A husband-and-wife research team turned their midnight lab conversations at the University of Virginia into ziftomenib, a newly FDA-approved drug now saving lives of leukemia patients who had run out of options. Their 17-year journey from academic research to life-saving treatment shows how university labs can tackle diseases others overlook.
A new FDA program will speed up early-stage clinical trials by up to a year, making life-saving treatments reach patients faster. The initiative aims to bring more medical research back to the United States.
A groundbreaking breast cancer therapy just became the first FDA-approved drug of its kind, born from Yale research that began over two decades ago. The new treatment offers hope to thousands of women with an aggressive form of breast cancer.
President Trump signed an executive order to speed up research and potential FDA approval of psychedelic therapies for veterans suffering from PTSD, depression, and addiction. While the move brings hope to those who've exhausted traditional treatments, experts emphasize these therapies still need rigorous testing in controlled settings.
Women with triple-negative breast cancer now have a powerful new first-line treatment option, thanks to research at Emory University. The FDA-approved combination therapy is giving hope to patients who once faced less than a year of survival.
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.
The FDA approved leucovorin for cerebral folate deficiency, a rare genetic brain disorder affecting fewer than one in a million people. The decision brings clarity after months of confusion about the drug's potential uses.
The U.S. government just launched major initiatives to phase out animal testing in drug development, backing new methods that better simulate human biology. The FDA released new guidance while the NIH committed over $150 million to institutions pioneering alternatives.
Scientists discovered an existing FDA-approved medication could prevent the deadliest part of breast cancer: when it spreads to other organs. The breakthrough offers new hope for patients with aggressive triple negative breast cancer.
Scientists created a 3D chip that mimics human tumors so accurately it could replace animal testing in cancer research. The breakthrough means faster, more precise treatments tailored for actual human biology.
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.
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.
The FDA suddenly agreed to review Moderna's revolutionary mRNA flu vaccine after initially rejecting it just a week earlier. Meanwhile, scientists developed an inhaled vaccine that could protect against multiple respiratory illnesses at once.
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.
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.
A rare disease nonprofit co-founded by Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder is revolutionizing medical research by acting like a venture capital firm, turning every dollar into multiple cures. Their innovative funding model has already contributed to three FDA-approved treatments for a devastating skin disease that once had no hope.
A simple blood test could soon help doctors diagnose strokes in minutes, potentially saving thousands from disability or death. The FDA just granted breakthrough status to the first rapid blood test for detecting the most common type of stroke.
