Chronic inflammation shapes cancer progression and immunotherapy response
Chronic inflammation is both a driver and suppressor of cancer depending on context. Key players-NF-κB, IL-6, STAT3, TAMs, MDSCs, and Tregs-orchestrate a tumor-permissive microenvironment.
Dysplasia grade predicts colorectal cancer risk in people with IBD
People with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and precancerous colorectal lesions are much more likely to develop colorectal cancer, a new study shows.
Infant bifidobacteria may protect against childhood allergies
Certain gut bacteria in infants may reduce the risk of developing allergies later in childhood. This is the finding of new research from the ALADDIN study at Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Microbiology.
Senescent astrocytes identified as key drivers of Alzheimer's progression
Researchers from the NeuroAD group (Neuropathology of Alzheimer's Disease) within the Department of Cell Biology, Genetics and Physiology at the University of Málaga, also affiliated with IBIMA-BIONAND Platform and CIBERNED, have made a pioneering breakthrough in the fight against this disease by identifying astrocytes as a promising cellular target for the development of future therapies.

A team led by LMU physician Sebastian Kobold has found a way to allow the body's immune system to destroy solid tumors.
Machine learning model demonstrates insulin resistance as a risk factor for 12 types of cancer
Insulin resistance - when the body doesn't properly respond to insulin, a hormone that helps control blood glucose levels - is one of the fundamental causes of diabetes.
HER2 gastric cancer: Unraveling resistance at single-cell resolution
HER2-positive gastric cancer accounts for a substantial proportion of advanced cases and has long been treated with HER2-targeted therapies.
Synergistic drug pair shows promise for spinal cord injury recovery
Spinal cord injury remains one of the most challenging neurological conditions to treat, largely because damage continues to worsen long after the initial trauma.
Survey: 76% of surgical patients don't complete physical therapy homework, leading to stalled recoveries
Physical therapy is a key step on the path to recovery after injuries or certain surgical procedures. A new survey by The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center shows 3 out of 4 (76%) patients don't complete their physical therapy homework, leading to stalled recoveries and potential surgical setbacks.

Global study reveals disparities in early-onset gastric cancer
Gastric cancer remains the fifth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Although its overall incidence has declined, early-onset cases—diagnosed before age 50—display unique biological and clinical patterns.
Air pollution increases physical disability progression in older adults
Long-term air pollution exposure is associated with faster progression of disability in older adults, highlighting critical public health implications.
Advanced use of MRI aids in accurate identification of rare, atypical parkinsonian disorders
An international study led by researchers from the Sant Pau Research Institute (IR Sant Pau) shows that advanced use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows much more accurate identification of patients with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) and corticobasal degeneration (CBD).
