Medicine is a field of science and practice that involves the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various medical conditions. Medicine has evolved greatly over the centuries, and today it is a complex field that involves a broad range of disciplines, including pharmacology, epidemiology, toxicology, physiology, pathology, and many more. In this section, you can find news and articles about the latest developments in medicine and healthcare, as well as videos that provide insight into the world of medicine.
As a researcher in regenerative medicine, I’m fascinated by the body’s ability to heal itself. My recent study in npj Regenerative Medicine explores human alternatively activated macrophages (hAAMs) to promote liver regeneration, offering a promising step toward innovative cell therapies.
Scientists have developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy -- organisms carrying extra genome copies -- in evolution. Their findings reveal that polyploidy can stabilize populations in predictable environments, where the evolution of novel traits is not required, enabling organisms to adapt and thrive in challenging conditions by accelerating evolutionary innovation. This breakthrough offers fresh insights into evolutionary mechanisms and their implications for microbiology, biotechnology, and medicine.
The abstract deadline is February 3 for the 10th annual meeting of the International Society for Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health will be at Vanderbilt University in Nashville this year, just before a big symposium to celebrate the centenary of the Scopes trial. Wonderful keynote speakers include Robert Woods on evolutionary medicine in the infectious…
Oxygen is essential for human life, yet a growing body of preclinical research is demonstrating that chronic continuous hypoxia can be beneficial in models of mitochondrial disease, autoimmunity, ischemia, and aging. This research is revealing exciting new and unexpected facets of oxygen biology, but translating these findings to patients poses major challenges, because hypoxia can…
Carrera, S. C., Godoy, I., Gault, C. M., Mensing, A., Damm, J., Perry, S. E., & Beehner, J. C. (2025). Stress responsiveness in a wild primate predicts survival across an extreme El Niño drought. Science Advances, 11(4), eadq5020. https://doi.org/10.1126/sciadv.adq5020 My early research was on neuroendocrine responses to fear, and I took great pleasure in writing…
By Joe Alcock Many advances in the care of critically ill patients over time have involved intervening less aggressively. A recent perspective by D’Amico and colleagues (1) builds on that tradition of “less is more.” In Protective Hemodynamics: C.L.E.A.R.! the authors urge caution in treating low blood pressure with fluids or vasopressor medications. D’Amico, F.,…
A Q&A with Elvin Geng, who took on the co-EiC role for Implementation Science Communications in January 2025. A Professor of Medicine within the Division of Infectious Diseases at Washington University in St. Louis, he also leads as its Director of the Center for Dissemination and Implementation.
