Michael Flores+FollowNew Molecule Could Change Rare Disease GameScientists just found a single molecule that might actually reverse the effects of rare, devastating genetic diseases caused by POLG mutations. This is huge—these conditions are tough to treat and can show up at any age. The new compound, PZL-A, basically helps the cell’s powerhouses (mitochondria) fix themselves, even when their DNA is messed up. Early lab results are super promising, and clinical trials are already underway. Could this be the breakthrough so many have been waiting for? #ScienceNews #MedicalBreakthrough #Genetics #RareDisease #HealthInnovation #Science90Share
Barry Miller+FollowNaltrexone: The New Ozempic for Booze?Why is no one talking about naltrexone for drinking? It’s been around forever, but barely anyone uses it—mostly because of stigma and doctors not bringing it up. Now, telehealth startups are making it as easy to get as Ozempic or Viagra, with ads everywhere and no judgment. The twist? GLP-1 meds like Ozempic might also help people drink less. Could this be the moment naltrexone finally gets its glow-up? #Naltrexone #Ozempic #AlcoholAwareness #Telehealth #StigmaFree #HealthInnovation #Health1912Share
nathan87+Follow$500M Bet on a Universal Vaccine?!The government just dropped $500 million on a 'universal' vaccine that could protect against tons of pandemic viruses at once—think flu, COVID, and more. This new project, 'Generation Gold Standard,' is ditching the Biden-era COVID vax accelerator (which they called 'wasteful') and going old-school with a vaccine tech from the 1940s. Some scientists are skeptical, but HHS says this could be the future of vaccines. Will it work, or is it just another wild goose chase? #VaccineNews #PandemicPrep #HealthInnovation #ScienceUpdate #Health1723Share
reyesbrian+FollowNo More Chilled Vaccines?!Imagine vaccines that don’t need a fridge! A UK company just kicked off the first-ever trial of a room-temperature vaccine. This could be a total game-changer for places where keeping things cold is tough. They’re starting with tetanus and diphtheria, but if it works, up to 60 other vaccines could follow. The best part? It could slash vaccine waste in half since so many doses get tossed because of cold-chain issues. Fingers crossed this works! #HealthInnovation #Vaccines #ScienceNews #GlobalHealth #Health10Share
