For the first time in years, doctors have a promising new weapon against one of the deadliest cancers. A targeted therapy that blocks specific gene mutations is bringing fresh hope to pancreatic cancer patients and their families.
A world-first inhaled RNA therapy that targets the root cause of lung disease has entered human trials in Australia. The breakthrough could transform treatment for nine million Australians living with chronic lung conditions.
Scientists have begun testing a breakthrough gene therapy that could restore hearing for people with the most common genetic cause of deafness. Skylark Bio just dosed their first patient, marking a major step toward helping millions born with this genetic mutation.
A groundbreaking treatment focuses on rebuilding patients' capacity for happiness rather than just reducing negative feelings, showing better results than standard therapy. Nearly 90% of people with depression struggle to feel joy, a symptom most treatments ignore.
Cancer researchers are celebrating a major win in the fight against multiple myeloma as death rates decline thanks to breakthrough targeted therapies. Patients diagnosed with this once-deadly blood cancer now have more reasons for hope than ever before.
Volunteer therapy dogs are making rounds at WellSpan hospitals, bringing comfort and smiles to patients, families, and healthcare workers during their toughest days. One patient who hadn't spoken in five years after a car accident tried to talk when a therapy dog laid its head on her shoulder.
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 have developed the first brain-targeted gene therapy that stops chronic pain without addiction risk, offering hope to 50 million Americans. Early tests show it works like morphine but skips the dangerous side effects that fuel the opioid crisis.
Scientists at University College London have developed the first targeted therapy for children with genetic kidney disease, a condition that currently has no treatment and often leads to lifelong dialysis or transplant. The precision RNA treatment delivered directly to tiny kidney filters reduced protein leakage and scarring in early tests.
Two Wisconsin health systems are launching advanced proton therapy programs that can target tumors with millimeter precision while protecting healthy tissue. The breakthrough treatment offers new hope for cancer patients, especially children and those with hard-to-reach tumors.
Wisconsin cancer patients now have access to cutting-edge proton therapy as two major health systems bring this precision treatment to the state for the first time. The technology targets tumors with near-light-speed particles while protecting healthy tissue.
Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine developed a breakthrough mRNA treatment that successfully restored embryo implantation in mice with damaged uterine linings, offering new hope for people struggling with infertility. The therapy targets the womb directly and could help patients who can't achieve pregnancy even with IVF.
Scientists created a breakthrough mRNA treatment that shields insulin-producing cells from immune attacks, potentially preventing type 1 diabetes before it starts. Early tests in mice show the nanoparticle therapy successfully reached target cells and delayed disease progression.
A Boston biotech company has treated the first person with a gene therapy designed to reverse cellular aging in the human body. The groundbreaking treatment targets serious eye diseases that cause blindness by resetting damaged cells to a younger, healthier state.
Two boys with severe epilepsy are living seizure-reduced lives after receiving personalized gene therapy that targeted their unique brain abnormalities. The treatment also improved their developmental skills, offering new hope for families facing debilitating neurological disorders.
Scientists in West Michigan are creating breakthrough treatments that attack the root causes of ALS rather than just managing symptoms. Their work focuses on fixing the genetic mutations that trigger this devastating disease.
A one-time gene therapy targeting a devastating inherited heart condition just earned special FDA status, bringing hope to families facing early heart failure. The treatment addresses the root genetic cause rather than just managing symptoms.
A new study shows stage IV cancer patients can now receive targeted radiation therapy without pausing their chemotherapy, potentially saving precious weeks in their fight. This breakthrough could change treatment for thousands of patients with limited metastatic disease.
Scientists have treated the first person with a groundbreaking gene therapy designed to make aged cells behave young again. The trial targets glaucoma but could open doors to reversing age-related damage throughout the body.
A biochemist who started her career fascinated by soap has engineered a breakthrough cancer treatment using near-infrared light that targets tumors without harming healthy tissue. The therapy is now moving toward real-world use through a startup company.
