Published Research
Medical research, also known as experimental medicine, encompasses a wide range of research, extending from "basic research" – involving fundamental principles of the body – to clinical research, which involves studies of people who may be subjects in clinical trials. Within this spectrum is applied research, or translational research, conducted to expand knowledge in the field of medicine. Research is an important way for the medical community to advance treatments. As a rare disease patient, staying up-to-date on research can be crucial to understanding treatment options. Research articles can be very dense, so summaries have been provided and are better for understanding the high level takeaways.
