Scientists find how “zombie” cells fuel inflammation as we age

8+ hour, 4+ min ago   (594+ words) Scientists discovered that aging cells can use malfunctioning mitochondria to unlock inflammatory genes and keep the immune system stuck in a prolonged state of alert. Blocking one part of this process reduced inflammation and improved healthy aging in mice, suggesting…...

Most men don’t know dairy is linked to prostate cancer risk

22+ hour, 54+ min ago   (339+ words) Most men may be missing an important dietary clue about prostate cancer. A new survey found that only 20% knew research has linked dairy consumption with increased prostate cancer risk, while 66% said they would consider avoiding dairy after learning about the…...

Scientists discover a hidden switch that shuts down inflammation

1+ day, 10+ hour ago   (659+ words) Scientists have uncovered a natural braking system that helps the immune system switch off inflammation and prevent harmful immune cells from building up. Boosting this pathway in people reduced inflammation-related immune changes and sped up pain relief, pointing toward potential…...

Scientists find a way to break pancreatic cancer’s protective shield

2+ day, 9+ hour ago   (407+ words) Researchers found that blocking IL1RAP could disrupt a powerful inflammatory network that helps pancreatic cancer survive treatment. In preclinical experiments, the approach reduced tumor-protecting cells and fibrosis while boosting the activity of cancer-fighting T cells. That could make chemotherapy and immunotherapy…...

UCLA scientists turn cord blood into powerful cancer-fighting T cells

3+ day, 10+ hour ago   (1233+ words) UCLA researchers developed ready-made cancer-fighting T cells from cord blood stem cells that can attack solid tumors through two separate detection systems. In mice, a single dose controlled cancer and extended survival while avoiding a dangerous complication associated with donor-derived…...

Scientists find a bone-building switch that could fight osteoporosis

4+ day, 22+ hour ago   (608+ words) Osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures, affects millions of people and remains a major challenge for doctors seeking safe treatments that can be used over long periods. In Germany alone, about six million people…...

Scientists find a new weakness in treatment-resistant prostate cancer

6+ day, 1+ hour ago   (488+ words) Researchers have found a potential way to attack prostate cancers that evade treatment by changing their cellular identity. Combining two types of drugs reversed many of these changes and sharply slowed tumor growth in preclinical experiments, offering a possible new…...

Cancer cases could surge 67% worldwide by 2050

1+ week, 6+ hour ago   (812+ words) A major new analysis led by the American Cancer Society (ACS) paints a troubling picture of cancer worldwide while also highlighting how much of the burden could potentially be reduced through prevention, earlier diagnosis, and better access to care. According…...

Scientists find breast cancer cells hiding behind protective “shields”

1+ week, 15+ hour ago   (648+ words) Researchers have mapped breast tumors in striking detail and uncovered hidden pockets of dormant cancer cells that may help explain why cancer can return after treatment. Unlike rapidly dividing cells, these quiet cells can essentially hibernate, allowing them to evade…...

Scientists find a weak spot in one of the deadliest brain cancers

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (66+ words) Researchers may have found a new way to weaken glioblastoma’s defenses against treatment. Blocking a protein called SET prevented tumors from forming in preclinical models, while targeting related proteins made cancer cells more vulnerable to radiation. The strategy works by…...
