Two people with a rare disease have been in remission for more than 15 years after a transplant. The condition is neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a potentially fatal disease effecting the spinal cord, eyes and brain.

Two people were the first to receive the therapy for a condition that damages the spinal cord and optic nerve.

A team at Massachusetts General Hospital tracked the brain responsible for how sentences are built before spoken. By observing the in the frontotemporal cortex, cells act as specialized linguistic building blocks, caring if its a noun or ending of a phrase.

Neural maps reveal the specialized cells that produce speech.

In the largest trial, researchers identified a marker associated with more severe ulcerative colitis & Crohn's disease. A combination within the HLA-DRB1 , suggests genetic testing could identify IBD patients at risk of severe disease.

HLA-DRB1*01:03 emerges as a genetic determinant of severe disease in both patients with Crohn's disease and patients with ulcerative colitis. Although further validation is needed, assessing HLA-DRB1*01:03 carriage might help identify patients who could benefit from more intensive monitoring or earl...

A key puzzle piece as to how the Venus flytrap snaps shut so quickly has been discovered. Once an insect crawls into the flytrap's maw, on the outer surface of the hinged leaf soften, allowing the leaf to change shape and hinge shut.

Softening of the cells on the outermost surface of the trap lets the plant move at a breakneck pace.

Researchers at UC San Diego School of Medicine conducted a large study identifying key drivers of co***ne addiction. This potential new treatment targets the liver rather than the brain, suggesting addiction involves the whole body.

UC San Diego researchers have identified genetic drivers of co***ne addiction, uncovering a potential new treatment target in the liver. This large-scale study maps how metabolism influences addiction-like behavior to bridge the gap to human medicine.

A team of researchers at NIEHS, identified a link between the lung & Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). They found TLR5 receptors in airway cells are activated in response to lung injury, stopping the overgrowth of harmful bacterium.

The therapy activates a protein that could stop pulmonary fibrosis from progressing.

Researchers at UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that drug selpercatinib can reduce the risk of lung cancer returning in patients with a rare subtype of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. This could offer a new treatment option.

Selpercatinib, a highly selective, potent, and central nervous system–penetrant rearranged during transfection (RET) inhibitor, is approved for RET fusion–positive advanced or metastatic non–small-...
