Mesothelial cells enable rapid invasion and spread of ovarian cancer
Ovarian cancer kills more women than any other gynecological cancer. Most patients receive their diagnosis only after the disease spreads throughout the abdomen.
Burn pit particles trigger lung inflammation through immune activation
A new study from National Jewish Health helps explain how exposure to burn pit smoke and desert dust may damage the lungs of military service members deployed to regions such as Afghanistan and Iraq.
Children’s cooperative behaviors align with cultural norms over time
Children across the globe engage in a constellation of behaviors that support cooperation, an action critical to the survival of the human species, a team of Boston College researchers report today in the journal Science Advances.
High-dose motor therapy improves outcomes after perinatal stroke
In infants and toddlers who had a stroke before birth or as a newborn (28 days or younger), a treatment that combined restricting the use of the stronger arm with intensive task-oriented physical therapy led to improved function and skill gained on the weak side compared to standard care, according to preliminary late-breaking science presented today at the American Stroke Association's International Stroke Conference 2026.
Moderate exercise lowers atrial fibrillation recurrence after ablation
New research from CU Anschutz scientists suggests that staying physically active after heart rhythm treatment may significantly reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) returning, offering patients a simple, low-cost way to support long-term heart health.
Cholesterol transporter ABCA1 boosts macrophage-driven cancer immunity
In recent years, cancer researchers have made major breakthroughs by using the body's immune system to fight cancer. One of the most promising approaches, known as immune checkpoint blockade, works by releasing molecular "brakes" on T cells.
Tumor-targeted chimeric drug increases efficacy and limits side effects
Wistar scientists have combined a promising cancer therapy with a molecule that targets tumors to treat cancer more effectively.
American women show varied preferences for in-clinic versus at-home cervical cancer screening
American women now have the option of screening for cervical cancer at home, using newly approved self-collection tools.
RNA micelles enable targeted chemotherapy without immune toxicity
A new study in mice hints at the potential to use tiny particles made with RNA molecules to deliver chemotherapy drugs and other therapies directly to tumors, killing cancer cells without generating an immune response or toxicity-related side effects.
Electroacupuncture relieves pain-induced anxiety through prefrontal neural circuits
Neuropathic pain, caused by injury or disease of the somatosensory nervous system, is a major clinical challenge and often evolves into a chronic condition.
