Op 7 september is het World Duchenne Awareness Day. Voor Luc Vandevyvere krijgt die dag een bijzondere betekenis: honderd dagen lang fietst hij elke dag honderd kilometer voor zijn kleinzoon Stan, die Duchenne heeft. Met zijn tocht van bijna 10.000 kilometer vraagt hij aandacht voor de ziekte en zamelt hij geld in voor het VUB Duchenne Fonds . Prof. dr. Thierry VandenDriessche, die samen met prof.

Thirteen percent of U.S. children aged 3–17 have a diagnosed mental or behavioral health condition, and American youth suicide rates far exceed those of peer countries. But the popular story — a sudden, smartphone-driven collapse — doesn't fit five decades of data. This series examines where the crisis comes from, which interventions demonstrably help, and what we still need to learn.

As more individuals with cerebral palsy live well into adulthood, medical professionals are taking a closer look at the unique long-term healthcare needs of this patient population. While adults with cerebral palsy require the same routine health maintenance as anyone else, a large, national study conducted at Yale showed that women living with cerebral palsy received significantly less preventati

by Taylor McNeil September 10, 2026 Biomedical Science , Cancer , School of Arts and Sciences , Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Share When cancer strikes, it doesn’t appear in isolation—the surrounding materials in our bodies have been tricked into supporting the tumor’s out-of-control growth. An important part of that mix is the microenvironment around the tumors, made up largely of the extracellular matrix, with its variety of molecules and proteins like collagen and elastin. How that ext

Facing major surgery is stressful, but for older adults, unaddressed anxiety and depression can impede physical recovery. A clinical trial led by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has found that starting an intervention before surgery — one that combines mental health coaching with optimization of medications that may increase risks for older adults — reduces pos
