Medical Frontiers

Immunotherapy is offering a new approach to uterine cancer. Genetic testing can help predict how effective it may be. We also explore a new iPS cell-based treatment that rejuvenates immune cells.

Two drugs have been approved for their potential to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. We look at how they work and report on new findings suggesting a food-derived component may also help.

Age-related hearing loss is a risk factor for dementia, according to a report in the Lancet. In Japan, a unique rehabilitation program is helping people recognize words while wearing hearing aids.

Fecal microbiota transplantation transfers gut bacteria from a healthy donor's stool into a patient's colon. It is being explored as a treatment for ulcerative colitis, Parkinson's disease and ADHD.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are becoming a game changer in the treatment of obesity. However, using them without medical supervision is risky. We report on the potential of GLP-1 treatment.

A new treatment for irregular heartbeats, pulsed field ablation, or PFA, reduces patient burden and offers high success rates. We also explore a food component that may help prevent the condition.

Nucleic acid therapeutics, which target mRNA, are bringing hope for both intractable diseases such as ALS and common conditions like knee osteoarthritis. We explore the latest advances.

Japanese researchers have developed a science-backed strength-training method that helps maintain fitness without strain. It's a simple form of eccentric training—just five counts over three seconds.
