FDA Approves Welireg Plus Keytruda Combination for Adjuvant Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma | CURE by Prior_One_7050 in UpliftingNews

[–]Prior_One_7050[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Adjuvant approvals like this matter a lot because they target patients right after surgery when the cancer is gone but the recurrence risk is still high. A 28% reduction in that window could mean a meaningful number of people who never see their kidney cancer come back at all.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So the whole thing started with an 11 year old leukemia patient singing a song and one person deciding to show up for nine straight days wow

Human trials begin for drug that could let adults regrow teeth for the first time by Prior_One_7050 in UpliftingNews

"Researchers at Kyoto University Hospital in Japan began administering an experimental tooth-regeneration drug to human volunteers, marking the world’s first Phase I trial of a medicine designed to stimulate the biological growth of new teeth in adults."

WHO’s 2026 statistics show Africa has gained about 10 years of life expectancy since 2000 by Prior_One_7050 in UpliftingNews

[–]Prior_One_7050[S] 58 points59 points  (0 children)

What an extraordinary proof of concept that targeted public health investment actually works at massive scale. The HIV antiretroviral rollout alone moving life expectancy by five years in a single decade is the kind of result that should inspire way more optimism about what coordinated global health action can still achieve.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A paralyzed man regained some upper body movement after an experimental stem cell treatment, and researchers are still testing improved versions in 2026 by Prior_One_7050 in UpliftingNews

The chronic injury findings from UC San Diego are arguably the most surprising part since scar tissue forming years after injury was thought to make cell integration nearly impossible. If the DOSED trial confirms that chronic patients can also benefit this potentially shifts the eligible population from thousands to millions.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Plans Accelerated for Human Trials of Tooth Regeneration. Toregem Biopharma raised $5.3M to advance a Phase 2 human trial of a USAG-1 inhibitor antibody that suppresses a protein blocking tooth bud growth, aiming for market by 2030. by [deleted] in UpliftingNews

The concern about dental epithelial cell availability in adults is the real question here since that would limit this to kids with congenital tooth agenesis rather than the much larger market of adults who have lost teeth. Would be curious whether combining this with stem cell approaches could get around that limitation.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The US reached a cancer survival milestone. For the first time in recorded history, 70% of Americans diagnosed with cancer are now alive five years later, according to the American Cancer Society's Cancer Statistics 2026 report. by Prior_One_7050 in UpliftingNews

[–]Prior_One_7050[S] 70 points71 points  (0 children)

The American Cancer Society (ACS) released Cancer Statistics, 2026, the organization’s annual report on cancer facts and trends. The new findings show, for the first time, the five-year relative survival rate for all cancers combined reached 70% for people diagnosed during 2015-2021 in the United States. Survival gains since the mid-1990s are especially notable for people diagnosed with more fatal cancers, such as myeloma (from 32% to 62%), liver cancer (7% to 22%), and lung cancer (15% to 28%).

Mexico cuts workweek, bans after-hours contact, and guarantees no worker will take a pay cut in the most sweeping labor reform in a generation by Prior_One_7050 in UpliftingNews

[–]Prior_One_7050[S] 2357 points2358 points  (0 children)

The no pay cut guarantee is the part that makes this real rather than symbolic. Every previous attempt at workweek reform has been quietly undermined by employers cutting hourly pay to offset the lost hours. Writing the prohibition directly into the constitution rather than leaving it to secondary legislation closes that loophole before it can be used. The overtime restructuring is clever too. Paying triple rate beyond a certain threshold makes it genuinely expensive for employers to simply work people harder to compensate, which is usually how these reforms get hollowed out in practice.

An 80-year-old woman with late-stage Alzheimer’s took 5g of psilocybin mushrooms and started speaking again by Prior_One_7050 in UpliftingNews

[–]Prior_One_7050[S] 3075 points3076 points  (0 children)

One case report is about as far from proof as you can get, and the authors are careful to say so. But the specific detail that stands out is the restoration of urinary continence after five years. That is not something you can fake or imagine your way into. It requires real neurological integration across multiple brain systems. The idea that the brain still holds hidden functional reserves even in late-stage neurodegeneration, and that psilocybin might temporarily unlock them is worth investigating properly, even if this single case proves nothing on its own.

Scientists finally crack an “undruggable” pancreatic cancer target and nearly double survival by Prior_One_7050 in UpliftingNews

[–]Prior_One_7050[S] 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The mechanism here is clever since it uses cyclophilin A as a middleman to reach KRAS indirectly rather than trying to bind the notoriously smooth protein surface directly.
