Molecular Map Matches Patient Tumors to Targeted Clinical Trial Therapies

A new molecular map of breast cancer has identified novel forms of the disease and provides a foundation for selecting personalized treatments guided by a tumor's molecular characteristics rather than standard pathology alone.

Longer Reproductive Lifespan, Hormone Use Associated with Better Brain Health

A longer reproductive lifespan and a history of using birth control pills or menopausal hormone therapy were associated with certain signs of blood vessel health in the brain, according to a study published November 4, 2026, in Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

Astaxanthin Launched in New Stable Format, Withstands Higher Levels of Oxygen Exposure

AstaReal AB is launching AstaReal® EB15, a new encapsulated and stable astaxanthin ingredient that enables use in a wider range of formulations, including two-piece capsules (HPMC or gelatin capsules).

Novel Molecular Bridge Links Coagulation Cascade with Cancer Hormonal Environment

New Cleveland Clinic research published in Cancer Cell shows that people with glioblastoma have more active platelets, which are cells involved in blood clotting. Platelets also communicate with other cells and can influence immune activity.

Targeting CDK1 to Optimize Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer

Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have found that the functioning of a protein known as CDK1 in breast cancer is associated with their reaction to a widely used treatment. This finding has the potential to guide more personalized treatment strategies for individuals.

New Research Reveals Strong Public Support for National Parks’ Role in Wellbeing, Nature and Climate Action

A new report from National Parks UK reveals strong public support for the wider role National Parks can play in people's lives, alongside shared concerns about mental wellbeing, nature loss, access to nature and the impacts of climate change.

UCLA Health Study Identifies Strategy to Boost Strength and Longevity of Cancer Fighting T Cells

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a promising new strategy to make cancer-fighting immune cells stronger and potentially longer-lasting, a discovery that could help improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies that use a patient's own immune cells to attack cancer.

Major Virology Breakthrough Identifies Third Known Family of Bacteria Infecting RNA Viruses

Thriving alongside trillions of bacteria in the human digestive tract is a vast population of viruses. Ever since one such denizen of the gut microbiome, known as picobirnavirus, was first spotted decades ago, researchers thought it directly infected human tissue and played a role in gastrointestinal illness.

Novel Translational Mechanism Selectively Drives Growth Proteins in Common Cancers

A previously unknown mechanism helps cancer cells selectively produce proteins that drive tumor growth - such as KRAS - in common cancers, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Aberrant RNA Splicing Generates Immunogenic Neoantigens in Systemic Lupus

Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) and the University of Washington (UW) have discovered that patients with lupus have unusual mutations that may turn their bodies into battlegrounds.

St. Jude Scientists Discover Gene-Regulatory Pathway Protecting Gut Immune Balance

Trillions of bacteria live in the human gut without triggering an immune response. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have now discovered a gene-regulatory pathway that helps maintain this delicate balance. Published today in Science Advances, they showed that a type of immune cell, regulatory T cells, co-opt a well-known general gene expression pathway called COMPASS to suppress inappropriate immune responses and prevent lethal inflammation and autoimmunity.

Optimizing Laser Pulse Energy for Deep-Brain Imaging Without Tissue Damage

As light travels deeper into the brain, it scatters. Three-photon microscopy, the current state of the art, reduces the resulting background fluorescence and can, in principle, image much deeper than earlier techniques-but to do that, it uses average laser power limits that cause overheating and damage living tissue.

“Izas, la princesa guisante” and Sant Joan de Déu Hospital Barcelona Launch an International Expert Tumor Board to Improve Care for Children with Gliomatosis Cerebri

The Spanish association “Izas, la princesa guisante” and the Pediatric Cancer Center Barcelona (PCCB) at Sant Joan de Déu Hospital have reached another milestone in the fight against childhood cancer: they have helped establish an international expert tumor board dedicated to pediatric gliomatosis cerebri.

Why a Breakthrough Blood Cancer Drug Could be Better for Patients

A more effective and better-tolerated treatment for chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) could improve quality of life for people living with the disease.

Taurine Deficiency Triggers Innate Immune Sensing of Cellular Danger Signals

Sustained low-level inflammation is a hallmark of the aging process. The accumulating damage persistently activates the innate immune system-the body's first line of defense-leading to what is known as inflammaging, functional decline and chronic diseases of old age.

Long-Read Nanopore Sequencing Resolves Unexplained Tumor Mutations

Michigan's Oncology Sequencing Program, or MiOncoSeq, was the first of its kind in the nation to sequence patient tumors.

New Genetic Map Identifies Variations Linked to Long QT Syndrome

Using an innovative, high-throughput technique, an international collaboration led by Vanderbilt Health researchers has created a "map" of 1,757 genetic variations that can trigger a life-threatening heart rhythm disorder called long QT syndrome.

Scientists Discover Molecular Cascade Behind Brain Dysregulation in Angelman Syndrome

Angelman syndrome is a rare disease with a single known cause: one missing gene. The lack of that gene, normally inherited from the mother, occurs in approximately one in 20,000 births and is associated with cognitive and mobility deficits that become evident in children when they are around 6 months of age.

Metabolic Reprogramming Enhances Gamma Delta CAR T Solid Tumor Clearance

By turning a patient's own immune cells into stronger cancer-fighting cells, CAR T-cell therapy has transformed how some blood cancers are treated. But it's been harder to extend this approach to solid tumors, including cancer that has spread to the bone.
