Some really hopeful news: a gene therapy trial for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (a muscle-wasting disease) met its goals! 🎉 The company plans to ask the FDA for approval in 2026.

A gene therapy given to a 13-month-old boy has, years later, led to a tumor in his brain after the virus carrying the gene inserted part of it directly into his DNA, researchers report. Learn more: https://scim.ag/4nwgXRZ

Mental illness needs visibility more urgently than almost any other area of medicine and health care. A new award from Wellcome and Nature aims to raise its prominence go.nature.com/4dtLr2t

🚨🧠🔬 Dopamine was discovered over a century ago, and has long been thought to only signal through metabotropic means. In our new preprint, we provide evidence that dopamine can directly signal through the "orphan" GluD ionotropic receptors. More to come! #iGluRs #neuroscience #dopamine #cryoEM
