A new treatment using specially prepared immune cells has helped people with cirrhosis avoid liver transplants and live longer. The infusions of modified macrophages mark a potential breakthrough for the 2 million Americans living with this life-threatening liver disease.
Children born with a life-threatening immune disorder now have hope thanks to a newly approved gene therapy that could save their lives with a single treatment. The FDA just greenlit Kresladi, a breakthrough for severe LAD-1 that leaves kids defenseless against infections.
Scientists are proving what ancient cultures knew all along: spending time among trees strengthens your immune system and protects against respiratory diseases. Countries like Japan and South Korea now prescribe forest therapy as official healthcare.
Scientists are launching a groundbreaking trial to rejuvenate exhausted immune cells in older adults and people with chronic diseases. The therapy could help immune systems function like they're young again.
A groundbreaking quality certification for cutting-edge immune cell therapies just passed its first inspection, opening the door for safer treatment expansion beyond cancer into autoimmune diseases. The framework ensures patients receive consistent, high-quality care as these life-changing therapies reach more people.
Scientists created a breakthrough two-part treatment that restores insulin-producing cells and protects them from immune attacks, potentially freeing millions from daily insulin injections. The therapy combines lab-grown cells with engineered immune "bodyguard" cells.
A Cambridge biotech just secured $5 million to fast-track a groundbreaking Alzheimer's treatment that targets brain inflammation instead of protein buildup. The therapy could help millions by addressing a root cause that's been overlooked for decades.
A breakthrough therapy is giving advanced melanoma patients new hope by supercharging their own immune systems to fight cancer. One survivor has remained cancer-free for six years after treatment.
A therapist noticed runners open up more easily while moving, sparking a growing trend in outdoor therapy sessions. Walk-and-talk therapy combines mental health support with the proven benefits of nature and exercise.
Scientists have successfully reversed heart failure damage using engineered immune cells, offering hope to millions. The therapy reduced scarring and restored heart function in both animal and primate studies without harmful side effects.
Millions living with lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis could soon trade a lifetime of medication for a single treatment. Sail Biomedicines is unveiling breakthrough data on a therapy that reprograms immune cells inside the body to potentially cure autoimmune diseases.
Scientists are launching a groundbreaking trial to rejuvenate tired immune cells in older adults, potentially turning back the biological clock on aging. The experimental therapy could help people fight disease as effectively at 70 as they did at 30.
Scientists created a breakthrough mRNA treatment that shields insulin-producing cells from immune attacks, potentially preventing type 1 diabetes before it starts. Early tests in mice show the nanoparticle therapy successfully reached target cells and delayed disease progression.
A breakthrough cancer treatment is giving hope to millions living with autoimmune diseases. Early trials show CAR T-cell therapy could offer a one-time "immune reset" instead of lifelong medications.
University of Chicago scientists developed a breakthrough mRNA therapy that protects insulin-producing cells from immune attacks, potentially preventing type 1 diabetes before it starts. Early tests in animals show the treatment successfully shields the cells that the disease destroys.
A breakthrough treatment originally designed for cancer is giving hope to over 5 million Indians living with autoimmune diseases. CAR T-cell therapy is helping patients with lupus and arthritis reduce lifelong medications by resetting their faulty immune systems.
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 19-year-old from Kelowna, B.C., became the first Canadian cured of a life-threatening immune disease using groundbreaking gene editing technology. His doctor says he no longer needs to worry about deadly infections sneaking past his weakened immune system.
Five people with severe lupus are now in remission after receiving a groundbreaking therapy that reprogrammed their own immune cells, marking what doctors call a potential cure for the chronic disease. One patient who couldn't walk from pain recently skied and danced at her daughter's wedding.
A breakthrough immune therapy is transforming multiple myeloma from a disease that always returned into one where patients can reach long-term remission. More than 36,000 Americans diagnosed this year now have access to treatments once considered impossible.
