Researchers discovered a simple fatty acid injection that restores vision in older mice by targeting an aging gene. The breakthrough could help millions facing age-related vision loss and macular degeneration.
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.
Researchers at University of Rochester Medicine received NIH funding to develop a breakthrough treatment that could stop macular degeneration before it steals vision from millions of older adults. The new therapy targets a protein that drives the disease at its earliest stages.
Researchers at UC Irvine have restored failing vision in older mice using a targeted fatty acid therapy, offering new hope for treating age-related blindness. The breakthrough could one day help millions of older adults regain sight lost to macular degeneration.
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.
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.
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 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.
Researchers discovered molecules that protect the eye cells responsible for reading, recognizing faces, and seeing color. The breakthrough could lead to the first treatments for age-related macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness.
After federal research funding collapsed and thousands of scientists lost their jobs, a new model of community-driven science is taking root across America. From state-funded research bonds to mobile MRI scanners in rural towns, researchers are discovering that science doesn't need ivory towers to thrive.
Researchers created a pocket-sized AI model that works like a living brain, using just 10,000 variables instead of 60 million. The breakthrough could lead to smarter, more efficient technology while helping scientists unlock mysteries of human vision.
Librarians are breaking free from the "service provider" stereotype to become valued research partners and co-authors on scientific studies. One librarian's expertise in consumer health and digital literacy earned them spots on multiple research teams.
Scientists have created a wireless retinal implant thinner than a human hair that could one day restore sight to millions living with vision loss. The breakthrough device uses safe near-infrared light instead of risky visible light, eliminating the need for bulky electronics.
Scientists at Stanford, MIT, and Cambridge are using Google DeepMind's Co-Scientist AI to accelerate breakthroughs in liver disease, aging, and infectious diseases. The system helps researchers digest decades of studies in days, spotting connections humans might miss.
A coalition of major scientific organizations just unveiled a new "Trust Seal" to help readers spot reliable research in an age of AI-driven information. The community-led initiative aims to rebuild confidence in science by recognizing publications that follow the highest standards.
A man blind for three years unexpectedly recovered partial natural vision during a clinical trial for an artificial vision device in Spain. The spontaneous improvement persisted even after doctors removed the brain implant.
A high school junior just became a published medical researcher, analyzing surgical techniques that could help liver cancer patients live longer. His work passed the same peer review process as professional scientists.
