A preclinical study has shown that linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid found in seed oils such as soybean and safflower oil, as well as in animal products like pork and eggs, specifically enhances the growth of the hard-to-treat “triple-negative” breast cancer subtype. …
A predictive model for chemotherapy response in muscle-invasive bladder cancer was developed by combining tumor imaging and gene expression data, potentially personalizing treatment and preventing unnecessary bladder removal. …
Working toward more effective tuberculosis vaccines, researchers have developed two strains of mycobacteria with “kill switches” that can be triggered to stop the bacteria after they activate an immune response. …
A preclinical study showed that adding engineered blood vessel-forming cells to islet transplants enhanced insulin-producing cell survival and reversed type 1 diabetes, suggesting potential for wider use in diabetes treatment. …
Study shows that tumors drive blood clot formation by releasing chemokines, which circulate to the lungs and prompt macrophages to release small vesicles that attach to platelets, forming life-threatening clots. …
Preclinical study shows that beneficial gut bacteria and the body work together to fine-tune fat metabolism and regulate cholesterol levels. …
A preclinical study in mice shows that circulating estrogen increases binge alcohol consumption in females and contributes to known sex differences in this behavior. …
Tirzepatide, a new injectable weight-loss drug, reduced the risk of diabetes in patients with obesity and prediabetes by more than 90% over a three-year period compared to a placebo. …
Researchers have discovered a mechanism that ovarian tumors use to weaken immune cells and hinder their attack by blocking the energy supply that T cells rely on. …
Preclinical study finds that high levels of the NBR1 protein in specialized liver cells may predict poor immunotherapy response in liver cancer, while reducing NBR1 levels can shrink tumors in animal models. …
