Pelacarsen didn’t protect heart health despite lowering levels of a protein particle, “Lp(a),” in a large clinical trial — a result with important implications for cardiovascular drug research. Dive Brief: An RNA drug from Novartis and Ionis Pharmaceuticals failed to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and death in a clinical trial, an outcome [...]
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have created an injectable biomaterial that may help the brain recover from damage left behind by an ischemic stroke. In experiments with mice, the material transformed the cavity created by lost brain tissue into a more favorable environment for healing. The treatment recruited the body's own immune cells, encouraged [...]
Researchers discovered lymph node-like immune hubs inside skull bone marrow that appear to act as rapid-response centers for the brain. For decades, the brain was thought to operate largely apart from the immune system. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have now identified lymph node-like structures inside the skull bone marrow of [...]
Researchers have developed a potential new approach for treating a form of cystic fibrosis caused by so-called nonsense mutations, combining chemically modified transfer RNAs with lipid nanoparticles designed to deliver the therapy directly to the lungs. The study, led by Jingan Chen and colleagues, found that the treatment restored production of functional cystic fibrosis [...]
A groundbreaking treatment for one of the most common forms of pancreatic cancer has been approved in pill form by the FDA. Revolution Medicines’ oral tablet daraxonrasib, branded as Rasonque, reduced the risk of death by 60% in phase 3 trials. Patients who received the medication in trials lived 13.2 months, compared with those [...]
A cancer-linked protein called BRAF may help drive chronic nerve pain, and existing cancer drugs targeting it reduced pain sensitivity in preclinical models. Chronic nerve pain can persist long after an injury and often responds poorly to standard pain medications. Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center now report evidence that [...]

Introduction Healthcare is approaching a frontier where the quantum portfolio could influence not only how disease is diagnosed and treated, but how health itself is measured, modeled, predicted and preserved. Quantum computing, quantum simulation, quantum sensing, quantum communications and post-quantum cryptography could become increasingly important components of the computational and security infrastructure supporting wellness, [...]
The FDA has cleared a system that uses brain activity data to personalize magnetic stimulation for PTSD, adding a new nonmedication treatment option. Every day in the United States, approximately 17.5 veterans die by suicide, while 7% of veterans are diagnosed each year with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Against this backdrop, researchers at Texas A&M Health are helping [...]
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved on Wednesday a drug that could extend the survival of those with metastatic pancreatic cancer. The drug, called daraxonrasib, will be sold under the brand name Rasonque from Revolution Medicines. The daily pill targets multiple forms of a protein called RAS, which is a main driver of [...]
