Research indicates statins could enhance breast cancer prognosis, with lipophilic statins showing greater protective effects against mortality and recurrence.
 
 
 Cancer plasticity: The shape-shifting threat challenging modern treatmentsCancer plasticity: The shape-shifting threat challenging modern treatments
 
Cancer plasticity allows tumor cells to change their identity, evade therapies, and adapt to environmental pressures, contributing to treatment resistance and metastasis. New research is targeting this adaptability through epigenetic drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and strategies to limit phenotypic switching.
 
   How an anti-inflammatory diet lowers chronic disease riskHow an anti-inflammatory diet lowers chronic disease risk
 
An anti-inflammatory diet can counteract chronic low-grade inflammation by modulating immune responses, gut health, and key metabolic pathways. Scientific evidence supports its role in preventing cardiovascular, metabolic, neurodegenerative, autoimmune, and even oncologic diseases.
 
   Short peptides show promise in blocking breast cancer metastasisShort peptides show promise in blocking breast cancer metastasis
 
A surgeon can excise breast cancer from the body, but even the most skilled scalpel may not be able to remove every cell - especially when the cells have spread from the original disease site elsewhere in the body.
 
   BRCA mutations sharply increase risk of implant-associated lymphomaBRCA mutations sharply increase risk of implant-associated lymphoma
 
Women with breast cancer who were also carriers of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation and received textured breast implants as part of their reconstructive surgery after mastectomy were 16 times more likely to develop breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), a rare T-cell lymphoma, compared with similar women without these genetic mutations, according to a study published today in Blood Advances.
 
 Low-dose vitamin D supplements can increase effectiveness of chemotherapy in breast cancer patients
 
Low-dose vitamin D supplements can increase effectiveness of chemotherapy in breast cancer patientsA study conducted at the Botucatu School of Medicine at São Paulo State University (FMB-UNESP) in Brazil has shown that low-dose vitamin D supplementation can increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy treatment in women with breast cancer.
 
 
 New open access tool could accelerate drug discovery
 
New open access tool could accelerate drug discoveryScientists at Northwestern University have developed the largest open-access resource of its kind to help researchers shave off months of early-stage drug development time by allowing them to better understand diseases and find potential treatments.
 
 
 Researchers identify cellular hotspots that trigger ferroptosis
 
Researchers identify cellular hotspots that trigger ferroptosisResearchers at the VIB-KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology have uncovered how a unique interaction between two cellular compartments, namely the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria, can act as a central ignition point for ferroptosis, a form of cell death driven by lipid oxidation and iron.
 
 
 Study shows fibronectin tension loss correlates with breast cancer progression
 
Study shows fibronectin tension loss correlates with breast cancer progressionFibronectin fibers lose tension in invasive breast cancer, unlike in healthy or DCIS tissues, suggesting a mechanical marker for tumor progression.
 
 
 Tumor collagen structure may help explain racial disparities in cancer outcomes
 
Tumor collagen structure may help explain racial disparities in cancer outcomesIn cancer care, accurate tools for predicting whether a tumor will spread (metastasize) can help patients receive the most appropriate treatments.
 
 
 Engineered lymph node model advances human immune system research
 
Engineered lymph node model advances human immune system researchScientists with the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have created an engineered model of the supportive tissue found within a lymph node to study human health.
