New, previously unpublished clinical data was presented today at ISSCR 2026 demonstrating that transplanted human neural progenitor cells survived for at least one year following subretinal transplantation in patients with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), while maintaining a favorable safety profile.

Ongoing research reveals that multifloral honey is a promising candidate for protecting human skin cells from premature ageing and cell damage caused by UV radiation, with the potential for developing future clinical and cosmetic applications.

Today at ISSCR 2026, new preliminary clinical data was presented evaluating an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived CAR T-cell therapy for patients with treatment-resistant systemic sclerosis, a rare autoimmune disease with high mortality.

A soft, wireless NIRS forehead patch tracked water-sensitive brain signals during 16 overnight home sleep recordings in four healthy men. The signals changed with EEG/EOG-defined sleep stages, suggesting a new way to study sleep-linked brain-fluid dynamics, although the device did not directly measure CSF flow or glymphatic clearance.

Due to the lack of specific Western medicine therapies for post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) syndrome in clinical practice, this study aimed to investigate the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for post-COVID-19 syndrome using a cohort study design and to explore its clinical value in alleviating patients' symptoms and improving clinical outcomes.

A network meta-analysis of nine randomized controlled trials found that once-weekly semaglutide showed the largest estimated weight-loss effect among GLP-1 receptor agonists tested in adults with mental illness and obesity or related metabolic risk. The authors cautioned that the findings remain preliminary because the evidence base was small, heterogeneous, and largely indirect.

When schools closed in the spring of 2020 at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of children and adolescents receiving mental health treatment in the United States fell by more than half.

New research, led by scientists from the Seaver Autism Center for Research and Treatment at Mount Sinai and published June 28 in Autism Research, has estimated that Phelan-McDermid syndrome (PMS) affects approximately 1 in 7,300 people, making it dramatically more common than previous estimates suggested.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may still be under-recognised and under-diagnosed in England despite recent increases in diagnosis, according to a study led by researchers at UCL, University of Liverpool and King's College London.

Acupuncture to the ear may help to lessen pain from migraines and their impact on daily life, according to new research presented today (Friday) at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026.

Scientists have discovered how damage to the myelin sheath – the insulating layer around nerve fibres – affects brain activity during sleep.

An innovative new study from the Neuroscape research center at UCSF, and consumer electronics giant Samsung seeks to understand decade-by-decade changes in brain health.

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center identified a six-gene signature in microscopic colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastases that may help predict recurrence after treatment.

Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a key protein that allows the virus that causes genital herpes to get into the nervous system.

Anxiety disorders affect more than 300 million people globally. Several brain regions have been linked to anxiety, but how these regions connect has been poorly understood.

Healthy plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, beans, and legumes are the foundation of a healthy diet for anyone, no matter how old they are.

Tooth enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, yet once damaged, it cannot regenerate naturally.

Chikungunya fever, caused by Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), has re‑emerged as a major global health threat. The 2025 outbreak in Guangdong, China – the largest local epidemic ever recorded – marks a critical epidemiological turning point.

Cupping therapy is a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technique used to treat chronic pain, expedite muscle recovery, and other conditions.

Alcohol use has been associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline and dementia. But new research from the Texas A&M University Naresh K. Vashisht College of Medicine at Texas A&M Health suggests the relationship between alcohol and Alzheimer's disease is more complicated than previously thought.
