Olive Oil Before Carbs Reduces Early Blood Sugar Spikes in Mice

Managing post-meal blood glucose spikes is a critical focus in diabetes treatment. Clinical studies show that consuming vegetables, protein, or fat prior to carbohydrates can lower post-meal blood sugar levels. This makes meal sequencing an easy, sustainable dietary strategy.

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Maps Neuroblastoma Intratumoral Heterogeneity

Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor found outside of the brain in children, yet why some children respond well to treatment while others do not has remained poorly understood. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists and their collaborators built one of the most comprehensive datasets of neuroblastoma cells to date, using it to define the tumor's cell types and identify a gene signature marking a malignant cell population tied to poor prognosis.

Mission Success: Australian Cancer Research Returns From Space

Human stem cells from Adelaide University’s Centre for Cancer Biology have successfully travelled to the edge of space and back as part of a landmark mission for Australian cancer research.

Stem Cell Models Demonstrate Precise Cellular Nibbling of Pathological Fibrils

Researchers at the University of Oxford have uncovered a previously unrecognized protective role for microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, in Parkinson's disease.

Single-Cell RNA Sequencing Reveals Cellular Heterogeneity Across Distinct Anatomical Prostate Zones

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a distinct type of prostate cell that may help solve the long-standing mystery of why benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) - a noncancerous enlargement of the prostate that commonly affects men as they age - develops almost exclusively in one region of the prostate.

Mediterranean Diet Linked to Lower Likelihood of Acne in Adults

According to new King’s College London research, adults who followed a Mediterranean-style diet, rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains and healthy fats, were less likely to report acne, particularly for women.

Single-Cell Metabolic Profiling Identifies Key Bioenergetic Targets in Human Tumor Tissue

Immune cells can reach head and neck tumors, but once there, many stop functioning. This helps explain why immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors - which have transformed treatment for some cancers - benefit only 17%–23% of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. These are cancers that arise from cells lining the mouth, throat and voicebox.

Novel Therapeutic Approaches for Malaria Using Anti-Cancer Compound Derivatives

Molecules known for their anti-cancer activity have proven effective in combating Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite that causes malaria.

Personalized Support Boosts Genetic Testing Uptake Among At-Risk Family Members

Among cancer patients who received personalized support and navigation services from experts throughout the genetic testing process, their first-degree relatives – parents, siblings and children – were significantly more likely to receive genetic testing, as well. Nearly half of those relatives carried a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, which are associated with a higher risk of cancer, according to a new study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Targeted Y Chromosome Deletions Disrupt Key Cellular Immune Response Pathways

A new study found that cancer cells selectively chip away gene-rich sections of the Y chromosome, triggering ripples that regulate tumor growth.

Oncogene-Induced Senescence Exhibits Dual Role in Tumor Suppression and Progression

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered that a single cancer-causing gene can trigger different responses in cells, with some helping to prevent tumors while others may contribute to their development.

Post-Translational Modification Crosstalk Regulates Oncogenic Protein Stability and Activity

A review published in Genes & Diseases highlights the complex interplay between protein arginine methylation and ubiquitination, two forms of protein modification that can profoundly influence cancer development, progression and treatment response. The article brings together current understanding of how these interconnected molecular processes regulate proteins involved in cancer and identifies opportunities for future therapeutic approaches.

Neutrophil Activation by NMU Blocks Cytotoxic T Cell Tumor Infiltration

A new study from The Wistar Institute has found a link between the nervous system and the rapid development of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), an aggressive form of the disease.

Chronic Inflammation Linked to Heart Changes and Risks

Chronic inflammation, indicated by GlycA levels, has been linked to heart changes and increased cardiovascular risk, highlighting genetic and environmental interactions.

3D Stem-Cell miBrains Model Complex Neurovascular Pathology in Human Tissue

Mount Sinai researchers have identified how APOE4, the strongest genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, damages the brain's blood vessels and promotes the buildup of abnormal proteins linked to neurodegenerative disease.

Cancer Cells Hijack Embryonic Repair Mechanisms to Seed Liver Metastases

Most colon cancer deaths are caused by the spread of tumor cells beyond the colon, usually to the liver. In a new study, MIT biologists identified a cellular pathway necessary for colorectal cancer metastasis.

Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts Construct Physical Barriers Limiting Antitumor T Cell Infiltration

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown pathway that prostate tumors leverage to suppress the immune system by reshaping the tumor microenvironment to resist treatment.

Garvan Researchers Uncover Genetic Causes of Inherited Muscle Disease

A world-first test developed by researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has identified the genetic cause of inherited muscle disease in people who remained without answers after years, sometimes decades, of standard testing.

How Feedback Mechanisms Control Neural Chaos for Stable Visual Processing

What we see appears stable, even though neuronal activity is full of irregular fluctuations. A team led by Dr Mehdi Borjkhani from ICTER has shown, using a minimal model of the primary visual cortex, that two natural feedback mechanisms can constrain chaos and reduce variability in neural activity by up to 93 percent.
