President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced the creation of a new federal advisory commission to “make America healthy again.” The first meeting will be held on May 18th (PDF). The name is evocative. Ambition is necessary. Because the truth is this: America’s health care is underserved in a way that ignores both our spending and our scientific capacity. We spend more money than any other country in the world, yet we live shorter lives and get more sick. If this commission really matters, it should instead face uncomfortable truths and force a reorientation of…
Recent research published in Journal of Sex Research Our findings suggest that adults with autism experience certain types of sexual victimization at higher rates compared to undiagnosed adults. This finding indicates that these vulnerabilities may be related to specific sensory sensitivities rather than simply the official diagnostic label itself. This provides evidence that customized educational programs focused on consent and sensory control may help protect people with varying levels of autistic traits. Scientists Brianna M. Akers and Zoe D. Peterson conducted this study to better understand how often adults with autism experience various forms of sexual harm. Akers is a…
Michigan’s attorney general and several environmental justice groups argued Friday before a panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that the emergency order that blocked the closure of the J.H. Campbell coal-fired power plant is an illegal application of federal law. A team of lawyers from Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s office, Earth Justice, and the Sierra Club each argued that the energy emergency declared by the U.S. Department of Energy in May 2025 forced the Michigan plant in West Olive to continue operating beyond its scheduled decommissioning. The order has been updated four times…
With help from DNA testing company Natera and its personalized molecular residual disease (MRD) blood test Signatera, Roche’s PD-L1 inhibitor Tecentriq has secured its 11th indication in the US with a new bladder cancer approval. As confirmed by Signatera, Tecentriq and subcutaneous Tecentriq Hybreza are now available as adjunctive treatments for adult patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) who have circulating tumor DNA molecule residual disease (ctDNA MRD) after cystectomy. “By combining our cancer immunotherapy Tecentriq with state-of-the-art MRD testing, we will be able to more accurately identify patients who are candidates for intervention and those who can safely avoid…
Recent research published in journals nutritional psychiatry Studies suggest that eating more of certain dietary nutrients, such as dietary fiber and folic acid, may reduce the likelihood of experiencing symptoms of depression. The findings provide evidence that daily food choices may play a fundamental role in supporting mental health and managing mood. This study furthers scientific interest in how the foods we eat can help reduce the risk of mental health conditions. Depression is a highly prevalent mental health condition, affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. The economic and personal impact of depression is significant, leading to decreased productivity…
Scientists have found new evidence that serotonin, a brain chemical best known for helping regulate mood, can worsen tinnitus, a persistent ringing or buzzing sound that affects millions of people around the world. The study was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Tinnitus can range from mild irritation to severe distress. For some people, constant noise can cause anxiety and interfere with daily life. Researchers estimate that as many as 14% of people worldwide experience the condition, and many cases are severe. A team from Oregon Health & Science University and China’s Anhui University studied mice…
While outgoing Commissioner Marty McCulley’s resignation is still pending, another top regulator may be on his way out of the agency. Tracy Beth Hogue, MD, who was appointed acting director of the agency’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) following the retirement of veteran oncologist Richard Pazdol, MD, in December, is expected to follow in McCurry’s footsteps, Reuters reported on Friday, citing three sources familiar with the regulator’s internal plans. Fierce Pharma has contacted the Department of Health and Human Services and Mr. Høeg directly for comment on this report. “HHS and FDA do not comment on personnel matters,”…
For men with advanced prostate cancer who have failed standard hormone therapy, treatment options are limited and time is of the essence. As the disease progresses, the window for effective and less burdensome treatments begins to close. A multicenter clinical trial led by researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) and Emory University tested whether an experimental drug can extend the effectiveness of existing treatments. This study cancer medicineexplored new strategies to overcome treatment resistance in advanced prostate cancer. This is a very difficult population to treat. There is a clear need for new options in these…
Biologics are increasingly replacing small molecules in the biopharmaceutical industry pipeline, and the increasing complexity of manufactured products is putting pressure on production and launches. In a new Accenture report (PDF), the professional services firm finds that as manufacturing becomes an increasingly important element in the rollout of new medicines, companies need to more tightly link their process strategies from the lab to the production line. Additionally, emerging technologies such as robotic process design and AI-enhanced analytics have the potential to reduce costs for companies, accelerate ramp-up, and create more reliable and adaptable production networks overall, Accenture found. According to…
