Cancer

Cancer refers to a group of more than a hundred diseases that can originate in many different parts of the body. Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body.

Metabolic Flexibility in Cancer: How Diet and Nutrition Shape Tumor Survival and Resistance

Cancer cells survive therapy by dynamically rewiring their metabolism in response to nutrient availability, microenvironmental stress, and therapeutic pressure. This article explains how dietary interventions may exploit metabolic flexibility and plasticity to enhance treatment response while accounting for tumor heterogeneity.

Study explains how leukemia creates inflammatory lung environments

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) does more than infiltrate the lungs: it also transforms lung tissue to create an inflammatory environment that promotes the expansion of tumor cells and impairs respiratory function.

Highly-sensitive blood test detects hidden traces of pancreatic cancer

Northwestern Medicine scientists have demonstrated that a highly sensitive blood test can detect traces of pancreatic cancer missed by standard testing, potentially helping physicians identify patients whose disease is more likely to return even when scans appear reassuring.

Review links iron-dependent cell death to pathogenesis of Friedreich's Ataxia

Published in the open-access journal Ferroptosis and Oxidative Stress, the review by Giovanni Cravin and Giorgio Cozza from the University of Padua examines the growing evidence linking ferroptosis to the pathogenesis of Friedreich's Ataxia (FRDA), a rare inherited neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive neurological decline, cardiomyopathy, and premature mortality.

Genetic research links KDF1 mutation to impaired dental epithelial organization

Dental enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, protecting teeth from wear, temperature changes, and decay. However, enamel cannot regenerate once damaged. Inherited disorders, such as amelogenesis imperfecta, disrupt enamel formation during development, leaving affected individuals with fragile, discolored, and decay-prone teeth.
