Eating more pulses and vegetables lowers stress by boosting beneficial gut bacteria, study finds

Higher diet quality, especially with more pulses and vegetables, was linked to greater Lachnospira abundance in the gut and lower stress scores among Japanese adults. The relationship appears to be mediated by specific gut bacteria rather than a direct effect of diet on stress.

AI model diagnoses lung cancer using just a laptop

Imagine diagnosing cancer not with a supercomputer but on an ordinary laptop instead. Sounds like science fiction? Thanks to a revolutionary artificial intelligence (AI) model developed by Professor Kenji Suzuki and his research team from Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo), this far-fetched scenario is now a reality.

Tumor profiling study advances personalized cancer treatment

Every tumor is unique. This makes it difficult to find the most effective therapy for treatment. The Tumor Profiler Center of the University Hospital Zurich, the University of Zurich, ETH Zurich and the University Hospital Basel has now carried out a study in which nine different molecular biological technologies were used to precisely measure the properties of the tumor in four weeks and enable a precise treatment decision.

Loss of Y chromosome in male immune cells linked to poorer cancer outcomes

A study initiated by a University of Arizona Comprehensive Cancer Center physician-scientist defined for the first time how loss of the Y chromosome in male immune cells negatively affects immune system function, which may explain why loss of Y is associated with lower cancer survival rates.
