By Annalee Armstrong A Parkinson’s disease treatment from Neuraly, a biotech spun out from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, did not improve motor experiences of daily living or movement in a midstage trial, but the investigators did flag a better result for younger patients. |
By Annalee Armstrong BrainStorm Cell Therapeutics has been determined to get a twice-rejected amyotrophic lateral sclerosis treatment through the FDA process.

By Helen Floersh Though the work is only in the proof-of-concept stage, the “mini organs” could help develop patient-specific therapies for treating thymic dysfunction. |
By Andrea Park Seemingly undeterred by reports earlier this month that the FDA had rejected an early 2022 request from Neuralink to begin a clinical trial of its brain implant, Elon Musk's brain-computer interface company is reportedly plowing ahead with plans for human testing. |
By Paige Minemyer The NCAA basketball tournament is officially underway, and that means the Fierce Healthcare team is back with another bracket competition as well. |
