Dual-targeted therapy shows promise against metastatic triple-negative breast cancer

A new preclinical study suggests that attacking triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) in two ways at once can kill cancer cells, slow tumor growth and limit the cancer's spread. Researchers at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James) developed the approach.

Scientists studied one million immune cells and found clues to future disease risk

Researchers developed a single-cell atlas of one million human neutrophils, identifying distinct immune cell populations and gene-expression patterns across tissues, infections, cancer, and other health conditions. Certain neutrophil signatures were associated with metabolic dysfunction, cancer outcomes, and mortality, while higher routine neutrophil counts, even within the normal range, were linked to an increased risk of chronic disease.

Research shows how the brain merges faces and voices to read emotions

Communicating effectively with others involves recognizing emotions from faces and voices. How does the brain process and integrate emotional information from visuals and sounds that others display? New in JNeurosci, Olivier Collignon, from the Catholic University of Louvain, Stefania Mattioni, currently at Ghent University, and colleagues mapped responses in people's brains to faces and voices expressing different emotions.
