Largest study yet reveals which cancers have their own microbiomes

For decades, cancer has been thought of as a purely human disease—rogue cells multiplying out of control, with no room for anything else in the picture. But a growing body of research suggests that isn't quite right. Some tumors, it turns out, come with company: communities of ba

Psychedelic drug screen in mice may overlook stress and brain changes

Over the past decades, some medical researchers and neuroscientists have been exploring the possible therapeutic effects of psychedelic compounds, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin. These are substances that act on serotonin receptors in the brain and can al

Genome editing in rats enables more accurate estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer mode

Rat disease models have played an integral role in scientific discovery and cancer research, including Nobel Prize–winning work from Charles Huggins on hormone therapy for prostate cancer in 1966. However, technical challenges in genetic engineering of rat models have limited the

First-in-human immunotherapy more than doubles progression-free survival in glioblastoma p

Glioblastoma, the most aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults, remains one of the most challenging cancers to treat because of limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Patient outcomes have remained largely unchanged in the past two decades, underscoring the need for i

Dialing back stiffness may protect muscles in myotonic dystrophy

For decades, researchers studying myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) have focused on the disease's underlying genetic cause: a mutation that produces a toxic form of RNA, disrupting the normal processing of thousands of genetic messages inside cells. While scientists have known this

New cancer drug shows promise in mesothelioma trial

Mesothelioma is a rare but aggressive cancer, usually caused by exposure to asbestos. Inhaled asbestos fibers become lodged in the lungs, causing inflammation that can lead to tumor formation decades later. Worldwide, about 30,000 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma each year.

Rapid magnetic brain stimulation eases depression within days, but benefits fade within we

Despite decades of advances in mental health care, depression remains one of the world's most disabling conditions. Many people with major depressive disorder (MDD) fail to find lasting relief from antidepressants or psychological therapies. Studies indicate that the global burde

Mediterranean diet paradox reveals shifting nutrition trends

Despite decades of scientific evidence linking the Mediterranean diet to lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other chronic illnesses, the eating pattern is steadily disappearing in the very countries where it originated. Nutritional choices among populations in co

Genetic safeguard protects the female heart—and what happens when it's lost

Men and women are not born with the same risk of heart disease, and for decades scientists have struggled to explain why. A new study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, published in Genes & Development, offers an answer: The female heart depends on a molecular
