For patients with Parkinson’s disease, changes in their ability to walk can be dramatic. “Parkinson’s gait,” as it is often called, can include changes in step length and asymmetry between legs. This gait dysfunction reduces a person’s mobility, increases fall risk, and significantly impacts a patient’s quality of life.
An antibody treatment developed at Stanford Medicine successfully prepared patients for stem cell transplants without toxic busulfan chemotherapy or radiation, a Phase I clinical trial has shown.
The Global Neurodegeneration Proteomics Consortium (GNPC) has published a series of research papers detailing their efforts to identify patterns in neurodegenerative disease.
In a study conducted in Uganda and published in JAMA Surgery, researchers from Karolinska Institutet evaluated a new surgical method for treating groin hernias in women. The method could become an alternative in resource-limited settings where laparoscopic techniques are not generally available.
AUSTIN, Texas, July 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Electrophysiologists at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (TCAI) at St. David’s Medical Center recently became the first in the nation to implant an FDA-approved novel leadless system that provides cardiac resynchronization therapy to patients with heart failure. Cardiac resynchronization therapy improves the timing of the heart’s contractions, helping to restore the normal rhythm of the heartbeat. The first procedure was recently performed by Robert Canby, M.D., cardiac electrophysiologist at TCAI.

Accurate removal of tumors is the most critical aspect of cancer surgery, yet it remains a significant challenge in clinical practice. In breast cancer, for example, the positive margin rate—where cancer cells remain at the surgical boundary—can reach up to 35%, often requiring reoperation and increasing the risk of recurrence.
A 3D paper-based analytical device (3D-osPAD) with in situ gold signal amplification enables one-step, highly sensitive detection of anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies within 10 minutes, showing 10-fold improved sensitivity and high clinical accuracy for adult-onset immunodeficiency.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited condition that can lead to kidney failure. Being able to accurately predict how the disease will progress is very important for selecting the right treatments and providing effective patient counseling.
In a new study published in Cancer Immunology Research, scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel method to generate billions of rare immune cells known as conventional type I dendritic cells (cDC1s), potentially paving the way for a new class of off-the-shelf cellular cancer vaccines.
