Radioligand therapy for HER2-positive cancers enters human trials for the first time
The McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) is the first site in the world to launch a first-in-human phase 1 clinical trial evaluating a novel radioligand therapy for HER2-positive cancers, including certain types of breast cancer.
Leveraging AI can reduce time and resources in how physicians approach sepsis care
In a new clinical study from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine, researchers and physicians at UC San Diego Health have found that by utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), they could develop more timely and efficient assessments of care provided to patien
Wildfires pose risk for premature births and low birth weight
Temperatures climb to new record highs every summer. In many parts of Europe, this marks the start of the most dangerous time of year for wildfires. What begins as a natural disaster has far-reaching consequences for the health of people in affected areas.
GenAI overcomes slide misalignment to produce virtual stains close to real slides
Histopathology is a cornerstone of clinical diagnosis, especially in cancer care. However, conventional chemical staining is often time-consuming and labor-intensive and may consume precious tissue samples.
Cancer drug shortage renews calls for federal action
Cancer doctors across the United States are running short of essential generic chemotherapy drugs, and some fear the squeeze could force widespread rationing, The New York Times reported.
Intracellular mechanisms promote tumor survival during hypoxia
Northwestern Medicine scientists have, for the first time, described the underlying mechanisms that regulate how cells rapidly change gene expression in response to hypoxia, a key feature of many treatment-resistant tumors, according to a recent study published in Science Advance
What helps women eat well? Control over money, time and decisions matters
Worldwide, women carry the greatest burden of malnutrition. More than two-thirds of women of childbearing age don't get enough of at least one micronutrient. These are the vitamins and minerals, such as iron, that the body needs in small amounts to stay healthy. A shortage is oft
What's the buzz about mosquitoes this year?
With mosquito populations peaking well above the 10-year average in Saskatchewan and double last year's count at this time, the buzz across Saskatchewan is how bad it will get, and what we can do to help enjoy our time outside.
Fish-inspired sensor tracks how human heart tissue responds to disease and treatment
Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ripples they create. The team has created a wireless, noninvasive sensing platform that can biomechanically measure how strongly the miniature heart tissues
Could one shot replace weekly GLP-1 drugs? DNA approach shows months-long effects in mice
Scientists at The Wistar Institute have shown that a single injection of a small, circular piece of genetic instruction can produce weight loss and blood glucose control in murine models that lasts up to 10 times as long as incretin-mimicking drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. If sho
Supporting women in early labor is important for safe maternity care
The Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust report has identified serious failings in care at one of England's largest maternity services, with lessons for maternity units nationally. Among its findings was a repeated problem at the very start of labor: Women and families strug
