Preoperative MRI offers no survival benefit for early-stage breast cancer patients

Patients with stage 1 or 2, hormone receptor (HR)-negative breast cancer had similar five-year rates of locoregional recurrence whether or not they underwent preoperative breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in addition to diagnostic mammography to determine the extent of their cancer, according to results from the phase III Alliance A011104/ACRIN 6694 clinical trial presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), held December 9-12, 2025.

AI turns routine pathology slides into powerful maps of the tumor immune landscape

A large study shows that routine H&E pathology slides contain rich spatial proteomic signals that can be decoded by AI to model the tumor immune microenvironment at population scale. By generating virtual multiplex immunofluorescence images, GigaTIME enables pan-cancer discovery of immune patterns linked to invasion stage, survival, and genomic alterations.

Nanoflower-treated stem cells deliver healthier mitochondria to stressed cells

This study shows that vacancy-engineered MoS₂ nanoflowers drive mitochondrial biogenesis in human mesenchymal stem cells by activating SIRT1–PGC-1α signaling and reducing oxidative stress. These treated cells transfer more functional mitochondria to injured recipient cells, restoring energy metabolism and redox balance in multiple in vitro models.
