformed a CRISPR enzyme into a precision weapon that hunts down cancer cells while leaving healthy tissue untouched. The breakthrough could tackle "undruggable" cancers that have frustrated doctors for decades. #
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 Pennsylvania baby born with a deadly rare metabolic disorder is now thriving after doctors created the world's first personalized CRISPR gene therapy just for him. Six-month-old KJ can now eat protein and stopped all medications after three doses corrected his faulty gene.
Four promising new treatments could reach patients this spring, offering fresh hope for people battling hard-to-treat conditions. From the first-ever medication for a chronic liver infection to an at-home Alzheimer's treatment, these therapies represent real progress for patients who've been waiting.
Federal regulators just approved a groundbreaking melanoma treatment that transforms the herpes virus into a cancer-fighting weapon. For patients whose advanced skin cancer stopped responding to standard treatments, this innovative therapy offers new hope.
A Shanghai neurologist discovered a potential Alzheimer's therapy after his 90-year-old mother improved cognitively following ultrasound treatment for a different condition. His trial now tests high-intensity focused ultrasound as a standalone treatment, a promising departure from mainstream research.
A new HIV pill taken just once a week appears as effective as daily treatment in major studies. Over six million South Africans currently on daily HIV medication could benefit from simpler treatment.
A groundbreaking study will use advanced imaging to personalize cancer treatment, potentially cutting unnecessary therapy while helping more patients access care. The collaboration could transform how doctors decide when prostate cancer patients have received enough treatment.
For the first time in decades, Americans with treatment-resistant depression have two powerful new options that work differently than anything before. Clinical trials show these breakthrough treatments are helping patients who've struggled for years finally find relief.
People newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis who started B-cell therapy early had 62% fewer relapses than those on standard oral treatments. This breakthrough study gives doctors and patients clearer guidance on which treatments work best right from the start.
