New research published in the New England Journal of Medicine has indicated that stem cell gene therapy could provide a curative treatment for sickle cell disease (SCD).

A single dose of psilocybin may have enduring benefits for people with major depressive disorder, according to a randomized clinical trial published Thursday in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

WOODBURY, Minn. — By the time Taylor Teske came to be sitting on an exam table in an obstetrician’s office in Minnesota, her medical records marked a devastating journey: nine pregnancies, one baby, eight miscarriages. The first miscarriage happened in June 2018, almost as soon as she found out she was pregnant. Teske told her boss at the vascular clinic where she worked that she was pregnant, and he asked if she wanted to sneak a look using the clinic’s ultrasound.
The pharmaceutical industry has been up in arms over Medicare’s first list of 10 prescription drugs that will be subject to negotiations. But other major parts of the health care industry — hospitals, doctors, and other providers — have refrained from either lending support or criticizing the government’s process. The American Hospital Association, the industry’s main lobbying group, told STAT it is “not commenting on this issue right now.
Medicaid warned states Wednesday that they could be mistakenly removing children from government insurance programs in a post-pandemic review of millions of enrollees.

After an expansive investigation found manipulated data and other issues with papers co-authored by Stanford’s now ex-president Marc Tessier-Lavigne , the prominent neuroscientist on Thursday retracted two studies published in the journal Science in 2001 — over the objection of a former postdoctoral researcher who played a leading role in both projects.
Because Covid cases and hospitalizations are no longer front-page news, many Americans might be surprised to learn that we are in the midst of a mini-surge. The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, from Aug. 12, confirm a 21.6% increase in Covid-19 hospitalizations from the prior week and a 21.4% increase in Covid-related deaths, demonstrating that Covid is not over and that Latinos and Blacks have reason to be concerned.
At long last, naloxone is available over the counter. But now comes a moment of truth for the overdose-reversal medication: Will increased access help to save lives? And more immediately, can everyone who wants to buy naloxone at a pharmacy afford it?
Amid controversy over access to a lifesaving tuberculosis pill, a new contracting effort is expected to lower the price for the medicine by as much as 55% in dozens of low- and middle-income countries, according to a group that administers a global fund for distributing TB drugs.

The problem with the plan was fratricide, among other wanton cellular murders. Saar Gill and Carl June, cell therapy researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, wanted to make a single treatment that could tackle virtually all blood cancers. It was an audacious goal. Most cell therapies, such as CAR-T, involve removing a patients’ T cells, arming them with GPS coordinates for that tumor, and then reinfusing them into the battlefield.
Climate change is an existential problem for human health. As climate change intensifies, the frequency and severity of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, cold fronts, and floods will increase.

The first Alzheimer’s therapy to clearly slow cognitive decline, approved in the United States last month, lifted the hope of patients and their families.

Alzheimer’s disease has killed at least three women in Astrida Schaeffer’s family over two generations, leaving her feeling helpless and bereft. The first was her Polish-born maternal grandmother, who began showing symptoms when Schaeffer started college in 1981 and died seven years later. Then came her mother, a onetime Fulbright Scholar and high school language teacher who had been fluent in five languages but lost the ability to speak.

Advance directives were born in the Senate. Now they can help preserve the dignity of its aging members. In Cruzan v. Director, Missouri Department of Health , the parents of Nancy Cruzan, a young woman who had been left in a permanent vegetative state after a car accident, wanted the right to remove her life support. In 1990, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of her parents, affirming the constitutional right to refuse life-sustaining treatment.

In inpatient child psychology, we treat children in crisis deemed at imminent risk of harm to themselves or others. I am grateful for the opportunity to try and help — but it is daunting. A study published earlier this year found an overwhelming spike in mental illness-related crises in the past decade.

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — Where Laurel Braitman is sitting is rather apt. Braitman, whose first book, “Animal Madness,” won her fans and TED Talk acclaim, is unmistakable in a fringed, cream-colored jacket and thick, square glasses, perched on a tall chair near the back of Zibby’s Bookshop. It’s a small, airy paperback oasis along a bougie stretch of cafés and day spas.

On Target is a recurring feature from STAT that dives deep into the most promising drug targets in oncology. K RAS, one of the most common genetic mutations in cancer, has been one of the most tantalizing oncogenic targets for drug developers since its discovery four decades ago. An altered KRAS gene can drive cells to divide uncontrollably, propelling them down the path towards malignancy.
The federal government has started penalizing Medicare Advantage insurers that have one common, glaring problem: Faulty technology systems are leading to people paying more for care and coverage than they should be. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services fined three different Medicare Advantage plans this month, each one getting dinged differently for the way they overcharged their members.
Over the past year, weight loss drugs have captured the public’s imagination but also raised existential questions about the future of bariatric surgery.
