Researchers have released the world's first open dataset combining two brain imaging methods that track stroke recovery, allowing scientists everywhere to develop better rehabilitation tools. The free data could help millions of stroke survivors regain movement faster.
Researchers discovered how to keep brain cells healing for months after a stroke, potentially helping millions recover abilities they thought were lost forever. A new treatment sustained recovery even in the chronic phase when improvement typically stops.
A 20-year study of over 105,000 women found that eating Mediterranean foods like olive oil, nuts, and vegetables can reduce stroke risk by up to 25%. The research offers hope for preventing one of the world's most devastating diseases.
German researchers discovered a safer way to prevent dangerous blood clots without increasing bleeding risk. The breakthrough could protect millions from heart attacks and strokes while avoiding the dangerous side effects of current medications.
University of Hong Kong researchers created the world's first nasal spray that delivers stroke medication directly to the brain, potentially reducing brain damage by over 80%. Clinical trials start in 2030, with plans to eventually make it available in pharmacies.
Researchers discovered that strengthening the body's natural daily rhythms helps stroke survivors recover even when treatment starts days after injury. The breakthrough could transform rehabilitation for millions of stroke survivors worldwide.
Researchers at UT Health San Antonio are revolutionizing stroke recovery by urging doctors to diagnose and treat painful muscle stiffness much earlier. This shift could help millions of stroke survivors walk, move, and reclaim their independence.
A simple blood test that can rapidly detect the most common type of stroke just received breakthrough status from the FDA. The innovation could help prevent the one in six strokes that doctors initially miss.
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.
Stroke survivors who feel safe talking about their fears and emotions recover faster physically and mentally than those who keep feelings bottled up. A new study shows that emotional openness matters just as much as stroke severity for long-term recovery.
A simple blood test could soon help doctors diagnose strokes in minutes, potentially saving thousands from disability or death. The FDA just granted breakthrough status to the first rapid blood test for detecting the most common type of stroke.
A groundbreaking stroke treatment that works differently than any medication created in three decades just dosed its first patient in Arizona. BB-031 could help thousands of stroke patients who miss the narrow treatment window for current therapies.
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.
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.
Korean researchers developed AI technology that spots stroke warning signs weeks before diagnosis by monitoring daily activities in older adults' homes. The breakthrough could shift healthcare from treating disease to preventing it.
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.
