A phase 2 trial linked vitamin C supplements to better survival in people with certain blood disorders, a finding that requires further study in a larger phase 3 trial. Vitamin C supplements were linked to better survival in a clinical trial involving people with precancerous blood conditions or low-risk blood cancers. The finding offers a […]
Vitamin C Supplements Tied to Fewer Deaths in Blood Disorder Trial
A phase 2 trial linked vitamin C supplements to better survival in people with certain blood disorders, a finding that requires further study in a larger phase 3 trial. Vitamin C supplements were linked to better survival in a clinical trial involving people with precancerous blood conditions or low-risk blood cancers. The finding offers a […]
A New RNA Strategy Could Target Thousands of Genetic Disorders
This new approach targets disorders including cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, and some cancers. In lab-grown tissue from a cystic fibrosis patient who did not respond to existing drugs, researchers restored production of a full-length protein and gave Trikafta something it could act on. The patient’s cells responded when the drug was combined with engineered transfer […]
Your Blood Sugar May Reveal Hidden Clues About Heart Health – Even Without Diabetes
Continuous glucose monitoring may offer clues to heart and metabolic health in people without diabetes, though its role in risk assessment remains uncertain. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which tracks blood sugar as it changes over time, may offer clues to heart and metabolic health in people without diabetes. In a study of approximately 1,300 adults, […]
Scientists Hunt for Tiny Black Holes Hidden in LHC Collisions
Scientists have expanded the search for microscopic black holes at the Large Hadron Collider, looking for fleeting objects that could reveal hidden dimensions and clues to quantum gravity. Quantum black holes could give physicists a rare chance to study intense gravity on the scale of tiny particles. These hypothetical microscopic objects would bring together two […]

The Solar System’s First Worlds Were Built From Fire, Not Ice
A study led by Yale provides the first chemical evidence that gas began sorting the building materials for the solar system’s earliest solid bodies sooner than previously known. If the outer solar system’s first solid bodies had come with a recipe, it would have called for a generous helping of chondrules, millimeter-sized beads of rock […]
More Men Are Getting MRI Before Prostate Biopsy, but a Major Gap Remains
MRI use before a first prostate biopsy has risen sharply, yet about one-third of men still undergo the procedure without a scan. For a man facing a prostate biopsy, an MRI scan can give doctors a clearer idea of where to look for cancer before they collect tissue samples. That approach has become much more […]
