 Scientists map blood chemistry links to hundreds of diseasesScientists map blood chemistry links to hundreds of diseases
 
A UK Biobank study of nearly 390,000 people mapped 251 NMR-derived plasma metabolic traits against hundreds of health traits, prevalent diseases, and future disease outcomes. The atlas revealed tens of thousands of replicated associations, showed stronger prediction for selected short-term and cardiometabolic outcomes, and identified putative causal links that may guide future precision medicine research.
 
 
 Blood metabolites reveal lifestyle links to brain health before dementiaBlood metabolites reveal lifestyle links to brain health before dementia
 
Blood metabolome profiling in dementia-free middle-aged adults linked 14 metabolites to cognition and 22 metabolites to MRI markers of brain health. Lifestyle, clinical factors, medication use and gut microbiota appeared to shape many of these metabolites, with ergothioneine emerging as a notable cognition-linked signal.
 
   Aging immune cells may explain why autoimmunity rises later in lifeAging immune cells may explain why autoimmunity rises later in life
 
A new Review reveals how aging can push the immune system into a paradoxical state, weaker against threats yet more prone to attacking the body’s own tissues.
 
   New method generates renewable supply of progenitor immune cellsNew method generates renewable supply of progenitor immune cells
 
In a paper published in Cell, a USC Stem Cell-led team reports a new way of generating a renewable and expandable supply of the progenitor cells that give rise to macrophages.
 
   Study discovers epigenetic mechanism protecting tooth progenitor cells from stressStudy discovers epigenetic mechanism protecting tooth progenitor cells from stress
 
An epigenetic "mechanostat" has been discovered that protects tooth-forming progenitor cells from mechanical stress and supports lifelong tissue renewal.

UCLA researcher receives grant for advanced osteosarcoma immunotherapyPhysician-scientist Theodore Scott Nowicki, MD, PhD, an assistant professor in the department of pediatrics hematology/oncology and microbiology, immunology, & molecular genetics at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, has been awarded the Hero Grant from MIB Agents, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving outcomes for children and young adults with osteosarcoma.
 
 
 Trial identifies 4 grams a day as the tested safe level for L-tyrosine in healthy men
 
Trial identifies 4 grams a day as the tested safe level for L-tyrosine in healthy menA randomized, crossover trial in healthy adult men found that 4 weeks of L-tyrosine supplementation at doses up to 4 g/day did not cause clinically meaningful changes in safety markers, diet, blood pressure, or body measures. The highest tested dose, 4 g/day, was identified as the no-observed-adverse-effect level under the study’s four-week conditions, although broader and longer-term studies are still needed.
 
 
 Microbes trigger cell death to boost cancer immunotherapy effectiveness
 
Microbes trigger cell death to boost cancer immunotherapy effectivenessTraditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiotherapy can induce immunogenic cell death (ICD), but their efficacy is often limited by drug resistance, severe off-target toxicity, and immune-related adverse events.

Hyperemesis gravidarum increases risks for pregnancy and birth complicationsPregnant women with a severe form of nausea face increased risks for several pregnancy and birth complications, according to a new Stanford Medicine study of 2.5 million California births.
 
 
 Study identifies fPRDM16 as target for age-related pulmonary fibrosis
 
Study identifies fPRDM16 as target for age-related pulmonary fibrosisA study published recently in Current Molecular Pharmacology has uncovered a key mechanism linking aging to persistent pulmonary fibrosis, identifying the transcriptional regulator fPRDM16 as a potential therapeutic target.
 
 
 Reversing macrophage metabolism may improve cancer immunotherapy outcomes
 
Reversing macrophage metabolism may improve cancer immunotherapy outcomesTumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are among the most abundant immune cells in the tumor microenvironment.
 
 
 Gene fusion patterns refine classification of rare acute leukemias
 
Gene fusion patterns refine classification of rare acute leukemiasAcute leukemias with chimeric fusion genes involving FET (FUS, EWSR1, and TAF15) family proteins and ETS (E26 transformation-specific)-like transcription factors often present with unique clinical and pathological characteristics.
 
 
 Imaging scans detect prostate cancer progression despite stable PSA levels
 
Patients with advanced prostate cancer may need periodic imaging scans to catch tumor growth even with stable levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein in the blood that doctors routinely monitor for cancer progression, according to an analysis led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Duke University.
 
 
 Artificial intelligence improves prediction of cancer drug resistance
 
A comprehensive review recently published in Current Molecular Pharmacology (2026, Volume 19, Pages 85–96) examines the rapidly evolving landscape of computational tools for predicting tumour drug resistance.
 
 
 Engineered CAR T cells show promise against myeloproliferative neoplasms
 
A new form of CAR T cell therapy has been designed to find and destroy the cancer-driving stem cells responsible for a group of blood cancers known as myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs), while leaving healthy blood cells unharmed, in new research led by UCL and University of Oxford researchers.
 
 
 AI-driven approach identifies promising new target for CAR T cell therapy
 
Leading CAR T cell therapy researchers have developed a human-in-the-loop artificial intelligence (AI) framework that firmly centers scientists' expertise to find viable target antigens for CAR T cell therapy.
 
 
 Study reveals how leukemia cells invade lungs and cause breathing problems
 
Led by NYU Langone Health researchers, a new study shows how blood cancer cells enter the lungs, damage tissue, and cause severe breathing problems.
 
 
 Unusual CD34+ dysplastic giant platelets complicate myelodysplastic syndrome diagnosis
 
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of hematopoietic disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis, with manifestations of cytopenias in one, two, or three lineages.
 
 
 Simple donor message could expand stem cell transplant options
 
When a patient needs a stem cell transplant, finding a registered donor is only the first step. Some potential donors drop out before confirmatory typing, reducing the pool from which doctors can choose.
