A new study has found that brief treatment with 100% oxygen can substantially improve motor learning in young, healthy adults. It may have opened the door to using this simple treatment with people who are re-learning motor skills they’ve lost.
-
The route to discovering remarkable medicines has often been a fortuitous one. Now, researchers are hoping that another surprise find, once again linked to bacteria, can be harnessed for its medical potential and even be used to destroy cancer cells.
-
Yale scientists have discovered a new potential treatment avenue to fight cancer. Using CRISPR gene-editing, the team eliminated extra chromosomes from cancer cells and found that they could no longer grow out of control.
-
In a world first, two illicit substances best known for their ‘recreational’ use have been given the tick of approval by Australian authorities to be prescribed for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and drug-resistant depression.
-
A large new Danish study has suggested there may be a link between women’s use of hormone replacement therapy used to treat the symptoms of menopause and the risk of developing dementia.
-
A novel microneedle patch may bring new hope to people who struggle to keep their acne under control. Instead of utilizing antibiotics, the device releases nanoparticles that kill acne-causing bacteria when triggered by exposure to ultrasound.
-
For the first time, through brain scans, assessments and therapies, researchers have identified a subtype of depression that features more pronounced cognitive dysregulation, with common treatment missing the mark on combatting debilitating symptoms.
-
A new study has found that combining radiotherapy with a cancer-targeting virus was more effective at combatting a hard-to-treat, deadly form of brain tumor than using either therapy alone. The finding may lead to more effective cancer treatments.
-
A chemo and immunotherapy combo has proven promising in treating patients with advanced Hodgkin Lymphoma, and removes the need for radiation therapy in kids. In a clinical trial, 94% of patients receiving the combo treatment entered remission.
-
Currently, if someone doesn't receive treatment within a few hours of suffering a stroke, their chances of recovery are greatly diminished. That may one day no longer be the case, however, thanks to newly developed nasal drops.
-
A gene called MYC is implicated in the majority of cancers, but unfortunately it’s often considered “undruggable.” In a new study scientists have developed a molecule that chops up the RNA of this gene, effectively clearing cancer in mice.
-
Heart failure can be caused by multiple factors, requiring different treatments. Researchers have trained machine learning models using a large dataset to identify five subtypes of heart failure, which may improve risk prediction and treatment.
