A major clinical trial shows magnetic seizure therapy treats severe depression as effectively as electroconvulsive therapy, but with far fewer memory problems. This breakthrough could help thousands who avoid current treatments due to cognitive side effects.
Researchers reversed age-related memory loss and Alzheimer's symptoms in mice by rejuvenating specific memory neurons. The breakthrough offers hope that cognitive decline might not be permanent after all.
Scientists in Spain have developed a breakthrough compound that doesn't just slow Alzheimer's disease but actually reverses memory loss and cognitive decline in mice. The drug works differently than current treatments by targeting the root genetic causes instead of just clearing protein plaques.
Scientists discovered that blocking a specific protein helps brain cells clear harmful plaques and improves memory in Alzheimer's models. The breakthrough could lead to combination therapies that slow the disease more effectively than current treatments.
A new, stronger version of the popular weight loss medication Wegovy just got FDA approval, giving more Americans access to potentially more effective obesity treatment. The approval came through a new fast-track program designed to speed up medicines that address major health priorities.
A root used in traditional Chinese medicine for over 1,000 years is gaining scientific support as a multi-targeted treatment for pattern hair loss. Researchers found it may work through several pathways at once, offering hope for people seeking alternatives to existing medications.
Researchers discovered that immune cells in the bloodstream contribute to age-related memory decline, and blocking them reversed cognitive aging in mice. The breakthrough could lead to treatments that improve memory without needing to target the brain directly.
A smart brain implant that learns from your own neural patterns just became the first device to receive breakthrough status for treating memory loss after traumatic brain injury. More than 4 million Americans living with TBI-related disability may finally have hope for a treatment.
A simple nasal swab test developed at Duke can now detect Alzheimer's disease before symptoms appear, identifying cases with 81% accuracy. The quick procedure could finally allow doctors to start treatment years before memory loss begins.
Scientists are testing whether vagus nerve stimulation, already used to treat epilepsy and depression, could keep a key brain region healthy and protect against memory loss. Early research suggests this gentle therapy might help maintain brain function as we age.
French researchers reversed memory loss in mice by boosting the tiny power plants inside brain cells, offering fresh hope for future Alzheimer's treatments. The breakthrough suggests energy failure may drive dementia symptoms before neurons actually die.
Millions who lost their sense of smell during COVID now have real hope. Scientists are testing breakthrough treatments that could restore this life-changing sense.
A 79-year-old grandfather from Pompano Beach became Florida's second person to try a breakthrough Alzheimer's treatment, and he says it's transforming his life. His progress offers hope to millions of families watching loved ones battle memory loss.
After nearly three decades with only two FDA-approved options that largely excluded women, three new hair loss drugs designed specifically for both men and women are heading toward approval. The first could reach pharmacies by late 2027.
New research in mice reveals how estrogen loss during menopause affects the brain's communication network, potentially explaining why two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients are women. The discovery validates what many women experience and opens doors for future treatments.
A new weight-loss pill that can be taken any time of day just won FDA approval, making treatment easier for millions of Americans. The once-daily tablet offers a needle-free alternative starting at $149 monthly.
Pfizer's experimental obesity drug could change weight loss treatment from 52 injections per year to just 12. The once-monthly therapy showed promising results while making long-term treatment far more convenient for patients.
Scientists in China discovered a new way to clear toxic proteins from the brain by targeting a lung receptor, improving memory and learning in mice with Alzheimer's disease. The approach tackles multiple causes of the disease at once, offering fresh hope beyond existing treatments.
A new under-the-skin implant might solve the biggest challenge facing weight loss patients: staying on treatment long enough to keep pounds off. The device delivers steady doses of the same medicine in Ozempic and Wegovy, potentially reducing side effects and making treatment easier.
After losing her husband and facing a blinding eye disease, 73-year-old Cathy refused to let geographic atrophy dim her spark. She found a treatment that's slowing her vision loss and rediscovered her independence through piano, sewing, and small daily joys.
