Melatonin can reduce chronic musculoskeletal pain by 9 to 10 points on a 100-point scale. This therapeutic relief matches the efficacy of opioids and NSAIDs while bypassing their severe risks of organ toxicity and addiction, offering a safe, non-dependent adjunct that treats pain and sleep disruption simultaneously.

A new study reveals a split decision on using creatine to treat depression. While combining creatine with standard therapy or antidepressants significantly accelerated remission in adult women, it failed in adolescent, treatment-resistant, and bipolar cohorts, even triggering mania in some bipolar patients.

A new study demonstrates the first successful generation of retinal endothelial cells from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). When tested in vitro, the cells accurately modeled the tissue degradation of diabetic retinopathy, and when injected in vivo, they successfully integrated to regenerate damaged retinal blood vessels and restore function.

A new study demonstrates that a non-toxic viral infection via TMEV triggers the exact dopaminergic neuron destruction and progressive gait degradation seen in human Parkinson’s disease, establishing a vital new animal model to study the natural environmental origins of neurodegeneration.

Comforting others is a culturally bounded motive rather than a universal human instinct. While individualistic societies actively try to eliminate a peer’s distress to foster intimacy, collectivistic cultures accommodate negative emotions, viewing them as vital instruments for self-reflection and relationship cohesion.

A comprehensive study of 287 MS brain tissue donors from the Netherlands Brain Bank demonstrates that multiple sclerosis progression variability is driven by specific pathological features, such as broad rim lesions and myelin repair failures, which are directly modulated by an individual’s genetic background.
