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.
Scientists at Emory University are developing a targeted treatment for childhood leukemia that could save young lives without the harsh side effects of traditional chemotherapy. The new approach attacks cancer cells precisely, sparing hair follicles, healthy tissues, and long-term quality of life.
Researchers at University of Chicago discovered why a mutation makes adult leukemia so resistant to treatment and identified a strategy that could extend survival by a year. The breakthrough could reshape how doctors treat one in 10 adult leukemia patients.
Researchers at the University of Oslo have found a way to halt cancer stem cells in acute myeloid leukemia by targeting a molecule previously thought to worsen the disease. The breakthrough could lead to personalized treatments that stop cancer before it spreads.
Google's new AI system just helped discover promising leukemia treatments that actually worked in laboratory experiments. This isn't science fiction anymore—it's real progress happening right now in cancer research.
Jackson Trinh beat leukemia at age 9 after two years of intense treatment, and now he's helping raise millions for pediatric cancer research. His partnership with a nationwide nonprofit has contributed to over $300 million in research funding.
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.
Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering developed a groundbreaking CAR T cell therapy that targets leukemia while sparing healthy blood cells. The innovation came from studying patients whose cancer went into long-term remission.
A leukemia survivor and a researcher who beat cancer are driving groundbreaking pediatric cancer research at Purdue University, inspired by beloved student Tyler Trent. Their work focuses on making treatments safer and more effective for kids fighting cancer.
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.
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.
A groundbreaking blood test can predict which leukemia patients are most likely to relapse after bone marrow transplants, helping doctors personalize treatment. The discovery could transform care for thousands battling this aggressive blood cancer.
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.
Young leukemia patients are beating cancer at remarkable rates thanks to a groundbreaking Australian treatment that swaps harsh chemo for immune therapy. Nearly 9 in 10 patients remain cancer-free three years later.
A breakthrough combination therapy is giving aggressive leukemia patients new hope, nearly doubling remission rates and opening the door to life-saving transplants. The treatment developed in Germany could soon become the new standard of care.
A new AI system called Co-Scientist just helped researchers discover promising new treatments for acute myeloid leukemia that worked in laboratory experiments. The breakthrough shows how artificial intelligence can speed up the slow, expensive process of finding new medical cures.
