Doctors Thought These Children Had No Hope. An Experimental Therapy Changed Everything
For families facing a diagnosis of an aggressive childhood brain tumor, hope has often been in short supply. Diseases such as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) have long been considered among the deadliest pediatric cancers, with survival often measured in months despite surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Even after enduring multiple rounds of treatment, many young…
A Cancer Researcher Received a Terminal Diagnosis and Tried Something No One Had Done Before
A seizure during a medical conference changed Professor Richard Scolyer’s life in an instant. The renowned cancer researcher soon learned that he had glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive and difficult-to-treat brain cancers, and was initially told he might have only months to live. Faced with a disease that had resisted decades of medical progress,…
Scientists Discover Common Genetic Link Behind Eight Major Psychiatric Disorders
Psychiatric disorders have traditionally been viewed as separate conditions, each with its own symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment plan.

This New Nasal Spray Could Transform Emergency Stroke Care
A stroke can destroy brain tissue in minutes. For decades, doctors have raced against an unforgiving clock, trying to restore blood flow before permanent damage sets in.
