Selective androgen receptor modulator has anti-tumor effects in ER-positive breast cancer patients

A research paper published today (8 February 2024) in The Lancet Oncology demonstrates that the drug enobosarm, a selective androgen receptor modulator which stimulates the male sex hormone receptor has anti-tumour effects in estrogen receptor positive breast cancer patients.

New mouse model illuminates lung cancer's transformation into aggressive variant

Lung tumors called adenocarcinomas sometimes respond to initially effective treatments by transforming into a much more aggressive small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that spreads rapidly and has few options for treatment.

8 Feb 2024

Study shines light on partial endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition in the tumor microenvironment

Endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndoMT, also termed as EndMT), a biological process resulting in the formation of mesenchymal (or lineage-committed) phenotypes from endothelial cells (lining blood vessels), plays a crucial role in tumor progression.

The effectiveness of statins in PCOS management

The application of statins in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Are younger women experiencing a higher incidence of breast cancer?

Researchers evaluated the incidence of breast cancer among young women between the ages of 20 and 49 years. They assessed the incidence according to age at diagnosis, tumor stage, estrogen and progesterone hormone receptor status, and race and ethnicity.

Growing meat with built-in growth factors cuts costs

Cellular agriculture – the production of meat from cells grown in bioreactors rather than harvested from farm animals – is taking leaps in technology that are making it a more viable option for the food industry.

27 Jan 2024

Plant-based protein emerges as champion for healthy aging in women

Women who consume higher amounts of protein, especially protein from plant-based sources, develop fewer chronic diseases and are more likely to be healthier overall as they age, according to a study led by researchers at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University and published Jan. 17 in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
