Aromatic benzaldehyde inhibits growth of therapy-resistant pancreatic cancer
During therapy, some cancer cells evolve to escape elimination. Newer anticancer drugs that can overcome this resistance are necessary.
Theater activities enhance emotional well-being in Parkinson’s patients
A research team at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC), working with the Hospital Sant Pau in Barcelona, has shown that theatre can improve the emotional well-being of people with Parkinson's disease.
Women with endometriosis-associated infertility are more likely to become pregnant, study reveals
A landmark 30-year study of over four million women in England has revealed that women with endometriosis-associated infertility are significantly more likely to become pregnant compared to those with infertility from other causes.
Older women face increased risk of HPV-related cervical cancer
Women aged 65 and above are still at heightened risk of cervical cancer caused by human papillomavirus (HPV), suggest the findings of a large observational study published in the open access journal Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinical Medicine.
Healthy lifestyle lowers risk of diverticulitis despite genetic susceptibility
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle-specifically, a diet rich in fibre but light on red/processed meat, regular exercise, not smoking, and sticking to a normal weight-is linked to a significantly lower risk of diverticulitis, finds a large long term study, published online in the journal Gut.
Slower arm movements increase fall risk in older adults
When a person starts to lose their balance on a slippery surface, the natural reaction is to raise the arms to restore balance.
New strategy enhances immunotherapy effectiveness against glioblastoma by utilizing gut microbes
Advanced treatments, known as immunotherapies that activate T cells—our body's immune cells—to eliminate cancer cells, have shown limited efficacy as standalone therapies for glioblastoma, the most lethal form of brain tumor.
Plant-based fitness supplements for reversing metabolic syndrome
Research indicates that specific plant-based supplements, combined with exercise, can improve cardiometabolic markers in those at risk for metabolic syndrome.
Drug combination shows promise for treating aggressive T-cell lymphomas
Relapsed/refractory peripheral and cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (R/R PTCL and CTCL) are aggressive blood cancers that often resist standard therapy. Patients with these lymphomas may require stem cell transplants, but the disease needs to be brought under control before patients can undergo this treatment.
Experimental medication sensitizes glioblastoma to treatment and blocks tumor spread
A potential treatment for glioblastoma crafted by scientists at The Wertheim UF Scripps Institute renders the deadly brain cancer newly sensitive to both radiation and chemotherapy drugs, and blocks the cancer's ability to invade other tissue, a new study shows.
Targeting a key enzyme could reverse early Parkinson's effects
Putting the brakes on an enzyme might rescue neurons that are dying due to a type of Parkinson's disease that's caused by a single genetic mutation, according to a new Stanford Medicine-led study conducted in mice.
Advancing treatment for urothelial cancer with enfortumab vedotin and pembrolizumab
A new review was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 17, 2025, titled "Optimizing enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab therapy."
Study enhances the understanding of urolithiasis pathogenesis
A recent study published in Genes & Diseases reveals new insights into the relationship between immune cell characteristics, blood metabolites, and the risk of urolithiasis.
Single-cell transcriptomes of immune cells offer insight into juvenile idiopathic arthritis
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), a type of arthritis commonly occurring in children, is a chronic, inflammatory condition that affects the joints, causing pain, swelling, stiffness, and limiting the range of motion.
Timepoint at which B cells transform into leukemic cells impacts treatment outcomes
New findings show that the stage of normal cell development at which B cells transform into leukemic cells impacts treatment outcomes for pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).
Uncovering the link between viruses and neurodegeneration through primate models
In a comprehensive Genomic Press Innovators & Ideas interview, Dr. Danielle Beckman reveals how her passion for microscopy has evolved into a mission to understand viral impacts on brain health, offering hope for patients suffering from post-viral neurological symptoms.
Adolescent vaping of THC, CBD and synthetic cannabinoids rises sharply between 2021 and 2023
Novel research has revealed that adolescent vaping of current delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cannabidiol (CBD), and synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) has increased between 2021 and 2023.
Could your pregnancy diet shape your child’s immune future?
Researchers found that a pro-inflammatory maternal diet during pregnancy was linked to a 16% increased risk of type 1 diabetes in offspring. This large Danish cohort study suggests that maternal dietary patterns may shape long-term autoimmune risk in children.
Study reveals top reasons schools call emergency medical services
The three most common reasons schools called emergency medical services (EMS) were for neurological crises such as seizures, psychiatric conditions or substance abuse, and trauma related injuries, according to data from the national EMS registry analyzed by researchers from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.
Study finds widespread microplastics in reproductive fluids, what it means for fertility
Microplastics have been detected in human reproductive fluids, with researchers finding them in 69% of female and 55% of male samples, raising concerns about potential effects on fertility. Although causality remains unproven, the findings prompt calls for reducing plastic exposure.
