Small molecule AVJ16 shows promise in targeting lung cancer growth

Researchers have discovered a promising new approach to lung cancer treatment. A small molecule called AVJ16 selectively blocks the cancer-driving protein IGF2BP1, halting tumor growth in preclinical studies and killing cancer cells in patient-derived models—while leaving healthy cells unharmed.

AI tool accurately distinguishes between glioblastoma and primary central nervous system lymphoma

A Harvard Medical School–led research team has developed an AI tool that can reliably tell apart two look-alike cancers found in the brain but with different origins, behaviors, and treatments.

In hepatitis B vaccine debate, CDC panel sidesteps key exposure risk

The Trump administration is continuing its push to revise federal guidelines to delay the hepatitis B vaccine newborn dose for most children.

Super-resolution imaging unlocks the role of transporter nanoclusters in tumor metabolism

Serine serves as a metabolic nexus in tumors, coordinating one-carbon metabolism, nucleotide synthesis, and redox regulation. In recent years, targeting the serine metabolic pathway, particularly the rate-limiting enzyme PHGDH, has attracted considerable attention as a promising anticancer strategy.

Precision probiotics lower blood sugar and cholesterol in mice

Researchers developed a precision probiotic cocktail comprising three Lactobacillus strains that improved glucose control, reduced weight gain, and lowered cholesterol levels in mice fed a high-fat diet. Metabolomic and microbiome analyses revealed host metabolic adaptations and beneficial shifts in gut bacteria, highlighting translational potential for future clinical trials.

Can roselle help fight inflammation? New review suggests strong potential

A new review highlights the anti-inflammatory potential of Hibiscus sabdariffa (roselle), synthesizing evidence from 25 studies published between 2019 and 2024. Most findings are from preclinical models, but they point to promising roles in cardiovascular, metabolic, neuroprotective, and anticancer health.
