Fri, 08/22/2025 - 12:17
Despite advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality.

Study finds no increased risk of death associated with higher intake of animal protein

Fri, 08/22/2025 - 09:02
Eating animal-sourced protein foods is not linked to a higher risk of death and may even offer protective benefits against cancer-related mortality, new research finds.

Insights into the clinical presentation and management of sellar chondrosarcomas

Fri, 08/22/2025 - 08:35
Chondrosarcomas are a malignant form of bone cancer that is composed of cartilage-forming tumor cells. Sellar chondrosarcomas, which occur in the sellar region at the base of the skull, are a very rare manifestation of chondrosarcoma, making up only around 0.2% of all tumors found in the skull.

How generative AI scribes are reducing physician burnout

Fri, 08/22/2025 - 01:30
A new study led by Mass General Brigham researchers reveals that ambient documentation technologies – generative artificial intelligence scribes that record patient visits and draft clinical notes for physician review before incorporating them into electronic health records – led to significant reductions in physician burnout.

Data gaps worsen cardiovascular health inequities in racialized and Indigenous communities

Fri, 08/22/2025 - 01:26

Research examines how cancer may invalidate forensic age-estimation tools

Fri, 08/22/2025 - 01:20
Patients with solid tumors, including breast and lung cancers, showed only slightly less accurate results. In contrast, individuals with blood cancers, particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), sometimes had large errors, with ages overestimated by as much as 50 years.

Hemoglobin emerges as a natural antioxidant defense in the brain

Fri, 08/22/2025 - 01:04
Did you know the same protein that gives blood its red color and carries oxygen throughout the body is also present inside brain cells? Hemoglobin, long celebrated for ferrying oxygen in red blood cells, has now been revealed to play an overlooked - and potentially game-changing - antioxidant role in the brain.

Computational framework deciphers cellular organization

Fri, 08/22/2025 - 00:43
One of the most fundamental processes in all of biology is the spontaneous organization of cells into clusters that divide and eventually turn into shapes – be they organs, wings, or limbs.
