Researchers develop method to generate billions of cDC1 immune cells

Conventional type 1 dendritic cells, known as cDC1 cells, are immune cells that help initiate responses against intracellular pathogens and tumors.

Targeting EGFR signaling to reduce mucus overproduction in lung diseases

Airway mucus is part of innate lung defense, but when production overwhelms clearance, it obstructs airflow and worsens disease.

Excessive exercise disrupts dopamine regulation in the brain, study finds

Excessive physical exercise affects more than just the muscles; it can also alter brain chemistry. A new study published in the journal Neuroscience revealed that exhaustive training without adequate rest alters the regulation of dopamine in the hippocampus, a brain region closely linked to memory and the regulation of emotions.

Targeted drug combination extends survival in advanced kidney cancer

Results of a phase 1/2 trial led by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center show that combining the targeted therapies bevacizumab (Avastin) and pazopanib (Votrient) significantly extends both progression-free and overall survival in patients with the most common type of kidney cancer.

Breakthrough targeted therapy shows strong precision in treating chronic myeloid leukemia

A more effective and better-tolerated treatment for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) could improve quality of life for people living with the disease.

Nuclear enzyme discovery unlocks new paths to combat breast cancer

One of the major challenges in the treatment of the most common subtype of breast cancer (hormone receptor positive, HR+) is the emergence of resistance.

EGFR co-targeting and nanotechnology offer new triple-negative breast cancer therapies

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains one of the most challenging forms of breast cancer to treat because it lacks the estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptors that enable targeted treatment in other breast cancer subtypes.

Zidesamtinib shows strong activity in TKI-naive ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer

New results from the global Phase I/II ARROS-1 trial showed clinically meaningful activity with zidesamtinib in patients with advanced or metastatic ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had not previously received a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI).

Rentosertib shifts multiple proteomic aging clocks toward younger age profiles in IPF trial

Researchers applied six proteomic aging clocks to serum samples from a phase 2a trial of rentosertib in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and found treatment-associated shifts toward younger predicted biological-age profiles, particularly with the 30 mg twice-daily regimen. Additional proteomic analyses linked treatment to changes in senescence, metabolism, growth-factor signaling, and fibrosis-related pathways, although the study could not determine whether these effects reflected genuine geroprotection rather than disease modification.

Two collagen receptors cooperate to enhance cranial bone regeneration

Bone repair depends on skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs) moving to injured areas and developing into bone-forming cells, but how these cells respond to their surroundings remains unclear.

Could one amino acid help explain why men tend to live shorter lives?

A UK Biobank cohort and Mendelian randomization study involving 272,475 participants linked higher circulating tyrosine with greater all-cause mortality and genetically predicted higher tyrosine with shorter lifespan. After accounting for phenylalanine, the relationship with shorter lifespan was clearest in men, while findings in women were less consistent, suggesting a potential sex-specific role for tyrosine in longevity.

Study links delayed Ewing sarcoma growth to reduced Trk and IGF1R pathway markers

A new research paper was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on August 7, 2026, titled "Delayed growth of SK-ES-1 Ewing sarcoma tumor xenografts is associated with reduced Trk and IGF1R pathway markers."

Restricting select amino acids may mimic protein restriction’s healthy aging benefits

A review finds that restricting protein, particularly methionine, isoleucine, and valine, may improve metabolism and influence key aging pathways, largely in experimental models. Short human studies suggest metabolic benefits, but effects on lifespan remain unknown and restriction may harm people with unmet or increased protein needs.

Blocking the Axl receptor may offer a new way to promote bone formation

Osteoporosis is one of the most common age-related bone diseases, affecting millions of people worldwide and increasing the risk of fractures, disability, and reduced quality of life.

Plant-based diets reshape gut microbes to boost healthy metabolites

Plant-based diets are good for you. They promote gut, immune, metabolic and cardiovascular health, in part by cultivating a diverse community of intestinal bacteria.

Rare BTK mutation drives resistance to targeted therapies for blood cancer

Scientists at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, and collaborators have uncovered a rare genetic mutation that enables some blood cancers to evade both approved Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors and newer BTK degraders, a finding that could help shape the next generation of therapies for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and related malignancies.

Two interconnected signaling pathways drive papillary thyroid carcinoma progression

A new research perspective was published in Volume 13 of Oncoscience on June 3, 2026, titled "The dual axis of tumorigenesis: MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways in papillary thyroid carcinoma."

Oral microbiome imbalances may contribute to symptomatic hand arthritis

Specific imbalances and disruptions to the oral microbiome have been linked to symptomatic hand arthritis by a study published online in the open access journal RMD Open.

Researchers rank 11 preeclampsia therapies as top candidates for further development

Researchers ranked 83 preclinical candidates for preventing or treating preeclampsia and eclampsia, identifying 11 as having high potential for further development. The analysis also revealed limited target diversity, moderate bias, inactive programs, and animal models that may not fully represent human pregnancy

Researchers develop novel strategy to selectively target tumor microenvironments

A new collaborative study reports the discovery and application of a novel therapeutic strategy to selectively target EGFR and other kinases with controlled release in tumor microenvironments to improve therapeutic efficacy, with promising results.
