A major new study brings hope to families: with the right early intervention, about two-thirds of nonspeaking autistic children learn to speak words, and half develop complex language. The research also reveals how to improve outcomes for those who need extra support.
A groundbreaking five-year study shows women with early breast cancer can skip surgery entirely with carbon-ion therapy, achieving 100% survival and minimal side effects. This precise, high-energy treatment could transform care for thousands who want to avoid mastectomy or can't safely undergo surgery.
Northwestern Medicine researchers discovered how to help mice with ALS live longer and stay stronger by targeting a protein that was accidentally protecting toxic buildup in their cells. The breakthrough opens a new path for treating multiple brain diseases.
A 30-minute walk while paying attention to birdsong significantly boosts mental well-being and slashes stress hormones. You don't need to be a bird expert to feel the benefits.
A woman's dog detected her breast cancer by pressing his nose to a lump on her chest. Now she's part of a groundbreaking vaccine trial that could prevent aggressive breast cancer from returning.
A groundbreaking combination treatment for lupus nephritis just won approval in England, offering 12,000 people with kidney damage a real shot at restored health. The therapy works twice as well as current options at bringing kidney function back to normal.
A groundbreaking combination therapy has left nearly 9 in 10 hepatitis D patients with no detectable virus after two years of treatment. The results could transform care for a disease that often leads to liver failure within five years.
Researchers at Mount Sinai created a therapy that doesn't attack cancer cells directly. Instead, it flips the immune cells protecting tumors, transforming defenders into destroyers.
A breakthrough mental health treatment is helping three out of four people recover and return to work in Norway, saving the country millions while cutting sick leave in half. The therapy costs a third of what it saves, offering hope for the 327,000 Norwegians struggling with mental health-related absences.
After decades of limited success, cancer vaccines are finally delivering real results thanks to breakthrough genetic technologies that customize treatment to each patient's unique tumor. When combined with other therapies, these personalized vaccines are showing promise across multiple cancer types.
Dori Laub survived the Holocaust, then spent 40 years recording other survivors' stories and discovered something powerful: listening itself can heal. His pioneering work created the world's first video testimony archive and transformed how we help trauma survivors recover.
Scientists turned cancer's silent escape into an immune system alarm using tiny carriers that force tumors to die loudly. In mice, the treatment reprogrammed melanoma to train the body to fight back.
Scientists at Duke discovered an antibody that naturally helps some immune systems beat cancer—and turned it into an experimental drug. Early trials show promise in stopping lung tumors from growing.
A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine combined with immunotherapy reduced the risk of deadly skin cancer returning by nearly 50% over five years. The breakthrough treatment is now entering final-stage trials while researchers test similar vaccines for lung, bladder, and kidney cancers.
A harmful side effect of chemotherapy—gut damage—may actually help prevent cancer from spreading. Scientists discovered how this damage triggers a chain reaction that rewires the immune system to fight metastasis.
After an aggressive cervical cancer diagnosis during pregnancy, a former Google employee picked up her reporter's notebook and discovered writing wasn't just therapy. It became her path to survival and a mission to help others.
Northwest Pennsylvania just gained a new path to recovery. Cleveland Clinic's latest rehabilitation facility brings specialized sports therapy and orthopedic care closer to thousands who need it.
A Kentucky cancer center just became the first in America to test a promising new immunotherapy that helps the body fight aggressive lung cancer. The experimental drug showed no side effects in its first patient, offering fresh hope for people whose cancers stopped responding to other treatments.
A personalized mRNA vaccine from Moderna and Merck has shown remarkable five-year results against aggressive skin cancer. The therapy nearly halves the risk of melanoma returning after surgery.
Scientists are turning the tide on antibiotic resistance with rapid diagnostic tools, virus-based therapies, and gene-editing weapons that could save millions of lives. After decades of warnings, the medical community finally has real solutions.
