Indian adapted Mediterranean diet targets inflammation in heart disease trial

The paper describes a single-center randomized controlled trial testing whether an Indian Adapted Mediterranean Diet can reduce dietary inflammation in adults with stable coronary artery disease or moderate-to-high cardiovascular risk. The protocol will assess changes in the Dietary Inflammatory Index, inflammatory biomarkers, cardiometabolic risk factors, body measurements, and metabolic hormones over six months.

Novel RNA modification mechanism drives metabolic fatty liver disease progression

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a prevalent metabolic disorder with a complex pathogenesis. Although epitranscriptomic modifications such as N6-methyladenosine (m6A) have been implicated in NAFLD, the role of N1-methyladenosine (m1A) and its regulators is largely unexplored.

New peptide triggers domino effect to suppress bladder cancer

Recently, a research team led by Professors Dahong Zhang and Qi Zhang from the Urology Department and the Institute of Urology at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital and the Translational Medicine Center discovered that a bladder tumor-targeting polyarginine peptide, R11, can directly bind to actin, destabilize the G-actin tetramer, and trigger the cascade breakdown of the actin-plectin-vimentin/ITGβ4 axis (referred to as the "cytoskeletal domino effect").

Outdoor running combats winter vitamin D deficiency better than supplements

An EHU study says that vitamin D supplements can help to strengthen the immune system, but not to improve athletic performance.

Ferroptosis exploits unique cancer metabolic vulnerabilities to bypass traditional apoptotic evasion pathways

A new wave of scientific understanding is placing ferroptosis, a distinct form of iron-dependent cell death, at the forefront of efforts to overcome drug resistance in digestive cancers. These cancers, which include gastric, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, and esophageal malignancies, remain among the most challenging to treat due to their ability to evade standard therapies.

Metabolic reprogramming helps tumor cells adapt and evade the human immune system

A newly published review article highlights the critical role of fatty acid metabolism in shaping the tumor microenvironment and influencing cancer progression, offering fresh perspectives for the development of more effective therapies.

Sting signaling stimulates vital immune defenses to actively suppress aggressive tumor growth

A new review brings attention to the STING pathway as a critical regulator in both colitis and colon cancer, highlighting its complex and often opposing roles in inflammation and tumor development. The findings underscore how this key component of the innate immune system can act as both a driver of disease and a protective mechanism, depending on biological context.

New review highlights how glutamine metabolism shapes the complex tumor microenvironment

A new review article highlights the expanding importance of glutamine metabolism in shaping the tumor microenvironment, offering fresh perspectives on how metabolic interactions influence cancer progression and therapeutic response

Scientists reveal why common pancreatic precancer lesions rarely turn deadly

Spatial and single-cell analyses of human donor pancreata showed that PanIN epithelial cells gradually acquire cancer-like molecular features, while their surrounding stromal and immune environment remains closer to normal pancreatic tissue. The findings suggest that delayed or incomplete microenvironmental reprogramming may help explain why most PanIN lesions remain indolent rather than progressing to pancreatic cancer.

New advances improve prevention and treatment of HPV-related cancers

A new review article is drawing attention to the growing global impact of human papillomavirus (HPV) and the rapid progress in vaccines and therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing the burden of cervical and non-cervical cancers.
