Novel Molecular Pathway Identified to Combat T-Cell Exhaustion in Cancer

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center used a CRISPR screen to identify a key molecular pathway that drives exhaustion in cancer-fighting immune cells, limiting their ability to keep tumors under control.

Cortisol is a Reproduction Friend, Not Enemy

The large systematic review, led by La Trobe University and involving scientists in the United States and Canada, found that while cortisol is often labelled a “stress hormone”, they are a normal and potentially supportive part of female reproductive cycles.

Targeted Interneuron Manipulation Improves Learning and Memory Processing Capabilities

Researchers were able to restore the function of neurons linked to cognitive function and information processing in mice that mimic key features of Alzheimer's disease, showing early promise for the development of a similar targeted therapy in humans.

Artificial Intelligence Integrates Multi-Omic Data to Predict HPV Lesion Progression

Infection with human papillomavirus (HPV) is extremely common and, in the vast majority of cases, clears up on its own. However, in some people, it persists and can develop into precancerous lesions or even cancer.

Immunometabolic Reprogramming Strategy Addresses Chronic Inflammatory Conditions

Colorectal cancer has become the leading cause of cancer-related death for people under 50. Its most common forms generally aren't treatable, either through conventional means like chemotherapy or newer immunotherapy drugs.

Overcoming Bioprinting Challenges for Mature Adipocytes in 3D Tissue Models

Adipose tissue is a metabolically active organ involved in energy storage, endocrine signaling, and whole-body metabolic regulation.

Comprehensive Analysis of Emerging Strategies for Targeting Cyclin-Dependent Kinases in Cancer

More than 30 years after the direct connection was established between the molecular machinery controlling cell division and cancer, a new paper traces the evolution of cyclin-dependent kinase research and outlines the next generation of CDK-targeted therapies.

Scientists Discover Cell Division Mechanism Driving Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Experts from the University of Nottingham have discovered how a common genetic mutation disrupts the positioning of a key protein during cell division, revealing a new mechanism behind acute myeloid leukemia and a potential avenue for future treatment.

The Highs and Lows of Life Both Shape How the Brain Ages

Life experiences can shape perspectives, values and decisions in individuals. Now, researchers are looking at the impact of life experiences - both good and bad - on the ageing brain.

New AI Model Decodes the Language of Immune Cell Movement

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and collaborating institutions in Texas developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that helps explain how immune cells find their way to specific locations in the body and why they avoid others.

Massive Tumor Cell Analysis Reveals Secret Mechanism Behind Pancreatic Cancer Resistance

A new analysis of nearly half a million cells from dozens of pancreatic tumors, led by researchers at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center and New York University (NYU), reveals how pancreatic cancer cells continuously reshape their genetic makeup over time, enabling them to evade treatment.

Targeting Neural Chloride Homeostasis Mitigates Motor Deficits in Dystrophic Mice

DMD is a severe X-linked disorder caused by dystrophin deficiency and is characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness.

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.
