Hereâs a look at some of the most recent discoveries that are helping to advance more effective and targeted treatment strategies for glioblastoma and other aggressive brain cancers.
Over the past 100 days, the Department of Energyâs Office of Science has seen the pay off in results from decades of research investments and supported new efforts to move forward with cutting-edge technologies.
In a study, published in JAMA Oncology, researchers at University of Michigan showed that the proportion of patients undergoing prostatectomy for the lowest-risk type of cancer dropped over fivefold between 2010 to 2024. They concluded that efforts to increase active surveillance and improved diagnostic methods have helped more men avoid unnecessary surgery.
An international team of scientists has moved beyond just âscratching the surface,â to understand how microplastics move through and impact the global ocean. For the first time, scientists have mapped microplastic distribution from the surface to the deep sea at a global scale â revealing not only where plastics accumulate, but how they infiltrate critical ocean systems.
Salt Lake City, Utah â From May 4 - 8, more than 8,000 scientists will gather at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmologyâs (ARVO) 2025 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, to share the latest discoveries in eye and vision research. Many studies being presented focus on the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that captures the images people see and sends signals to the brain so that people can see and understand the world around them.
Salt Lake City, Utah â Transformative research offering fresh insights and treatment advancements for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in adults over age 50, will be among the highlights showcased from May 4 - 8 at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmologyâs (ARVO) 2025 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The findings could lead to a new way to reduce or prevent excessive scarring, which could benefit patients recovering from surgery, injuries, or burns.
Simultaneous bariatric surgery and liver transplant for patients who are severely obese is safe and improves long-term health outcomes, according to a recent Mayo Clinic study. This combined approach offers a needed solution for these patients who are often denied a lifesaving liver transplant due to their weight.
An FDA-designated orphan drug that can target a key vulnerability in lung cancer shows promise in improving the efficacy of radiation treatments in preclinical models, according to a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers. The findings, published in Science Advances, suggest a new way to enhance the response to radiotherapy by inhibiting DNA repair in lung cancer cells.
The Wistar Institute has recruited Xiaoyu (Ariel) Zhou, Ph.D., as assistant professor in the Vaccine & Immunotherapy Center.
Traditional methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at UC San Diego have developed a new simple approach to rapidly check on human gene changes and also screen chemicals as potential drugs by turning everyday bacteria into living test tubes.
UC San Diego Health mental health expert is available to discuss treatment-resistant depression.
After reviewing hundreds of hours of surgical video, a team led by Cedars-Sinai investigators has created a system that links specific steps performed during a surgical procedure to how well patients recover.
Triple-negative breast cancer is a highly aggressive subtype of breast cancer that affects 10% - 15% of all breast cancer patients. According to the American Cancer Society, Black women are more than twice as likely as other ethnic populations to receive a diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer.
When we think of nature play, we envision children swinging from trees, decorating mud pies with gum nuts, and delving through creek beds. But nature play must be more than this and needs to cater to children of all ages and capabilities, say researchers at the University of South Australia.

Researchers at Childrenâs Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania announced the first ever direct approach to the depletion and replacement of microglia, the native immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). The approach leverages microglial replacement in Krabbe disease to demonstrate its broader therapeutic potential across other neurological conditions. The preclinical findings were published in the journal Immunity.
Researchers from UC San Diego found that Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE) can help rewire the brainâs response to natural healthy pleasure, leading to reduced opioid cravings. The findings suggest that MORE could be a promising tool in the fight against opioid use disorder.
