PTGES3 emerges as key regulator of androgen receptor in prostate cancer

A poorly characterized protein, historically thought to be a chaperone or enzyme, may actually be a key player in prostate cancer.

Hidden cell structures reveal a common weakness in leukemia

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like disorder turned out to follow a simple physical rule – one that connects several major mutations behind the disease.

Breakthrough research offers first targeted treatment option for NRAS-mutant melanoma

New research from Moffitt Cancer Center shows that RAS(ON) multi-selective inhibition can directly block tumor growth and activate the immune system, offering the first targeted approach for patients with NRAS-mutant melanoma, an aggressive form of skin cancer with limited treatment options beyond immune checkpoint inhibitors.

UCLA experts call for individualized heart monitoring in breast cancer survivors

As breast cancer survival rates continue to climb - 4.3 million women in the U.S. are currently living with a history of the disease and in the next 10 years that number is expected to rise by another million - heart health has become an increasingly important part of survivorship care.

Study finds high intake of ultra-processed foods tied to reduced DNA methylation

Women who consumed more ultra-processed foods (UPFs) showed distinct DNA methylation patterns, mostly reduced across key gene regions. These exploratory findings suggest that high UPF intake may influence gene regulation through epigenetic mechanisms.

Do GLP-1 drugs cause cancer? New review says no, may even protect

A comprehensive review in The Journal of Clinical Investigation finds no overall link between GLP-1 receptor agonists and increased cancer risk, countering early safety concerns. Instead, evidence suggests possible protective effects for certain cancers, supported by metabolic and immune-modulating mechanisms.

GLP-1 drugs calm inflammation beyond diabetes and weight loss

This Journal of Clinical Investigation review describes how glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)–based medicines reduce systemic and tissue inflammation through both weight-dependent and weight-independent mechanisms. It details preclinical and clinical evidence linking GLP-1 receptor activation to cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, neural, and joint anti-inflammatory effects while outlining uncertainties and future research needs.

Flexible drug-delivery patch can promote tissue healing after a heart attack

MIT engineers have developed a flexible drug-delivery patch that can be placed on the heart after a heart attack to help promote healing and regeneration of cardiac tissue.

Free radicals generated at a specific site in astrocytes may promote dementia

Researchers have discovered that free radicals generated at a specific site in non-neuronal brain cells called astrocytes, may promote dementia, according to a Weill Cornell Medicine study.

Novel vaccine strategy could solve the challenge of implanted device infections

Patients with implanted medical devices like orthopedic joint replacements, pacemakers, and artificial heart valves run a small but significant risk that these devices get infected with bacterial pathogens.

New research sheds light on E. coli spread in human communities

Bacteria that often cause urinary infections can spread as rapidly as swine flu. But E. coli that are resistant to several classes of antibiotics behave differently.

NIH-funded study investigates signals mediating the earliest stages of cancer development

The same cellular renewal that keeps our bodies healthy might also fuel the growth of cancer. A UC Merced biologist has found that the brain could hold the key to stopping it.

Indoor hydroponic gardening boosts wellbeing for cancer patients

Indoor hydroponic gardening - a method of growing plants using nutrient-rich water instead of soil - could help cancer patients develop better mental health, eat a healthier diet and enjoy a better overall quality of life.

New approach harnesses tumor's own machinery to produce immune-stimulating molecules

By stimulating cancer cells to produce a molecule that activates a signaling pathway in nearby immune cells, MIT researchers have found a way to force tumors to trigger their own destruction.

Hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells to promote antitumor immunity

Investigators from Mass General Brigham have developed a way to promote antitumor immunity by hijacking cellular machinery within cancer cells.

Daily vaping and failed quit attempts rise sharply among U.S. youth

Since 2019, overall rates of nicotine vaping have declined among U.S. youth, but those who continue to vape are showing signs of worsening addiction, according to new USC research.

Kids First DRC releases 37th pediatric study on rare childhood cancers

The Gabriella Miller Kids First Data Resource Center (Kids First DRC) has released its 37th pediatric research study, available in the Kids First Data Resource Portal.

How walnuts combat inflammation and oxidative stress in the body

This review in Food Science & Nutrition synthesizes evidence showing that walnuts (Juglans regia L.) exert potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, apoptosis-regulatory, and immunomodulatory effects through bioactive compounds influencing mitochondrial, cytokine, and redox pathways.

Study highlights bioengineered models as key to early cancer detection

Scientists are exploring leading-edge technologies that could transform how cancer is studied, detected and treated by catching it earlier, when it's more treatable and survival rates are highest.

New WashU center aims to transform disease diagnosis through AI imaging

Mallinckrodt Institute of Radiology (MIR) at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis is establishing a new center dedicated to developing AI-based imaging tools to improve the diagnosis and precision treatment of cancers, cardiovascular disease, neurological diseases and numerous other conditions.
