Researchers say understanding the gene expression profiles of metastasized cancer tumors could help lead to personalized treatments → Read More
Rheumatoid arthritis drug may help slow the effects of aging on blood production
A new study suggests that an anti-inflammatory drug, already approved to treat rheumatoid arthritis, may be able to slow and reverse some of the effects of age on blood-producing cells. → Read More
Novel drug combination shows promise in causing regression in cancer tumors
A recent study conducted in a mouse model of immunotherapy-resistant pancreatic cancer described how a novel therapeutic, PD1-IL2v, caused tumor regression in animals → Read More
Dementia: More walking, higher intensity activity may help protect brain health
A study found that adding more daily steps and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity may help reduce cognitive decline and the risk of dementia in older women. → Read More

Chemotherapy before surgery may help cut the risk of colon cancer returning
A phase 3 trial showed that chemotherapy before surgery, instead of the standard postoperative approach, can cut the risk of colon cancer returning. → Read More
Study in humans confirms link between Parkinson's and gut bacteria imbalance
A recent study confirms that people with Parkinson's disease have different gut microbiota compared with healthy individuals, suggesting that bacterial imbalance may play a role in this condition. → Read More
Males with obesity may be more at risk of heart complications, but why?
Research in mice has revealed the bodies of males with obesity are less able to form new blood vessels than those of females, which may explain their increased risk of heart problems. → Read More
Can researchers use stem cells to reverse damage in degenerative eye diseases?
Research in cell cultures suggests that scientists could use stem cells to create healthy new retinal neurons that undo the damage in a range of degenerative eye conditions. → Read More
Low-carb diet reverses type 2 diabetes in 51% of participants to new study
A new study involving 186 patients with type 2 diabetes suggests that a low-carbohydrate diet helped over half of the participants achieve remission. → Read More
Atrial fibrillation (A-fib): Ablation surgery may be more effective than drugs
Compared to antiarrhythmic drugs, the use of cryoballoon ablation, a type of catheter ablation, was linked to lower rates of progression of atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) in a randomized clinical trial. → Read More
Could probiotic bacteria help protect against ALS symptoms?
Recent research in roundworm models suggests that a probiotic bacterial strain may play an important role in mitigating ALS-like symptoms. → Read More
Prostate cancer: Single bout of aerobic exercise helps suppress tumor growth
A recent study found that individuals with advanced prostate cancer showed an enhanced ability to suppress the growth of tumor cells immediately after a single bout of high-intensity interval (HIIT) aerobic exercise. → Read More
Why females may be less likely to experience brain inflammation than males
A study in mice suggests that subcutaneous fat, not estrogen, may help protect females against brain inflammation. Males, who accumulate more visceral fat, do not experience the same protective effects. → Read More
