Discovery could help prevent cancer drug resistance before it starts

Cancer cells are quick to develop resistance to anti-tumor drugs. New research by scientists from the University of California, Davis, shows how cancers adapt to evade a class of anti-tumor drugs called BET inhibitors and offers hope for more effective therapies.

7 things to know about Medicare's new GLP-1 coverage

For decades, it's been against the law for Medicare to pay for weight-loss medication. But that changed on July 1, with the launch of a new program called Bridge. It gives some people over 65, or who have Medicare for other reasons, access to some weight management medications if

Forcing cancer cells to die can alert the immune system to enhance anti-tumor attack

Unlike accidental cell death, some cells can actively decide to die through a controlled process. This is called programmed cell death and can occur in different forms, including apoptosis and necroptosis. Cells use this process when they are damaged, stressed, becoming cancerous

Platinum TALEN enables mass production of engineered cancer-fighting T cells

Hiroshima University researchers have demonstrated a proof of concept for the mass production of genome-edited T cells that can be used to treat malignant tumors, using a genetic engineering technique called Platinum TALEN.

Emerging evidence links tire pollution to Alzheimer's risk

A chemical called 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), which forms when shaved-off tire particles come into contact with ozone, might interfere with the inner workings of brain cells, leading to Alzheimer's disease. Zhang and Zhang's new paper in the journal Open Medicine, "6PPD‑Quinone Exposu

Hormone differences could pave way for endometriosis blood test

People with endometriosis have a distinct pattern of hormones that could be identified by a blood test, with the potential to revolutionize diagnosis of the condition, research suggests. Scientists have found that those with endometriosis have differences in a previously overlook

Neuroscientists observe electrical signals in the soma and dendrites of living mice

The human brain contains billions of neurons, specialized nerve cells that communicate with each other via electrical and chemical signals. Every neuron is made up of its body (i.e., soma), where most cellular processes occur; a long projection called an axon that sends signals t

Get better sleep with ultrasound patch that boosts REM rest

A University of Texas at Austin-led team of researchers has developed a noninvasive patch that boosts REM sleep in real-world trials without surgery or medication. The technology, called NEUSLeeP, is a soft, wearable device that uses gentle ultrasound waves and electrodes to stim

Gene clues reveal why some rare leukemia patients resist tagraxofusp therapy

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified why some patients with a rare type of leukemia, called blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), eventually develop resistance to tagraxofusp, the first Food and Drug Administration-appro

Five-agent AI team could speed clinical trial design using real-world patient records

An artificial intelligence system that operates like a collaborative team of medical experts could accelerate clinical trial design, one of the most difficult steps in drug development, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The findings, published in N

Electric fields could organize neural activity trial by trial during memory tasks

It's a fact of life that the electrical activity of neurons will vary during the same task, even when the ultimate outcome is the same. A new study shows that a lot of ongoing fluctuations in the brain's activity can be explained by the influence local electric fields exert on th

Genetic insights into a fluid-related brain condition in newborns

Early detection and treatment of congenital cerebral ventriculomegaly (CCV)—when a fetus's fluid-filled brain ventricles swell due to a condition called hydrocephalus—can help clinicians prevent developmental or neurological disabilities in affected infants. New research led by i
