Why Laughter May Be Good Medicine for COPD (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A playful new twist on breathing exercises could help patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) manage their condition — and many clinicians might not know about it yet. Results from a new clinical trial presented at the European Respiratory Society Congress in Barcelona, Spain, showed that “laughter therapy” — using deliberate laughter in breathing exercises — helps patients breathe easier and stay healthier just as effectively as pursed-lip breathing, a commonly recommended te

A new stem cell treatment for a progressive eye disorder helped patients read five extra lines on a standard eye chart — offering fresh hope for those who’ve exhausted existing treatments. Published in JAMA Ophthalmology, the technique combines eye-surface stem cells with supporting cells to ensure their survival once transplanted. That’s because growing stem cells in a lab is only half the battle. Once placed in the eye, they depend on surrounding surface layers, blood supply, and nerve signals
âA Lot to Sayâ: Doctors Use Comics to Deliver Best Medicine (opens the original)

As a child, Nathan Gray, MD, dreamt that he’d grow up to become Batman or at least a superhero cartoonist. Instead, he traded his sketchbooks for textbooks and went to medical school. Life as an early-career doctor, however, didn’t extinguish his need to make art — it just gave him more stories to tell. During a keynote speech at the Graphic Medicine 2026 Conference in Baltimore, Gray recalled finding himself, “swirling into this tunnel of diagnoses, tests, labs, learning about the science. But

Parents may tell pediatricians that their toddler devours multiple slices of pizza at birthday parties while other kids pick at their plates. No single study explains every nuance of early childhood eating habits, but new research from the University of Guelph offers a key clue: Children with specific variants in “clock genes” — the parts of DNA that regulate cells’ 24-hour circadian cycles — may eat more calories and less protein than their peers. The findings could lead to new precision nutrit
Scientists May Have a New Explanation for Excessive Sweating (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For people with hyperhidrosis, it always feels like the middle of August. New research brings us closer to understanding why — and the answer lies not in the sweat glands but deep within the autonomic nervous system. In a study published in Science Advances, researchers from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine identified rare genetic variants that appear to hyperactivate the nerves controlling sweat production. The findings suggest that primary idiopathic hyperhidrosis — excessive sw
