Off-label drug helps one boy with autism speak, parents say. But experts want more data.

Caroline Connor's concerns about her son's development began around his 1st birthday, when she noticed he wasn't talking or using any words. Their pediatrician didn't seem worried, but the speech delay persisted. At 2½, Mason was diagnosed with autism.

Researchers develop tool to predict how patients will respond to common multiple sclerosis drug

Brazilian researchers, in partnership with French institutions, have developed a tool that can predict how patients will respond to natalizumab, one of the most commonly used drugs for treating multiple sclerosis.

Mucins show promise in preventing Salmonella infections

Mucus is more than just a sticky substance: It contains a wealth of powerful molecules called mucins that help to tame microbes and prevent infection.

Study shows how early-life epigenetic 'memory' can influence adult brain inflammation

Why do some people remain healthy through childhood yet become more vulnerable to brain disorders such as dementia later in life? A KAIST (President Kwang Hyung Lee) -led team has uncovered a key part of the answer: a developmental 'switch' in astrocytes—the brain's most abundant support cells that shapes how strongly the brain's immune system reacts in adulthood.

Study explains how genetics and lifestyle combined to keep a 117-year-old healthy

Scientists conducted a multiomics study of the world’s oldest verified person (117 years), uncovering protective genetic, immune, metabolic, microbiome, and epigenetic traits that supported her exceptional longevity. These findings highlight how aging and disease may, under rare circumstances, be decoupled.

Babies living with dogs show better lung function and reduced asthma rates

Babies exposed to dog allergens in the home have a lower risk of developing asthma by the age of five years, according to research that will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congress in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Discovery of EP2 receptor opens path to pain relief without blocking inflammation

Scientists at the NYU Pain Research Center have identified which receptor in prostaglandins-the hormone-like substance targeted by common painkillers-causes pain but not inflammation.

Study uncovers how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune memory

A study published today in Nature Communications describes how lymphatic endothelial cells assist in generating robust immune memory, offering new insights into how the immune system functions.

AstroCapsules offer a new way to reduce brain inflammation

Neuroinflammation is linked to a host of detrimental brain disorders, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

New study suggests a connection between soft drinks and depression via the microbiome

A new study involving the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) provides strong evidence that sugary drinks affect not only metabolic but also mental health – especially in women. This effect is probably mediated by the sensitive microbiome of the intestine.

Genetic modification enhances "living drugs" for blood cancers

CAR T cells are patient-derived, genetically engineered immune cells. They are "living drugs" and constitute a milestone in modern medicine. Equipping T cells, a key cell type of the immune system, with a "chimeric antigen receptor" (CAR) enables them to specifically recognize and attack cancer cells.

New study reveals silent onset of rheumatoid arthritis

Scientists have discovered that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) doesn't start when the pain begins. It silently starts years earlier.

Loss of Trp53 gene affects immune responses in ovarian cancer

A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on September 22, 2025, titled "Loss of Trp53 results in a hypoactive T cell phenotype accompanied by reduced pro-inflammatory signaling in a syngeneic orthotopic mouse model of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma."

UCLA study links morning sickness to immune system changes in early pregnancy

UCLA researchers have uncovered a link between "morning sickness" symptoms and the body's natural, but complex, inflammatory response to biological and bodily changes during pregnancy.

Blocking iron-regulating enzyme triggers cancer cell death in multiple myeloma

Researchers at Duke University have shown that blocking an enzyme involved in iron regulation not only kills multiple myeloma cancer cells, but also increases the effectiveness of current therapies against the disease.

Menopause found to shape initial symptoms and comorbidities in multiple sclerosis

New research presented today at the 41st Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS 2025) reveals that menopause may significantly influence how multiple sclerosis (MS) first presents in women, as well as the types of associated health conditions they experience.

Reversing age-related vision loss with retinal lipid therapy

Changes in vision are often a common sign of aging. If you sit in a dimly lit restaurant with anyone over the age of 60, you'll likely hear the person say, "Hold on - let me pull out my cell phone. I need more light to read the menu!" But what if we could reverse age-related visual decline?
