    on June 7, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    “There is a clear gap between what patients expect from the health care services and what they actually receive,” says Alison Axisa Eriksen of the University of Agder (UiA). As part of her Ph.D. research, she has reviewed hundreds of complaints submitted to the Patient and User Ombudsman to understand what is going wrong in the municipal health services.

  • Poor sleep threatens health, society and the economy
    on June 7, 2026 at 2:30 pm

    An increasing number of people are suffering from sleep deprivation, difficulty falling asleep, or interrupted sleep—with consequences for health, society, and the economy. An international research team involving the Institute of Neuroscience and Medicine—Brain and Behavior (INM-7) at Forschungszentrum Jülich is therefore calling for a fundamental rethink. In the future, sleep should no longer be regarded merely as a personal health issue, but as a global health priority, they argue.

  • Engineered stem cells reverse new-onset type 1 diabetes in mice

    A group of researchers at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) has recently developed a new stem cell therapy with a remarkable ability to reverse new-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) in a mouse model of the disease. The work is published in the journal Molecular Therapy.

  • Lab-grown aging eye model reveals early AMD markers in weeks

    The rods and cones in your eyes are responsible for helping you see, but what is responsible for helping them? Retinal pigment epithelium cells are their caretakers, but environmental, genetic and aging factors can strain them and make them less effective. This is known as age-related macular degeneration—a leading cause of blindness.

  • New noninvasive tool may allow early detection of dangerous intestinal disease in preemies
    on June 7, 2026 at 10:13 am

    A new noninvasive technology, called broadband optical spectroscopy (BOS), has promise for reliably detecting necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in premature infants at earlier stages, before this devastating intestinal disease progresses enough to be visible on X-rays, according to a first-in-human study from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago published in the Journal of Pediatric Surgery.
