Human red blood cells form without central 'hub' seen in mouse models, upending understand

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood cells are made—works differently in humans than previously thought, according to a new study published in Nature Genetics. The findings overturn decades of

Two prostate cancer mutations reveal opposite responses to ferroptosis therapy

A new study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has identified genetic factors that determine whether prostate cancers are susceptible to a type of cell death known as ferroptosis. These findings, published in Nature Communications, could help guid

Virus influences rare brain lymphomas, large study finds

Primary CNS lymphoma is a rare cancer that arises from malignant white blood cells. Affected individuals develop tumors in the brain and, more rarely, in the spinal cord, the eyes or within the cerebrospinal fluid. These lymphomas can occur in people with weakened immune systems,

Preserved testicular tissue produces early germ cells after childhood cancer treatment

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have demonstrated that it is possible to create early germ cells from preserved testicular tissue of young boys facing cancer therapy. The study, published in the journal Human Reproduction Open, may eventually contribute to new ways of protec

How serotonin may help drive long-term allergic inflammation through overlooked immune cel

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have uncovered how serotonin-related metabolism helps regulate an understudied immune cell involved in allergic inflammation. The study, published in the journal Allergy, adds to knowledge about how allergic immune responses may be maintained

New tumor map identifies high-risk B-cell lymphoma standard therapy may miss

Researchers led by Universitätsmedizin Frankfurt and Goethe University Frankfurt have identified how particularly aggressive forms of lymphoma can be recognized. By combining genetic and proteomic analyses, the scientists identified biological characteristics of tumors, particula

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

Immature immune cells predict chances of survival following a heart attack

In the event of a severe heart attack, immature immune cells are released into the bloodstream from the bone marrow. A research team led by the University of Münster has demonstrated that the maturity level of neutrophils can be used to determine the short-term risk of death, and

Common brain cancer mutation changes DNA shape to drive progression, exposing therapeutic

A new study from researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has uncovered how one of the most common genetic alterations in glioma rewires the cancer cell genome to fuel tumor progression, suggesting a potential new therapeutic strategy for patients with ATR

Speaking another language could slow aging in the brain

People who speak more than one language seem to have younger brains, according to research presented at the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) Forum 2026. Our brains are made up of billions of nerve cells that need to communicate with one another. As we age, con

Pregnancy recruits killer T cells that may guard breasts against cancer for years

An Australian study by researchers at Peter Mac has shown that the natural protection against breast cancer offered by childbearing is due to the influx of killer T cells to the breast. The research shows that the cells begin to populate the breast during pregnancy and are closel

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.
