Here’s 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.
An international team of scientists has moved beyond just “scratching the surface,” 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 – revealing not only where plastics accumulate, but how they infiltrate critical ocean systems.
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.
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 Ophthalmology’s (ARVO) 2025 Annual Meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah.
From May 4 - 8, more than 8,000 scientists will gather at the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology’s (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.
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.
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.
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.
