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.
A breakthrough cystic fibrosis drug may also transform diabetes outcomes for 30% of Australian CF patients who develop the condition. New research will investigate whether Trikafta can prevent or slow cystic fibrosis-related diabetes.
Scientists are making breakthrough progress in treating Parkinson's disease, offering fresh hope to millions living with symptoms that often go far beyond visible tremors. New therapies and $2.5 billion in research funding are transforming how doctors understand and manage this complex condition.
A digital health company just made it dramatically easier for medical researchers to find the right patients for clinical trials, potentially speeding up the arrival of new treatments. Real-world health data from 95 million patients is now helping researchers avoid the delays that have plagued medical studies for decades.
Dr. Christopher Campos spent years delivering devastating ALS diagnoses to patients. Now diagnosed with the disease himself, he's using his unique perspective to advance research and patient care.
After 25 years at NBC News, Kristen Dahlgren left her dream job to solve a problem she discovered during her own breast cancer treatment: life-saving vaccine research wasn't reaching patients fast enough. Now she's partnering with one of America's top cancer research institutes to change that.
A new digital platform in Sweden is making it easier for patients to share their health data for rare disease research, with over 5,000 people now registered to help scientists find answers. When patients feel informed and involved, their willingness to contribute soars to 94%.
A PhD student from Germany has developed a tiny nanoparticle that could stop the immune system from destroying insulin-producing cells in type 1 diabetes patients. Her breakthrough might help people avoid transplants entirely.

When teenagers with bone cancer spoke directly to the FDA about their treatment experiences, regulators listened and changed how trials work. Now patient voices are becoming the most powerful tool in medical research.
When misinformation about Tylenol sparked fear, emergency room doctors stepped up to protect their pregnant patients. New research shows the medical community's swift response to dangerous claims about common painkillers.
A high school junior just became a published medical researcher, analyzing surgical techniques that could help liver cancer patients live longer. His work passed the same peer review process as professional scientists.
Researchers are asking tuberculosis patients what they need before developing a new long-acting injectable treatment. Their answers are already changing how drug makers approach the cure for a disease that killed 1.23 million people in 2024.
New research shows patient portals and health apps succeed when designed with real user input from the start. Simple text messages and human support still beat fancy AI when it comes to managing chronic disease.
Nigeria is closing the gap between scientific research and real healthcare through a new partnership with Stanford University. African scientists are getting hands-on training to transform their laboratory breakthroughs into treatments that reach patients.
An international team just released a "living library" of 665 cancer models grown from real patient tumors, giving researchers worldwide a powerful new tool to find better treatments. The collection covers 25 cancer types and includes rare cancers that have been missing from research for decades.
University of Miami researchers discovered why immunotherapy works for some mesothelioma patients but not others, opening the door to personalized treatment. A simple blood test could soon tell doctors which patients will respond best.
Stanford Medicine is building a revolutionary cancer research and treatment hub in Redwood City that will bring scientists and doctors under one roof to accelerate breakthrough discoveries. The integrated center aims to transform how cancer care works by connecting cutting-edge research directly to patient treatment.
Two research ethicists launched North Star Review Board to fix a broken system that's supposed to protect people in medical studies. Their nonprofit model offers hope after decades of scandals showed for-profit oversight boards putting profits before patient safety.
Nearly 100 cancer survivors and patient advocates from 22 states traveled to Washington to protect the medical research funding that saved their lives. Columbus survivor Morgan Loudon joined the effort to ensure future patients get the same fighting chance she received.
