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.
Australian scientists are launching a five-year program to help more leukemia patients stop treatment permanently. Only one in three chronic myeloid leukemia patients can safely quit therapy today, but new research aims to change that.
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.
Karen Bohn had six days to live when doctors diagnosed her rare leukemia in 2019. Thanks to a treatment breakthrough funded by decades of research, she's now five years cancer-free and celebrating at the tournament that helped save her life.
A groundbreaking five-year research program could help two-thirds of chronic myeloid leukemia patients stop treatment forever instead of taking daily medication for life. Scientists are now focused on understanding why some patients can safely quit therapy while others cannot.
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.
Hannah Cole was diagnosed with leukemia on her 10th birthday, but a clinical trial at Yale's Smilow Cancer Hospital is giving her family real hope. Her story shows how research funding directly saves young lives.
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.
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.
