Proton therapy dose escalation may improve outcomes for glioblastoma patients

Previously, results from the photon cohort of the NRG-BN001, a signal seeking Phase II randomized trial, indicated that photon radiation dose intensification (75 Gy) did not demonstrate improvement in overall survival (OS) for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).

New 'GLed' tool enables real-time monitoring of T cell activity

The new 'GLed' tool, unique in its reversibility, allows the functional state of T cells to be observed for the first time, representing a crucial advance in personalizing treatments in immunotherapy, transplants, and autoimmune diseases.

Study shows prediabetes remission does not always require weight loss

Remission of prediabetes can occur even without weight loss, protecting against type 2 diabetes in up to 22% of individuals. Metabolic improvements, healthier fat distribution, and enhanced β-cell function, not body weight change, drive this benefit.

Digital tools and chatbots can expand genetic counseling for young cancer survivors

A groundbreaking new study from the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology aims to test whether digital tools and chatbot technology can help young adult cancer survivors get the genetic counseling they need to better understand future health risks to themselves and family members.

New data analysis method accelerates design of safer covalent inhibitors

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have developed a powerful new data analysis method named COOKIE-Pro (Covalent Occupancy Kinetic Enrichment via Proteomics) that provides a comprehensive, unbiased view of how a class of drugs, called covalent inhibitors, interacts with proteins throughout the cell.

Olive oil intake is linked to lower belly fat and healthier weight

Regular consumption of extra-virgin olive oil was associated with lower BMI and waist circumference in a study of more than 16,000 adults. EVOO also mediated over 60% of the Mediterranean diet’s impact on central obesity while showing an independent association with waist circumference.

Stereotactic radiotherapy offers long-term survival outcomes comparable to surgery for NSCLC patients

A new clinical trial report finds that stereotactic radiation therapy offers long-term survival outcomes comparable to surgery for patients with small, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients in the study who received radiation also reported fewer side effects after treatment.

Discovery of EUDAL reveals new mechanism behind chemotherapy resistance in oral cancer

Oral cancer is one of the most common head and neck cancers worldwide, with hundreds of thousands of new cases diagnosed every year. Despite advances in surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, survival rates remain poor.

Tagomics publishes a new approach to genome-wide epigenomic profiling

Tagomics Ltd., a pioneering biomarker discovery and diagnostics company, today announced the publication of a peer-reviewed study in Cell Reports Methods, underpinning its epigenomic profiling technology, Active-Seq, the basis of Tagomics' Activace™ platform.

Proton therapy offers no significant QOL advantage over photon therapy for breast cancer

The first randomized trial to compare photon- and proton-based radiation therapy for breast cancer finds that patients report equally strong health-related quality of life with either treatment. Patients who received proton therapy were more likely to say they would recommend or choose it again, but overall patient-reported outcomes were similar.

Tissue-mimicking hydrogels drive cell reprogramming via matrix remodeling

The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, which are closely associated with various diseases including neurodegenerative diseases and cancers.

Scientists test whether chaya leaves can lower blood sugar in diabetes

Researchers reviewed current evidence on the chaya plant (Cnidoscolus chayamansa), highlighting its nutritional profile, hypoglycemic activity in animal models, and potential as a complementary aid for diabetes management. While promising, safety, dosage, and interaction studies remain essential before clinical use.

Radiation therapy shows promise as safer alternative for severe heart rhythm disorder

Radiation therapy may offer a comparable and potentially safer alternative to repeat catheter ablation for patients with severe abnormal heart rhythms that can no longer be controlled with medication.

Five-session SBRT reduces side effects in intermediate-risk prostate cancer

For patients with intermediate-risk, localized prostate cancer, radiation therapy delivered in five sessions reduced patient-reported side effects compared to longer courses of radiation, according to results of a large, randomized phase III trial.

Post-operative radiation therapy reduces pelvic relapse in high-risk bladder cancer

Radiation therapy could be an underused tool to reduce pelvic relapse risk for patients with locally advanced, muscle-invasive bladder cancer, according to results of a new phase III randomized trial.

New TOR inhibitor rapalink-1 prolongs chronological lifespan in fission yeast

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London's School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences, using the simple fission yeast as a model, have shown that new TOR inhibitor rapalink-1 prolongs chronological lifespan.

Proton therapy and IMRT show similar outcomes in head and neck cancer trial

A new phase III clinical trial finds that intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton beam therapy resulted in similar quality-of-life outcomes and low rates of side effects for people with locally advanced oropharyngeal cancer.

Genetic variant linked to liver injury after chemotherapy in colorectal cancer patients

A new international study led by Mayo Clinic researchers has identified a genetic factor that may explain why some patients with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver experience more severe liver damage after chemotherapy.

Herd immunity from HPV vaccine provides protection even for unvaccinated women

A large, long-term study led by an Albert Einstein College of Medicine researcher has found that the introduction of the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in community settings is highly effective in protecting young women from infections caused by the cervical-cancer-causing virus-including women who didn't even receive the vaccine.

Breakthrough discovery reveals HIV’s survival strategy in human cells

For over three decades, HIV has played an elaborate game of hide-and-seek with researchers, making treating-and possibly even curing-the disease a seemingly insurmountable obstacle to achieve.
