Even brief interruption tied to change in risk of heart attack, stroke and death WashU Medicine researchers found that stopping GLP-1 drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide — even temporarily — elevates the risk of heart attack, stroke and death compared to staying on the medication continuously. Following a rapid increase in popularity of GLP-1
A new study led by Stanford Medicine found the brain is two separate organs adjacent to one another. The finding could aid research into devastating neurological diseases. For centuries, scientists have thought of the brain as a single, unified organ. But new research led by Stanford Medicine reveals that what we call the brain is
Innovative gene therapy offers a new option for children with a rare, progressive neurodevelopmental disease The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Fayuvi (rebisufligene etisparvovec-hopf), the first treatment for pediatric patients with mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA (MPS IIIA), also known as Sanfilippo syndrome type A., MPS IIIA is a rare inherited disease that progressively damages the
New guidelines aim to address gaps that leave millions without timely answers or care Iron deficiency is one of the most common health conditions in the world, but many people live with symptoms for months or years before receiving a diagnosis. To address this critical unmet need, the American Society of Hematology (ASH) issued new clinical
A study by DZNE finds that healthy eating is associated with slower biological aging—and that there is more than one way to eat healthily. The researchers examined ten dietary patterns considered healthy, including the Mediterranean, Nordic, and a plant-based diet, as well as the DASH diet, which is designed to help lower blood pressure. All
A single-cell study in Science reveals major shifts in immune cells, genome organization and gene regulation in the aging human hippocampus. These findings offer critical insights into brain aging with major implications for age-related dementias. Researchers have discovered that the human brain undergoes widespread age-related changes in genome regulation beginning in midlife that may help explain why
PANXEON, which combines multiple biomarkers, also identified a precancerous condition of the pancreas, potentially opening a path to intervention before invasive cancer develops One reason pancreatic cancer remains so deadly is because it’s usually discovered late, after it has spread. Now, a major new study shows that a blood test developed by researchers led by
You probably don’t think twice about putting on your socks – until your back makes it the hardest part of getting dressed. When ordinary movements become painful, even a little relief can matter. A new clinical trial suggests some of that relief could come from a surprisingly old-fashioned source: a soft belt wrapped around the lower back.
New recommendations based on extensive public engagement set out how the NHS could give patients faster access to AI advances with proportionate safeguards to protect patient safety and maintain high levels of trust. The National Commission into the Regulation of AI in Healthcare has today, 10 September 2026, published its recommendations on how the UK
New research paves way for novel therapies to reverse heart failure. Pioneering research by experts at the University of Sydney, the Baird Institute and the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in Sydney has shown that heart muscle cells regrow after a heart attack, opening up the possibility of new regenerative treatments for cardiovascular disease. Following the
