New candidate molecule could become an effective non-hormonal male contraceptive

Despite birth control existing for decades, almost none of the options specifically target sperm cells. Researchers are now developing approaches that target testosterone or otherwise interrupt the sperm's ability to fertilize an egg, yet these may not work for everyone.

How salt appetite differs between males and females

A recent Nutrients study reviews differences in salt intake based on sex.

Hormonal therapy may aid in reducing progression of early-stage prostate cancer during active surveillance

For men with early-stage prostate cancer being managed by active surveillance, adding the hormonal agent apalutamide may lower the rate of positive biopsies during follow-up, suggests a preliminary clinical trial in The Journal of Urology, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association.

Insulin-like peptide 3 may be a predictor of hypogonadism and age-associated morbidity in older males

Researchers evaluated whether insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) could predict hypogonadism and age-associated morbidity in older males.

Expansion of intermediate cells in prostate cancer correlates with treatment resistance and poor outcomes

Researchers have characterised prostate cancer cell dynamics at a single-cell resolution across the timespan of the disease – from its beginning to the point of androgen independence, where the tumour no longer responds to hormone deprivation therapy.

New drug candidates for male birth control may be on the horizon

For decades, researchers have been working on "male birth control" -; and studies show there is a demand.

Single drug compound may offer a promising new strategy for treating prostate cancer patients

A single drug compound simultaneously attacks hard-to-treat prostate cancer on several fronts, according to a new study in mice and human cells.

Treating long covid is rife with guesswork

Medical equipment is still strewn around the house of Rick Lucas, 62, nearly two years after he came home from the hospital. He picks up a spirometer, a device that measures lung capacity, and takes a deep breath — though not as deep as he'd like.

Researchers are developing calculator that weighs risk and benefit of taking osteoporosis drugs

Osteoporosis is a major, worsening public health problem and bisphosphonates which help restore a healthier balance of bone production and resorption, have been a relatively inexpensive, successful treatment, particularly for those at highest risk for fractures.

Study shows benefits of metastasis-directed therapy without ADT for oligorecurrent prostate cancer

For patients with solitary metastases from prostate cancer, an approach called metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) – focused treatment using surgery or radiation therapy, without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) – can slow the time to cancer progression, reports a study in The Journal of Urology, an Official Journal of the American Urological Association

More babies, lower risk of endometrial cancer

While many highly industrialized and developed countries report falling or negative population growth rates due to a rapid decrease in the number of babies born each year, a new report adds more strength to the evidence that bearing a baby has a protective effect on the endometrium, the lining of the womb, reducing the risk of endometrial cancer.

Female resilience to cell death could be therapeutically harnessed to improve kidney repair

In the battle of the sexes, women beat men in their ability to recover from kidney injury, but the reasons are not well understood.

Hormone plays vital role in early prediction of age-related morbidity in men

Researchers have discovered the vital role of a hormone, that develops in men during puberty, in providing an early prediction of whether they could develop certain diseases in later life.

Novel biomarker for the prediction of age-linked disease

Researchers have discovered the vital role of a hormone, that develops in men during puberty, in providing an early prediction of whether they could develop certain diseases in later life.

Post-‘Roe,’ contraceptive failures carry bigger stakes

Birth control options have improved over the decades. Oral contraceptives are now safer, with fewer side effects. Intrauterine devices can prevent pregnancy 99.6% of the time. But no prescription drug or medical device works flawlessly, and people's use of contraception is inexact.

7 Nov 2022

Researchers identify new therapeutic approach against treatment-resistant prostate cancer

Investigators from Cedars-Sinai Cancer have identified an investigational therapeutic approach that could be effective against treatment-resistant prostate cancer. Results of their Phase II clinical trial, published in the peer-reviewed journal Molecular Therapy, have led to a larger, multicenter trial that will soon be underway.
