Inflammation identified as a key driver in the earliest stages of lung cancer

By creating high-resolution cellular and molecular visual maps of lung cancer before and during development, researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that the earliest stages of lung cancer may be driven by inflammation, suggesting that targeting proinflammatory pathways could be an early intervention approach.

Studies reveal how hereditary angioedema disrupts the lives of children and families

Two new studies being presented at the 2025 American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting in Orlando shed light on how hereditary angioedema (HAE) – a rare, potentially life-threatening disease which causes unpredictable swelling – profoundly affects the daily lives, emotional wellbeing, and medical experiences of young patients and their caregivers.

Thunderstorms can trigger sharp increases in asthma-related emergency department visits

A new study finds that thunderstorms can trigger sharp increases in asthma-related emergency department (ED) visits, underscoring the importance of storm preparedness for people with asthma. The research is being presented at the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) in Orlando.

Research shows reluctance among obstetricians to refer pregnant patients to allergy specialists

Many pregnant women experience allergies, asthma, or reactions to medications - conditions that can affect both mother and baby if not carefully managed. Yet new research presented at the 2025 American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) Annual Scientific Meeting suggests a reluctance among obstetricians to refer their pregnant patients to allergy specialists, even when a referral could help improve care.

Bowel cancer’s “Big Bang” moment reveals how the disease takes shape

Like the astronomical explosion that kickstarted the universe, bowel cancer has a "Big Bang" moment which determines how it will grow, according to new research from Cancer Research UK and Wellcome Trust-funded scientists.

New approach harnesses tumor's own machinery to produce immune-stimulating molecules

By stimulating cancer cells to produce a molecule that activates a signaling pathway in nearby immune cells, MIT researchers have found a way to force tumors to trigger their own destruction.

Northwestern team develops antibody to expose hidden pancreatic cancer cells

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously hard to treat and often resists the most advanced immunotherapies. Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered a novel explanation for that resistance: Pancreatic tumors use a sugar-based disguise to hide from the immune system.
