Fungi detected in 35 cancer types, often intracellular

In a recent article published in the journal Cell, researchers found fungal deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and cells at low abundances across many human cancers, with cancer type-dependent variations in fungus community composition and fungal-bacteriome interactions.

Scientists move a step closer to advancing personalized cancer treatment

In a step likely to advance personalized cancer treatment, scientists have for the first time shown in patients that levels of biomarkers are not enough to tell which patients are likely to respond best to immunotherapy.

Proteomic analysis identifies novel phenotypes associated with COVID-19 severity in circulating immune cells

In a recent study, researchers used proteomic analysis to identify novel immune cell phenotypes associated with severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Microniches of intratumoral microbiota impact spatial and cellular heterogeneity in cancer

Researchers mapped spatial, cellular, and molecular interactions of host and tumor-associated bacteria within the tumor microenvironment.

Time-restricted eating may benefit Alzheimer's

In a recent study published in the Experimental Gerontology journal, researchers in the United States assessed the impact of time-restricted eating (TRE) on Alzheimer's disease (AD), cognitive decline, and sleep.

Rice bioengineer receives support for brain cancer research

Kevin McHugh, an assistant professor of bioengineering at Rice University's George R. Brown School of Engineering, has earned a Distinguished Scientist Award for 2022 from The Sontag Foundation, which helps launch the careers of scientists expected to make a significant impact in the fight against brain cancer.

Tumor matrix profiles determine the risk and prognosis of a common type of lung cancer

Scientists at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have identified molecular profiles of the surrounding matrix of a common type of lung cancer that might indicate which patients are likely to develop aggressive tumors.

Combination of ultrasound and nanobubbles enables the removal of tumors without surgery

A new technology developed at Tel Aviv University makes it possible to destroy cancerous tumors in a targeted manner, via a combination of ultrasound and the injection of nanobubbles into the bloodstream.

Evaluating cell-free DNA-based blood tests for early detection of multiple cancers

Researchers assessed several approaches for a circulating cell-free deoxyribonucleic acid (cfDNA)-based multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test. Defining the clinical limit of detection (LOD) based on circulating tumor allele fraction (cTAF) enables the comparison of different approaches.

CAR T-cell therapy in colorectal cancer

Researchers assessed the efficacy of CAR T-cells in the immunotherapy of colorectal cancer.

Quantifying the risk of surgery‐related aphasia after brain tumor removal

Can surgeons quantify the risk of aphasia when removing a brain tumor? To find out, researchers at Klinikum rechts der Isar of the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are analyzing the brain as a network. In a current study with 60 patients, they already achieved an accuracy rate with three quarters of their predictions.

Study provides a more accurate tool to stratify patients with HER2-positive breast cancer

Patients with a type of breast cancer called HER2-positive are less likely to survive if their initial treatment fails to eradicate the tumor completely and they have high levels of immune cells called tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes in the residual disease.

The role of bacteria in cancer growth

Tumor-associated microbiota is an important component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) across 33 types of human cancer. However, little evidence is available regarding the spatial distribution and localization of these microbes in tumor cells.

Honey improves key measures of health, including blood sugar and cholesterol levels

Researchers look to better understand the impact of honey on mitigating certain cardiometabolic risk factors.

Researchers uncover new therapeutic vulnerability in endocrine therapy-resistant breast cancers

For patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer, development of the so-called Y537S mutation signals that their disease has taken an aggressive course and may become resistant to endocrine therapy.

Study reveals mechanism by which malignant cells shut down anti-cancer immune responses

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has revealed a single protein expressed at high levels by cancer cells across a broad range of malignancies that erects a multifaceted barrier to anti-cancer immune responses in mouse models of cancer and so shields tumors from immune detection and destruction.
