A recent 2026 study is providing additional clues about the biology of hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD) and hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS). In this article, we’ll explore what the researchers discovered, why they believe the two conditions may share common biological mechanisms, and what these findings could mean for future research. How the Study Was […]
