Benjamin Jackson+FollowWould You Try At-Home HPV Tests?Cervical cancer is way more common in women with HIV, but a new Danish study found that half of eligible women were down to try an at-home HPV self-sampling kit. The best part? 80% actually sent their samples back! But here’s the catch: even when the test came back positive, less than half followed up for more care. Self-sampling could be a game-changer, but getting people to stick with the process is still a big hurdle. #WomensHealth #HPV #HIV #CervicalCancer #HealthInnovation #Health80Share
Chris Lyons+FollowUniversal Vaccine Game-Changer?Did you hear? The NIH just dropped a new universal vaccine platform called Generation Gold Standard. It’s not just another flu shot—this one’s designed to tackle a bunch of pandemic-prone viruses (think bird flu, COVID, even MERS) with one vaccine. Plus, it’s government-owned, so there’s zero pharma drama. The coolest part? There’s an intranasal version in trials that could actually block virus transmission. If all goes well, we might see these in clinics by 2029. Science is seriously leveling up! #VaccineNews #PandemicPrep #NIH #ScienceUpdate #HealthInnovation #Health2231Share
rmartinFollowingUniversal Vaccine in the Works?!Did you hear? The NIH and HHS are working on a universal vaccine that could tackle both COVID-19 and the flu—no more yearly updates! They’re calling it the 'Generation Gold Standard,' and it’s supposed to protect us from current and future strains. Clinical trials start in 2026, with hopes for a 2029 rollout. Imagine getting one shot and being set for years! Moderna’s also in the race, but the FDA wants more testing. Would you get this all-in-one vaccine? #VaccineNews #HealthInnovation #COVID19 #FluShot #Science #Health1698Share
Michael Flores+FollowNew Molecule Could Change Rare Disease GameScientists just found a single molecule that might actually reverse the effects of rare, devastating genetic diseases caused by POLG mutations. This is huge—these conditions are tough to treat and can show up at any age. The new compound, PZL-A, basically helps the cell’s powerhouses (mitochondria) fix themselves, even when their DNA is messed up. Early lab results are super promising, and clinical trials are already underway. Could this be the breakthrough so many have been waiting for? #ScienceNews #MedicalBreakthrough #Genetics #RareDisease #HealthInnovation #Science90Share
Barry Miller+FollowNaltrexone: The New Ozempic for Booze?Why is no one talking about naltrexone for drinking? It’s been around forever, but barely anyone uses it—mostly because of stigma and doctors not bringing it up. Now, telehealth startups are making it as easy to get as Ozempic or Viagra, with ads everywhere and no judgment. The twist? GLP-1 meds like Ozempic might also help people drink less. Could this be the moment naltrexone finally gets its glow-up? #Naltrexone #Ozempic #AlcoholAwareness #Telehealth #StigmaFree #HealthInnovation #Health1912Share
nathan87+Follow$500M Bet on a Universal Vaccine?!The government just dropped $500 million on a 'universal' vaccine that could protect against tons of pandemic viruses at once—think flu, COVID, and more. This new project, 'Generation Gold Standard,' is ditching the Biden-era COVID vax accelerator (which they called 'wasteful') and going old-school with a vaccine tech from the 1940s. Some scientists are skeptical, but HHS says this could be the future of vaccines. Will it work, or is it just another wild goose chase? #VaccineNews #PandemicPrep #HealthInnovation #ScienceUpdate #Health1723Share
reyesbrian+FollowNo More Chilled Vaccines?!Imagine vaccines that don’t need a fridge! A UK company just kicked off the first-ever trial of a room-temperature vaccine. This could be a total game-changer for places where keeping things cold is tough. They’re starting with tetanus and diphtheria, but if it works, up to 60 other vaccines could follow. The best part? It could slash vaccine waste in half since so many doses get tossed because of cold-chain issues. Fingers crossed this works! #HealthInnovation #Vaccines #ScienceNews #GlobalHealth #Health10Share
Christian Boone+FollowVaccines That Don’t Need a Fridge?!Imagine vaccines that don’t need to be kept cold—no more worrying about them spoiling in transit! A UK company just started human trials for the world’s first fridge-free vaccine, and it could totally change global health. This shot stays stable from -20°C to 40°C for 18 months, making it way easier to get vaccines to remote places. If all goes well, we could see these game-changers rolling out worldwide by 2027! #HealthInnovation #Vaccines #GlobalHealth #ScienceNews #Health80Share
