Researchers discover the enzyme responsible for chromothripsis in cancer

University of California San Diego researchers have discovered the enzyme responsible for chromothripsis, a process in which a single chromosome is shattered into pieces and rearranged in a scrambled order, allowing cancer cells to rapidly evolve and become resistant to treatment.

Preoperative radiation may enhance treatment response in patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer

Preoperative radiation improved T-cell infiltration (TCI) in patients with hormone receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative breast cancer when administered in combination with pembrolizumab (Keytruda) and chemotherapy and led to improved treatment responses prior to surgery, according to the results of the phase II P-RAD clinical trial presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), held December 9-12, 2025.

Skipping sentinel lymph node biopsy may be safe for some early-stage breast cancer patients

Skipping sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) in patients with clinically node-negative, hormonal receptor (HR)-positive, HER2-negative early-stage breast cancer did not compromise regional control or survival after a median five years of follow-up, according to results from the BOOG 2013-08 phase III clinical trial, presented at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS), held December 9-12, 2025.

Cuffless blood pressure devices show great promise as alternatives to traditional arm-cuff monitors

Cuffless devices to measure blood pressure, such as smartwatches, rings, patches and fingertip monitors, show great promise as alternatives to traditional arm-cuff monitors, however, they are not yet proven accurate enough to diagnose high blood pressure or guide treatment decisions, according to a new scientific statement published today in the American Heart Association's journal Hypertension.

Researchers identify a distinct immuno-inflammatory biomarker across major psychiatric disorders

Individuals with psychiatric disorders exhibiting seemingly similar symptoms often respond very differently to the same treatment, suggesting that distinct biological processes are at work beneath the surface of similar clinical presentations.

Missing piece of myelin results in slower, less consistent signal transmission to the brain

Our nerve cells are surrounded by a protective layer (myelin). This protective layer allows signals to pass between cells incredibly quickly.

What happens to your body during an ultramarathon? New study reveals key metabolic changes

This study tracked ultramarathon runners across 100 km, 160.9 km, and 230 km events to examine real-world metabolic, hormonal, and muscle stress responses. Severe energy deficits, muscle damage, and heterogeneous hormonal shifts were observed, with the greatest strain seen in the 230 km distance.

Driving simulator exposes early Parkinson’s impairments that routine tests fail to detect

A high-fidelity driving simulator detected subtle visuospatial, attentional, and reaction time impairments in people with mild to moderate Parkinson’s disease, even when standard cognitive tests appeared normal. The study shows that simulator-based assessments can uncover real-world driving difficulties linked to disease severity that traditional screening tools often miss.

How much omega-3 do you need daily? New global review reveals DHA and EPA requirements

Global and national guidelines for long-chain omega-3 intake vary widely across life stages, with many countries lacking clear recommendations. Most authorities advise at least 250 mg/day of EPA and DHA, yet population intakes remain far below optimal levels.
