As we gather with loved ones tomorrow, we’re reminded that family is more than traditions and recipes. It’s also the health histories we share across generations.

National Family Health History Day falls on Thanksgiving, which makes it a fitting moment to think about how our shared histories can help us take better care of ourselves and our families.

Through In Our DNA SC, MUSC researchers are using family health history to guide new discoveries that support healthier futures across South Carolina.

Ever wonder how your brain cleans itself? MUSC researchers, Dr. Onder Albayram and his team, have uncovered an important part of that process.

Using MRI technology developed with NASA, they found that the middle meningeal artery helps the brain drain waste and stay healthy.

Understanding this system in healthy people gives doctors a better starting point for spotting early signs of Alzheimer’s, brain injury, and other conditions.

Imagine having to choose between your health and your job.

For many people living with sarcoidosis, that has been the reality when seeking access to new treatments through clinical research.
