Cancer patients at Mount Sinai can now connect one-on-one with trained mentors who've walked the same path, making treatment decisions feel less isolating. The new PATHS program especially helps patients understand clinical trials through personal experience, not just medical jargon.
Cancer patients considering clinical trials at Mount Sinai can now connect one-on-one with trained mentors who've walked the same path. The new PATHS program pairs patients with survivors and caregivers who understand their fears and questions firsthand.
Mount Sinai researchers have discovered a breakthrough immunotherapy combination that achieved complete tumor elimination in colorectal cancer models. The treatment restores communication between immune cells, offering hope for patients who don't respond to current therapies.
Researchers at Mount Sinai discovered a hidden pocket in a cancer protein that could lead to safer, more precise cancer drugs. The breakthrough reveals both AI's power and its limits in drug discovery.
Mount Sinai researchers discovered that focused radiation helps CAR-T therapy work better against tough-to-treat solid tumors like lung cancer and melanoma. The breakthrough could make this life-saving treatment safer and more effective for thousands of cancer patients.
Researchers at Mount Sinai created a therapy that doesn't attack cancer cells directly. Instead, it flips the immune cells protecting tumors, transforming defenders into destroyers.
Mount Sinai researchers made old blood stem cells behave like young ones again by repairing tiny cellular recycling centers, boosting their regenerative power eightfold. This discovery could lead to treatments that help elderly people maintain healthier immune systems and reduce risks of blood disorders.
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.
Mount Sinai researchers discovered that severe anemia in cancer patients taking PARP inhibitors often stems from a treatable folate deficiency, not unavoidable side effects. A simple folic acid supplement could help thousands stay on life-saving treatment.
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.

After nearly 18 months of halted funding that threatened decades of HIV and TB research, the US National Institutes of Health has reversed its ban on South Africa. The decision restores hope for global health progress and hundreds of research jobs.
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.
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.
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.
