New human tissue chips aim to replace animal testing

Animal testing has long been the standard for evaluating new drugs before they reach human patients. But when it comes to cancer immunotherapy drugs, animal models often fail to predict which immunotherapies might produce harmful side effects in humans because they do not have the same responses or the same cell receptors.

One cognitive ability stood out in a study of Western diets and Alzheimer’s risk genes

A Western dietary pattern was associated with faster attention decline among older adults carrying the APOE ε4 allele, while no significant cognitive associations emerged for a Prudent dietary pattern. However, the Western diet association lost statistical significance after excluding participants with possible baseline cognitive impairment, making the finding exploratory.

Study uses alternative splicing data to predict protein function

A single human gene can produce multiple protein isoforms through alternative splicing, greatly expanding the functional diversity of the proteome.

Study links delayed Ewing sarcoma growth to reduced Trk and IGF1R pathway markers

A new research paper was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on August 7, 2026, titled "Delayed growth of SK-ES-1 Ewing sarcoma tumor xenografts is associated with reduced Trk and IGF1R pathway markers."

Scientists create single-cell atlas of spinal neurons involved in motor coordination

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital created a single-cell atlas of a key class of spinal neurons involved in motor coordination. From that resource, they identified a small subgroup of interneurons associated with the speed of rhythmic movements such as walking.

Traditional prostate cancer features fail to predict hormone therapy benefit

A new study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that while traditional pathological features used to classify aggressive prostate cancer -such as high-grade disease, cancer extending outside the prostate and cancer involving the seminal vesicles- after surgery can help identify patients who are more likely to have worse outcomes, they do not predict who will benefit more from adding hormone therapy to postoperative radiation.

New partnership expands patient access to cancer clinical trials

The University of Chicago Medicine Comprehensive Cancer Center (UCCCC) and Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly) have partnered to help patients gain greater access to potential cancer treatments by participating in clinical trials.

New study uncovers metabolic vulnerability in high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Cancer Center have identified a previously unknown metabolic weakness in the stem cells that drive high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a discovery that could lead to more targeted treatments for this aggressive blood cancer.

Natural hormone activates brain-to-liver signaling pathway to suppress liver inflammation

Researchers at McMaster University have discovered that a naturally occurring hormone best known for suppressing appetite and promoting weight loss also helps protect the liver from inflammation through a previously unknown signalling pathway, opening new possibilities for treating advanced fatty liver disease.

New gene signature predicts immunotherapy success for bone marrow cancers

A team led by researchers from the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), the HI-STEM Stem Cell Institute, and Medical Clinic V at Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD) has characterized T cells in the bone marrow in cases of multiple myeloma and acute myeloid leukemia: A specific group of tumor-reactive T cells can recognize and, in principle, fight cancer cells, but is often not sufficiently activated.
