Can Everyday Supplements Lead to Failed Anti-Doping Tests?

Researchers developed a high-throughput LC-MS/MS platform that screened 331 pharmacologically active compounds and quantitatively validated 214 analytes across representative food matrices. Applied to 78 commercial foods and supplements, the framework showed that some products could produce modeled urinary concentrations exceeding WADA reporting thresholds under realistic intake scenarios.

Inherited Genetic Pathways Shape Individual Cancer Risk and Outcomes

Why do two people with the same cancer diagnosis-the same stage, the same cell type, and the same clinical profile-often have completely different outcomes? For decades, scientists have studied acquired mutations in cancer to find answers, but mutations alone explain only part of the story.

DNA Study Reveals the Personal Pathways Behind Different Tumors

Why do two individuals with the identical cancer diagnosis—the same cell type, the same stage, and the same clinical profile—often experience very different outcomes? Scientists have been researching acquired mutations in cancer for decades in an effort to uncover solutions, but mutations by themselves only account for a part of the problem.
