Research examines how cancer may invalidate forensic age-estimation tools

Patients with solid tumors, including breast and lung cancers, showed only slightly less accurate results. In contrast, individuals with blood cancers, particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), sometimes had large errors, with ages overestimated by as much as 50 years.

Study reveals genome rewiring mechanism driving mantle cell lymphoma

Translocations are chromosomal "cut and paste" errors that drive many lymphomas, a type of blood cancer and the sixth most common form of cancer overall.

Regular sleep schedule linked to better outcomes after heart failure

People recovering from heart failure should consider improving the regularity of their sleep, a study led by Oregon Health & Science University suggests.

Edible microbeads trap fat to support weight loss

Weight-loss interventions, including gastric bypass surgery and drugs that prevent dietary fat absorption, can be invasive or have negative side effects.

Gut bacteria and insomnia influence each other in small but significant ways, study shows

Scientists used Mendelian randomisation to explore the two-way relationship between gut microbiota and insomnia, analyzing GWAS data from over 386,000 individuals and two major microbiome cohorts. The study found only limited taxa surviving strict correction, suggesting small but causal links that highlight the gut–brain axis in sleep health.

Evidence review questions ketamine’s role in chronic pain treatment

A Cochrane review assessed ketamine and other NMDA receptor antagonists for chronic non-cancer pain. The evidence was low to very low certainty, showing no clear pain relief and potential adverse effects with intravenous ketamine.

New study uncovers a surprising mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy

A new international study led by researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center, the Karolinska Institutet and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has uncovered a surprising mechanism of resistance to immunotherapy: cancer's ability to injure nearby nerves.

One-stage hybrid operation improves safety in treating hypervascular brain and spinal tumors

Hypervascular tumors of the brain and spinal cord pose serious challenges for neurosurgeons due to their dense blood vessel networks, which can lead to heavy bleeding and increased surgical risk.

Combination treatment approach shows promise for hard-to-treat triple-negative breast cancer

A new study led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has found that adding the targeted therapy everolimus to standard carboplatin chemotherapy extends the time before disease progression in patients with advanced triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), one of the most aggressive and hard-to-treat forms of breast cancer.

New genome-wide CRISPR screening tool boosts natural killer cells to fight cancer

Natural killer (NK) cells became markedly better at killing cancer cells after scientists removed key gene targets identified through a new genome-wide CRISPR screening tool, according to new research from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

New formulation of chemotherapy drug opens doors to advanced cancer treatment options

University of Arizona researchers devised a new method to deliver cancer chemotherapy drugs to pancreatic and breast cancer tumors more effectively and with less damage to healthy tissues than standard forms of chemotherapy.

New thesis reveals flaws in parental insurance design and mental health support

Generous parental insurance can improve the mental health of new parents. However, the way the insurance is designed risks excluding those who need the support most. This is shown in a new doctoral thesis from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University.
