New Lancet series blends social science with medicine to tackle global health inequities

Can doctors in California learn from a patient who was bounced from one specialist to another in Japan? Can clinicians in London take lessons from a patient seeking asylum while suffering a medical emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border? Can doctors treating refugees in Africa inform health policy around the world?

New atomic structure reveals how NBCn1 transporter protein aids breast cancer cell survival

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps explain how these tumors resist environmental stress and thrive in acidic, low-oxygen environments that would normally be toxic to healthy cells.

Breakthrough in imaging speed moves portable stroke diagnosis closer to reality

When someone walks into an emergency room with symptoms of a stroke, every second matters. But today, diagnosing the type of stroke, the life-or-death distinction between a clot and a bleed, requires large, stationary machines like CT scanners that may not be available everywhere.

Chronic kidney disease accelerates cognitive decline through heart-brain pathways

A new study published in the American Journal of Physiology - Heart and Circulatory Physiology reveals that chronic kidney disease (CKD) accelerates cognitive decline through interconnected damage to the heart and brain-and that these pathways differ markedly between men and women.

Long-term air pollution exposure linked to more advanced coronary artery disease

Long-term exposure to common air pollutants is associated with more advanced coronary artery disease-with notable differences between women and men-according to a large-scale study of more than 11,000 adults being presented today at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Organ-on-a-chip system reveals how aging weakens vaccine-driven anti-cancer immunity

Dr. Vadim Jucaud's lab at the Terasaki Institute has introduced a new organ-on-a-chip platform that recapitulates age-dependent immune responses, offering a more accurate testing bed for evaluating cancer vaccine performance in older adults, the population most affected by cancer and often overlooked in traditional preclinical testing.

Common water pill may be a useful add‑on to the standard HIV treatment

An FDA‑approved medication called spironolactone, often prescribed as a diuretic, or water pill, for heart and blood pressure conditions, may be a useful add‑on to the standard HIV treatment, according to new research from the Valente lab at The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology.

Protein tied to ALS and dementia plays a role in regulating DNA mismatch repair

New Houston Methodist research has revealed that a protein associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) also plays a role in regulating DNA mismatch repair, a process essential for replicating genetic information and cell health.

AR3-based optogenetic strategy shows high efficacy in inducing apoptosis and antitumor effects

One of the hallmarks of cancer cells is their ability to evade apoptosis, or programmed cell death, through changes in protein expression.

Generative AI aids discovery of ISM3830's novel scaffold

Casitas B-lineage lymphoma-b (CBLB) is an E3 ubiquitin–protein ligase that functions as an intracellular checkpoint and master negative regulator of T‑cell and natural killer (NK) cell activation, playing a central role in modulating T-cell activation and immune tolerance, and its inhibition enhances T cells and NK cells function, also provides a strategy for the function restoration of exhausted T cells.

Study links endocrine-disrupting chemicals to hidradenitis suppurativa

A Johns Hopkins Medicine study involving a dozen people with the inflammatory skin disease hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), which mostly affects skin folds, is believed to be the first to provide evidence that hormone-disrupting chemicals commonly found in ultra-processed food and single-use water bottles may contribute to the development of or worsen the condition in some people.
