[ RNA is usually portrayed as a molecule that works deep inside the cell, helping to turn genetic information into proteins. But new research led by Utrecht University scientist Jack Li shows that RNA also plays an active role on the outside of cells. There, it appears to help immune …

[ Acute systemic inflammation has long been suspected to trigger harmful processes within the brain, contributing to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. A new study published online in the Journal of Proteome Research on November 30, 2025, led by Professor Kei Zaitsu from the Faculty of Biology-Oriented …

[ Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have found that a mitochondrial enzyme, GFER, creates an immunosuppressive environment within pancreatic tumors, leading to treatment resistance. Source link

[ New Yorkers want a more just, respectful health care system—and they have concrete ideas for how to get there, according to a new study by CUNY SPH researchers published in the Journal of Urban Health. Source link

[ A research team led by Félix Viana, co-director of the Sensory Transduction and Nociception laboratory at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), a joint research center of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), has demonstrated that the body uses different molecular mechanisms to …

[ Published today in Clinical Cancer Research, findings from a study led by investigators at the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology (VHIO), which forms part of the Vall d’Hebron Campus, underscore the efficacy of analyzing circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) using a highly sensitive liquid biopsy platform for evaluating early response, …

[ Lymphedema after head and neck cancer is considerably more common than previously assumed and can persist long after cancer treatment has finished. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have discovered that patients with a low level of physical activity face a higher risk of developing lymphedema. They have also …

[ Artificial intelligence may be able to reveal how fast your body is aging by analyzing a chest X-ray, according to a new study published in The Journals of Gerontology, Series A: Biological Sciences and Medical Sciences. Researchers found that a deep learning model was able to detect subtle, age-related …

[ Cancer researchers at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center have published three new studies demonstrating how advanced artificial intelligence and population health analytics can identify and address barriers to quality cancer care. Source link

[ St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital scientists have identified a promising combination approach to treat a rare but catastrophic pediatric brain cancer called atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor (ATRT). Source link

[ Treatments for serious illnesses like cancer can be enormously time-consuming. Yet most research on cancer-related time burdens has relied on hospital administrative data and medical records—information that captures appointment lengths but overlooks the many additional hours patients spend traveling to appointments, managing care at home and handling the paperwork …

[ Antibiotics are powerful treatments that have saved countless lives over the course of decades. New findings from Scripps Research have identified a way to preserve healthy immune development even when infants need antibiotic treatment. Source link

[ Following the COVID-19 pandemic, food insecurity became a pressing issue in Broome County, N.Y. In response, several members of the Binghamton University, State University of New York community established the (COVID-19) Food Justice Working Group (FJWG), a multidisciplinary campus collaboration aimed at researching and addressing challenges in the food …

[ University of Mississippi researchers have designed a 3D-printed capsule that can release medication at exactly the moment a patient needs it, improving care for those who suffer from chronic illnesses. Source link

[ Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., second only to heart disease. But a new cancer treatment method from CU Boulder researchers uses sound waves to soften tumors and could be a potent tool against the disease. Source link

[ New research from the University of St Andrews has discovered a direct causal effect between social isolation and a faster decline in later-life cognitive function. Pathological cognitive decline is most often driven by Alzheimer’s and related dementias Source link

[ A review published in Genomic Psychiatry by Dr. Peng Lei and colleagues presents a sweeping synthesis of tau protein research that fundamentally reframes our understanding of this molecule’s dual identity. Source link

[ A new study finds just 6% of clinical trials used to approve new drugs in the U.S. reflect the country’s racial and ethnic makeup, with an increasing trend of trials underrepresenting Black and Hispanic individuals. Source link

[ Many patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) suffer from abdominal pain even between acute inflammatory flare-ups. Altered processing of pain in response to fear may be involved. This is the conclusion of a research team at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, involving Dr. Hanna Ohlmann. Source link

[ A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs known as assembloids, which are derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. With this circuit, the team demonstrated that the thalamus plays a crucial role in shaping cell type-specific neural circuits in …
