Leipzig, Germany – Every year, around 4,000 people in Germany are diagnosed with myelodysplastic neoplasms (MDS). The disease can lead to anaemia, infections and an increased risk of bleeding. People with higher-risk MDS have a significantly lower life expectancy than the average person of the same age. In the higher-risk...

MILAN, Italy – Beta-thalassemia (Bthal) is a genetic disorder due to mutations in the ß-globin gene, leading to a reduced or absent production of HbA, which interferes with erythroid cell maturation and limits red cell production. Patients are affected by severe anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, and skeletal abnormalities due to rapid expansion...
Using data generated from patients and mice with genetic mutation for the disorder Usher syndrome, researchers from the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM), the National Institutes of Health’s National Eye Institute (NEI), and National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), documented the natural history of vision...
Houston, TX – Texas Children’s Hospital, an internationally-recognized, top-ranked children’s hospital and pediatric research center affiliated with Baylor College of Medicine, is the first to deliver a novel gene therapy to treat Rett syndrome in pediatric patients. Two female patients with Rett syndrome were the first children worldwide to receive...
MIAMI, FL – Ludwig Enterprises, Inc. (the “Company”), a biotech innovator in mRNA diagnostics and AI-driven health solutions, announced today the initial introduction of its lead product, Revealia Breast™, a non-invasive breast cancer screening test currently in advanced development. This innovative diagnostic tool uses a simple cheek swab to detect cancer-related...
San Diego, California – In recent years, microbiome research has started to shift its focus from the microbes themselves to the molecules they produce. After all, it’s these molecules that directly interact with human cells to influence a person’s health. But trying to identify which molecules are being made by...
Beijing, China – Patients with lupus nephritis (LN), a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), often undergo progressive kidney damage, with approximately 20% of these patients advancing to end-stage renal disease. The current therapeutic landscape for LN, dominated by glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, is limited by suboptimal response rates, the...
Ulsan, South Korea – A research team, affiliated with Ulsan National Institute of Science & Technology (UNIST), has unveiled a novel method to produce a selective anticancer precursor substance that targets and eliminates cancer cells. This groundbreaking method, previously existing only in theory, has now been experimentally proven for the...
Seoul, South Korea – Bladder cancer has a cure rate of over 90% when detected early, but it has a high recurrence rate of 70%, necessitating continuous monitoring. Late detection often requires major surgeries such as bladder removal followed by artificial bladder implantation or the use of a urine pouch,...
Tokyo, Japan – In today’s medical landscape, precision medicine and targeted therapies are gaining traction for their ability to tailor treatments to individual patients while minimizing adverse effects. Conventional methods, such as gene transfer techniques, show promise in delivering therapeutic genes directly to cells to address various diseases. However, these...
