Fertility treatments linked to small increases in some cancers

Findings indicate small increases in certain cancers linked to assisted reproduction, though overall cancer incidence aligns with the general female population.

Predicting cancer behavior through splicing fingerprints

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behaviour is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and rearranged before they are turned into the proteins that keep a cell alive.

Study finds cockroach allergy often driven by shared proteins across arthropods

Researchers analyzed molecular sensitization patterns in Polish patients with perennial allergic rhinitis who tested positive for cockroach allergens. They found that most apparent cockroach allergies were driven by cross-reactive proteins shared with mites, seafood, and other arthropods rather than true cockroach-specific allergens.

NUS uncovers NuSAP’s role in centriole stability

Biologists at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how the protein NuSAP safeguards tiny structures inside cells called centrioles, revealing a mechanism linked to developmental disorders such as microcephaly and mosaic variegated aneuploidy (MVA) syndrome.

Lifelong tracking of fish reveals early behavioral signals of aging

Scientists tracking the entire life of the African turquoise killifish have discovered that behavior alone can predict whether an animal will live a long or short life.

New imaging method maps gene activity across entire zebrafish embryo

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development?

Experimental therapy eliminates pancreatic precancerous cells in mice study

A new preclinical study in mice shows that precancerous cells in the pancreas can be eliminated before they have the chance to become tumors.

Study identifies immune cells and RANK protein as fertility regulators

The kick off signal for puberty begins in the brain. Specifically, in the hypothalamus, where specific neurons release a hormone that activates the hypophysis, at the base of the skull, which then releases other hormones to start gonad –ovaries or testicles –maturation.

Innovative microscopic capsules overcome long-standing limitations in single-cell research

Researchers have developed a capsule-based method that makes it possible to analyse the same cell through multiple experimental steps.

International urology conference showcases advancements in prostate cancer diagnostics

Nearly 300 abstracts on prostate cancer research from around the world will be presented at the European Association of Urology Congress (EAU26), taking place in London from 13–16 March 2026.

Does coffee disrupt sleep? Large population study suggests the impact may be minimal

A large cross-sectional analysis of 25,381 Swedish adults aged 50–64 found that habitual coffee consumption showed only very weak associations with sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. Genetic analyses confirmed known coffee-related variants and suggested that long-term caffeine exposure may lead to adaptation in the brain’s adenosine signaling system.

Blood test marker p-tau217 helps detect early dementia risk in cognitively healthy older women

A long-term study of 2,766 women in the Women’s Health Initiative Memory Study found that higher baseline plasma p-tau217 levels were associated with a greater risk of developing mild cognitive impairment or probable dementia.

Review explores how generative AI could support precision oncology decision-making

A narrative review examines how generative AI tools such as large language models and vision-language models could assist precision oncology by interpreting genomic data, matching patients to clinical trials, and synthesizing complex clinical information. The authors emphasize governance, human oversight, and retrieval-based safeguards to ensure these systems are deployed safely in cancer care.

Simplified nanoparticles "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells

Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed a simplified version of biodegradable nanoparticles that can "educate" the immune system to find and destroy disease-causing cells throughout the body.

Dual-positive hybrid cells linked to shorter survival in advanced breast cancer

An enigmatic type of circulating tumor cell called a dual-positive (DP) cell is associated with shorter survival time in patients with advanced breast cancer, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian.

Detailed APOL1 gene analysis in Black patients improves kidney disease diagnosis

A closer examination of the APOL1 gene in Black patients with kidney disease can provide more accurate diagnoses than current protocols, a new study from researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons has found.

Disrupting protein production in tumors triggers potent immune responses

A new study led by Pierre Close's team (GIGA, Laboratory of Cancer Signaling, and WELRI Investigator) reveals how subtly disrupting the way tumors produce their proteins can trigger a potent antitumor immune response.
