Researchers discovered how to prevent the protein misfolding that damages insulin-producing cells in diabetes, opening the door to treatments that address the disease's root cause instead of just managing symptoms.
Researchers have created a groundbreaking pill that could eliminate the need for daily insulin injections for diabetes patients. The innovation promises to transform diabetes management for millions worldwide.
Japanese researchers developed a peptide pill that helps insulin survive digestion and enter the bloodstream, potentially ending daily injections for millions with diabetes. The breakthrough could transform diabetes care worldwide, especially in countries like India where treatment access remains challenging.
Researchers in Japan have developed an insulin pill that could replace daily injections for millions with diabetes. Early tests in mice showed the oral medication significantly lowered blood sugar with just one dose per day.
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.
A new study shows people with type 1 diabetes who switched to a low-fat vegan diet reduced their daily insulin use by nearly 30 percent in just 12 weeks. The breakthrough findings suggest a simple dietary change could help millions manage their condition more effectively.
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.
Japanese researchers have developed a peptide technology that allows insulin to be taken as a pill instead of an injection, achieving remarkable effectiveness in diabetic mice. This century-old dream could transform diabetes treatment for millions who endure daily needles.
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.
Researchers in Tokyo have discovered a gene that causes dangerous insulin tumors, opening the door to better treatments for patients who suffer life-threatening blood sugar crashes. The breakthrough could transform care for people with insulinomas, tumors that have puzzled doctors for decades.
Finland's Kordelin Foundation is handing early career researchers €45,000 grants to turn their doctoral work into real-world impact. The program supports fresh PhDs exploring everything from groundbreaking research to startup ventures.
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.
Stanford Medicine researchers reversed Type 1 diabetes in mice using a groundbreaking dual transplant that resets the immune system. The animals stayed diabetes-free for six months without insulin or immune suppressing drugs.
Women with higher insulin at age 47 experience menopause symptoms earlier and longer, a breakthrough study reveals. The discovery opens doors to managing hot flashes through diet and exercise instead of just medication.
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.
