Study: Drug overdose deaths in the U.S. more than quadrupled from 1999 to 2020

The United States is experiencing its highest overall death rates in more than a century, fueled in part by drug overdose mortality. The origins of the current epidemic are due, at least in part, to a 1986 World Health Organization pronouncement that pain treatment is a universal right.

A combination of inhibitors may suppress tumor growth and prevent cancer relapse

An international team of researchers has demonstrated that a combination of inhibitors may suppress tumor growth and prevent relapse in patients with certain cancers, including head and neck squamous cell carcinoma and lung adenocarcinoma.

SARS-CoV-2 infection can exacerbate production of auto-antibodies relating to auto-immune diseases

An article published in NPJ Aging, a Springer Nature journal, reveals that natural production of auto-antibodies increases with age and that infection by SARS-CoV-2 can exacerbate production of auto-antibodies relating to auto-immune diseases, helping to explain why aging increases the chances of developing severe COVID-19.

Arf1 inhibition induces tumor regression by promoting T cell infiltration

In recent years, cancer immunotherapies, represented by immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), have been highly successful and have become an important basis for the future treatment of cancers.

Increased breast cancer incidence among women living in areas with high particulate matter levels

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health found that living in an area with high levels of particulate air pollution was associated with an increased incidence of breast cancer.

Low-molecular weight human interleukin-1β antagonist discovered

Researchers described the detection of a human interleukin-1β antagonist with low molecular weight that disrupts interactions with the interleukin-1 receptor type I receptor.

Study provides new hope for patients with stage III EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer

The immunotherapy drug, durvalumab, has been the standard of care for patients with stage III non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) to improve survival, when prescribed after chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

Unlocking the genetic code of blood sugar reveals new diabetes risks and lung complications

The study used a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to analyze random glucose levels in nearly half a million non-diabetic subjects, uncovering 150 distinct genetic signals, including 53 new ones, linked to glycemic traits and type 2 diabetes. The research also discovered a causal effect of random glucose and type 2 diabetes on lung function, identifying lung dysfunction as a new diabetes complication.

Irisin-based therapies may help combat Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers who previously developed the first 3D human cell culture models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that displays two major hallmarks of the condition - the generation of amyloid beta deposits followed by tau tangles - have now used their model to investigate whether the exercise-induced muscle hormone irisin affects amyloid beta pathology.
