The assumption that has kept women out of so many physiology studies for years — uncertainty about potential fluctuations due to menstrual cycles or hormonal birth control — turns out to be incorrect.
Endometriosis is an age-old condition and yet until recently, the complex disorder remained largely overlooked due to medical and social perceptions of women’s pain.
Here’s how to sift through complicated studies without getting overwhelmed.
This little-known brain disorder is currently one of the biggest challenges facing medicine where age-related diseases are concerned.
Scolyer captured the world’s attention when he volunteered for a world-first experimental treatment for brain cancer. He died on Sunday night, aged 59.
In cardiology, sex and gender-sensitive diagnosis and treatment planning are crucial, but biological differences remain the missing link in AI-powered human virtual twin technology.
Some industry-funded clinical trials show signs of being designed to market drugs rather than to test them for their safety and effectiveness. Detecting these studies remains difficult.
A secret HIV research project carried out in the Central African Republic in the 1990s sheds light on how biomedical extractivism operates.
Could philanthropists be dominating global health metrics, governance, and outcomes?
This change frees researchers to study cannabis products that most consumers encounter when buying medical marijuana – which could accelerate its treatment potential.
Medicine is steadily improving its evidence base, but in children, careful research and ethical limits mean progress takes time.
The agency’s budget has grown steadily since the 1960s, fueling an industry that creates lifesaving medicines and attracts billions of dollars in investment.
Answering personal questions at the doctor’s office can help researchers recognize health problems and find effective interventions.
CAR-T cells are 1,000 times more effective at destroying cancer than our own immune systems.
More than a century of evidence suggests that bureaucrats, at their best, stand for expertise, fairness and public service.
When people with lived experience contribute to the design and delivery of health care and research, it means services are used more and fairer outcomes achieved.
The incidence of cardiovascular disease varies according to sex and age. Research shows that it also varies by gender, so it is important to considering this when doing research.
One day, lab-grown tissue could give us new livers, help rebuild tissues damaged in accidents and enable personalised treatments for cancers.
Trump’s war on science is threatening even Australian research projects. So why does a growing pot of medical research funds remain unallocated?
