A research team supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has achieved a groundbreaking medical milestone by successfully delivering a personalized CRISPR-based gene editing therapy to treat an infant with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency—a rare, life-threatening genetic liver disorder. This marks the first time a customized gene-editing therapy has been used in a human patient.
Advanced primary care management (APCM) aims to transition FFS providers to value-based care, integrating existing care management programs with new billing codes based on patient risk levels.
CMS allows APCM to be billed alongside services like RPM, enhancing financial incentives for providers and promoting growth in remote care management services.
In 2014, physician-scientist Adrienne Boire encountered a patient whose breast cancer had spread to her spinal fluid—a nutrient-poor, hostile environment. This inspired Boire’s research into how and why metastatic cancer cells survive in such challenging locations.

In patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), the use of SGLT2 inhibitors significantly increased the risk of falls, and the risk was even higher when combined with GLP-1 receptor agonists. Although GLP-1 RAs alone were not significantly linked to increased falls, combined therapy raised the risk substantially.
Dr. JoAnn Manson, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, discussed a recent study presented at the 2025 American Heart Association Epidemiology, Prevention, Lifestyle & Cardiometabolic Health Scientific Sessions in New Orleans. The study, known as the Cocoa Supplement Multivitamins Outcomes Study (COSMOS), explored whether daily multivitamin supplementation could slow biological aging, as measured by DNA methylation in epigenetic clocks.
