A massive Danish study of 1.5 million children brings reassuring news for expectant mothers worried about Tylenol use. The research found no link between taking the common pain reliever during pregnancy and autism in children.
A small clinical trial shows promise for a dialysis-like treatment that could help pregnant people with severe preeclampsia carry their babies longer without emergency delivery. The condition affects 4% of U.S. pregnancies and currently has no cure except delivering the baby, often prematurely.
For the first time, researchers have tracked how a mother's brain rewires itself during pregnancy, revealing widespread changes in nearly every brain region. The groundbreaking Maternal Brain Project is finally studying what happens to women's brains during motherhood, a topic science has largely ignored until now.
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.
A groundbreaking Spanish study reveals pregnancy changes brain structure in positive ways, reshaping grey matter to help moms bond with and care for their babies. The findings flip the script on "baby brain," showing these changes represent specialized rewiring, not decline.
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.
A groundbreaking UCLA study of 7,000 women reveals that pregnancy and breastfeeding are connected to better cognitive function decades later. The findings could reshape how we approach Alzheimer's prevention for women.
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 study has identified the gene responsible for severe pregnancy nausea that affects up to 10% of pregnant people. The discovery could finally lead to effective treatments for a condition that has long been dismissed and misunderstood.
