Andrew Hutchinson+FollowSt. Jude Doc Makes Time100 for Saving LivesDid you see this? Dr. Richard Finkel from St. Jude just landed on the Time100 Health list for 2025! He led the world’s first prenatal treatment for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), giving hope to families everywhere. The baby he treated before birth is now almost 3 and totally symptom-free. This is next-level medical history and a huge win for kids with rare diseases. Talk about changing the game! #Time100 #StJude #MedicalBreakthrough #PediatricNeurology #SMAAwareness00Share
itaylor+FollowCould This Blood Test Predict Preemies?Scientists just found that certain tiny RNAs (tsRNAs) floating in a pregnant woman’s blood could be early warning signs for preterm labor. Two of these tsRNAs were way higher in women who went into labor too soon, and one (tsRNA1) even messes with placenta cells, making things riskier for mom and baby. If this pans out, we might have a simple blood test to spot preterm birth risk way earlier than ever before! #PregnancyScience #PretermBirth #Biomarkers #WomensHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #Health00Share
kingabigail+FollowNew Drug Drops BP Fast—Game Changer?A new blood pressure drug just dropped some jaws—people with stubborn hypertension saw their systolic numbers fall by 15 points in weeks! This new med, lorundrostat, targets a sneaky hormone called aldosterone, and it’s working where other meds fail. The trial even included a super diverse group, so this could help a ton of people. Next up: a bigger trial, but this is seriously promising for anyone struggling with high BP! #HealthNews #BloodPressure #MedicalBreakthrough #Hypertension #Science #Health858Share
Michelle Welch+FollowAlzheimer’s Secret Culprit Unmasked!Mind blown! Scientists just found out the PHGDH gene isn’t just a marker for Alzheimer’s—it’s actually causing it. And get this: they used AI to uncover a hidden function of the gene that messes with brain cells. Even cooler, they found a molecule (NCT-503) that might stop the gene’s bad behavior before things get worse. This could totally change how we treat Alzheimer’s! #Alzheimers #ScienceNews #MedicalBreakthrough #AI #BrainHealth #Health360116Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowBlood Test Could Spot Cancer Early!Imagine catching cancer way before it gets serious—all from a simple blood test. New research says these multi-cancer blood tests could catch up to half of cancers earlier, which means way better odds for survival. Annual tests could cut late-stage cancer diagnoses by almost half and save more lives, especially for aggressive cancers. It’s not perfect yet, but this could totally change how we fight cancer! #HealthNews #CancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #MedicalBreakthrough #Health444Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowExercise Supercharges Stem Cell Therapy!Get this: scientists found that Parkinson’s rats who got stem cell transplants AND exercised had way better movement than those who just got the transplant. Turns out, a little running wheel action helped the new brain cells mature and connect better, probably thanks to some brain-boosting proteins. This could mean that in the future, pairing exercise with stem cell therapy might be a game-changer for Parkinson’s patients. Who knew a workout could make such a difference? #Parkinsons #StemCells #Neuroscience #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #Health70Share
Christian Boone+FollowAre Psychedelics About to Go Mainstream?Psychedelics like MDMA and psilocybin are still stuck in the strictest drug category (Schedule I), but new research is showing they might actually help with tough conditions like PTSD and depression. If the science keeps looking good, these substances could get reclassified, making them available for medical use. Imagine your doctor prescribing what used to be the ultimate party drugs! Wild, right? #Psychedelics #MentalHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #ScienceNews #TherapyTrends #Health161Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowCould a Simple Blood Test Catch Cancer Early?Imagine just rolling up for a quick blood test every year and slashing your risk of advanced cancer by half. That’s what new research is hinting at! Scientists say annual universal cancer screening could catch way more cancers early—meaning fewer late-stage diagnoses and deaths. The NHS is already trialling these tests, and we might see them rolled out nationwide in less than a decade. Early detection = more lives saved. This could be a total game-changer for cancer care! #CancerScreening #EarlyDetection #HealthNews #MedicalBreakthrough #NHS #Health143Share
Michelle Welch+FollowALL Survival Rates Just Got a BoostBig news for anyone following leukemia treatments: patients with relapsed or refractory ALL who got blinatumomab (BLI) and inotuzumab ozogamicin (INO) before stem cell transplants had way better survival rates than those who got standard chemo. The BLI/INO group saw more than double the 2-year survival compared to chemo! Remission rates were also much higher. There’s a catch—more risk of liver complications—so docs need to keep an eye out. Still, this could be a real game-changer for ALL patients! #LeukemiaResearch #ALL #CancerTreatment #MedicalBreakthrough #StemCellTransplant #Health320Share
Ryan Lewis+FollowIs This Cheap Pill a Cancer Game-Changer?Metformin, the diabetes med your grandma might already take, is being studied as a possible secret weapon against colon cancer. Early research shows it could help fight tough-to-treat cancer cells, especially the kind linked to a tricky KRAS gene. It’s not a cure on its own, but as a supplement to other treatments? Super promising. Plus, it’s dirt cheap—just 20 cents a pill! Scientists are hyped, but more tests are needed before it hits the mainstream. Imagine if this old-school drug gets a new life! #HealthNews #CancerResearch #Metformin #MedicalBreakthrough #ColonCancer #Health505Share
