Psychedelics are moving fast into mental‑health care. Trials show that people often feel mystical moments while taking these substances, and researchers think those moments help heal depression, PTSD, anxiety, and addiction. This idea fits with the long history of psychedelics in spiritual rituals.
Physiotherapy is a key part of recovery after a stroke, yet the exact place it holds inside hospital teams can be unclear. In one study researchers asked both physiotherapists and the managers who run stroke units to share their views. The aim was simple: see how each group sees the job of phy
A scientist in London began to notice that patients who watched shows or listened to music felt better, even when they didn’t need painkillers or could not remember names. This sparked a long career that mixed music, psychology and biology to prove that art can lower stress hormones, reduce inflamm
In the United Kingdom, a small group of women with cancer share how they see psilocybin—a psychedelic mushroom— as a hopeful option for easing the mental strain that often follows a diagnosis. They describe a deep need to heal physically and emotionally, noting how everyday treatments sometimes m
Megan Thee Stallion's relationship with Klay Thompson took her by surprise. She didn't see it coming, but she believes it happened because she was in a better place mentally and emotionally.

In a new look at the many stories told by women who practice yoga for health, researchers gathered 12 studies that span a wide age range from 22 to 84 years old.

The battle against breast cancer often feels like a tug‑of‑war. In one common type, the tumor keeps growing because it hides from the body’s own defenders. Scientists used fancy lab tools to look inside these tumors. They found many natural killer (NK) cells that were ready to attack. In normal con
A new way of watching cell growth uses tiny smart sensors that stay inside the culture chamber. The chambers, called G‑Rex, let cells expand quickly because they get oxygen and food just by moving air around them. Because no pumps are needed, the whole process is less complicated and cheaper t
These tiny 3‑D cultures, called organoids, are changing how scientists study lung cancer. Instead of flat cell sheets or animal models that take months to grow, organoids can be produced quickly while keeping the original tumor’s structure and variety. Researchers now grow lung cancer organoid
