Northwestern University researchers developed a breakthrough therapy that grabs "undruggable" cancer proteins and drags them to the cell's trash system for destruction. The approach worked against MYC and KRAS, two proteins that drive many aggressive cancers and resist most treatments.
A groundbreaking Danish project just received $3.8 million to develop the world's first therapy that could stop Parkinson's disease by destroying the toxic proteins that cause it. Instead of just treating symptoms, this approach aims to halt the disease entirely.
Scientists at UC San Diego have developed a gene therapy that shields brain cells from toxic proteins linked to dementia, successfully preserving memory in mice. The treatment could offer hope for millions facing Alzheimer's, frontotemporal dementia, and ALS.
A new gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy met its main goal in trials, bringing hope to families facing this devastating disease. The treatment successfully helped 28 of 30 patients produce a crucial muscle protein that could slow disease progression.
A therapist noticed runners open up more easily while moving, sparking a growing trend in outdoor therapy sessions. Walk-and-talk therapy combines mental health support with the proven benefits of nature and exercise.
Scientists at Brunel University and UCL have developed a stem cell treatment that could prevent Friedreich's ataxia before symptoms appear. In mice, the therapy restored near-normal protein levels and improved movement, offering hope for children facing this devastating condition.
A Pennsylvania baby born with a deadly genetic disorder is now thriving after doctors created the world's first personalized CRISPR treatment just for him. Baby KJ can now eat protein and has stopped all medications after three doses of the groundbreaking therapy.
A Pennsylvania baby born with a deadly rare metabolic disorder is now thriving after doctors created the world's first personalized CRISPR gene therapy just for him. Six-month-old KJ can now eat protein and stopped all medications after three doses corrected his faulty gene.
Scientists created a breakthrough treatment that successfully restored missing muscle protein in models of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, dramatically improving strength and endurance without the dangerous side effects of current therapies. The new approach could transform treatment for rare genetic disorders and beyond.
South Korean researchers discovered a protective protein that naturally shields cartilage from destruction, opening the door to treatments that could halt osteoarthritis instead of just masking the pain. A single gene therapy injection showed lasting benefits in animal studies.
A 26-year-old Louisiana man received the state's first gene therapy treatment for severe hemophilia A, potentially ending his need for lifelong infusions. The breakthrough treatment allows his body to produce the clotting protein it previously couldn't make.
Children born deaf from a genetic mutation can now hear naturally thanks to a groundbreaking gene therapy just approved by the FDA. The one-time treatment restores a missing protein in the inner ear, allowing sound signals to reach the brain.
A four-year-old Australian boy has become the first child in the country to receive a revolutionary gene therapy for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a devastating condition that causes skin to blister at the slightest touch. The treatment is helping his body produce the critical protein his skin has been missing since birth.
Women are leading a worldwide shift toward higher protein intake, with 51% of new protein seekers being female. The change reflects a growing focus on fitness, healthy aging, and overall wellness.
Scientists discovered a secret "control panel" on a protein that powers billion-dollar cancer treatments, opening the door to safer, more targeted therapies. The breakthrough could let doctors destroy disease while protecting healthy cells.
A safer gene therapy for Duchenne muscular dystrophy just hit a major milestone, bringing hope to families facing this fatal muscle disease. The treatment could offer a better option than current therapies linked to serious side effects.
Scientists at the University at Buffalo discovered that boosting a single inflammation-fighting protein helped elderly mice become stronger, more energetic, and develop healthier bones. The breakthrough could eventually lead to treatments helping people stay independent and healthy well into their 90s.
After 15 years of skepticism, scientists finally cracked a technology that lets microscopes see tiny proteins in stunning detail. The laser phase plate could unlock mysteries about how proteins work inside living cells.
Volunteer therapy dogs are providing emotional support to young patients and their families at Phoenix Children's Hospital. The four-legged visitors help ease anxiety and bring moments of joy during difficult hospital stays.
A breakthrough cancer treatment delivers radiation with pinpoint accuracy, sparing healthy tissue while attacking tumors. The University of Kansas Cancer Center is leading research that could transform how millions receive radiation therapy.
