This Pill Will Change Cancer Treatment Forever (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Revolution Medicines is the winner of the 2026 Gizmodo Science Fair for its research and development of Rasonque (daraxonrasib), the first approved cancer drug of its kind. Can we find an effective and reliable treatment for pancreatic cancer, which currently only has a five-year survival rate of 13%? In a large-scale clinical trial of 500 people with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (the most common form of pancreatic cancer), people on daraxonrasib lived twice as long as those on st
Scientists Uncover Worrying Link Between Frequent Cannabis Use and Seizures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cannabis has arguably become the most popular recreational drug in the U.S. in recent years—with more Americans now consuming it daily than cigarette smoking and even alcohol. Research out today highlights a possible dark side to frequent cannabis use for at least some people, however: a greater risk of worsening seizures. Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis studied people with treatment-resistant epilepsy, and found that people who reported frequent cannabis
Living Drugs Transformed Blood Cancer Treatment—and That's Just the Beginning (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Recent research now shows that a sizable number of Americans have been taking GLP-1s off-label. Scientists at New York University and others examined the medical records of Americans across the country. Since 2021, they found that at least 1.1 million Americans were prescribed a GLP-1 without having an FDA-approved indicati
These Scientists Are Charting a New Future for Organ Transplantation—and It Starts With Pigs (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers at the NYU Langone Transplant Institute are the winners of the 2026 Gizmodo Science Fair for their ongoing work in developing animal-to-human transplantation, also known as xenotransplantation. Can we ever create a reliable and safe supply of new organs for those who need them? In September 2021, Robert Montgomery and his team performed a novel procedure: the first transplantation of a genetically modified pig organ into a still-intact human body. The family of a neurologically dead
