| | Northwestern Medicine scientists have demonstrated that a highly sensitive blood test can detect traces of pancreatic cancer missed by standard testing, potentially helping physicians identify patients whose disease is more likely to return even when scans appear reassuring. | |
|
| | Patients with advanced prostate cancer may need periodic imaging scans to catch tumor growth even with stable levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein in the blood that doctors routinely monitor for cancer progression, according to an analysis led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Duke University. | |
|
| | Widely recognized as the face of food poisoning, salmonella bacteria lurk in raw meat and poultry, on pets and in unpasteurized dairy products. | |
|
| | A major new study, published today in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology has shown that cortisol levels in patients with adrenal tumours are far less stable than previously assumed. | |
|
| | A systematic review and meta-analysis of 28 cohort-based studies found a weak but statistically significant association between allergic diseases and later cancer incidence. The signal was strongest in the Western Pacific region and among people with asthma, but high heterogeneity and limited subgroup evidence mean the findings require caution. | |
|
| | Research indicates that certain statins, particularly atorvastatin and simvastatin, may elevate the risk of erectile dysfunction, impacting men's health. | |
|
| | Obesity and dietitian societies have joined forces to issue a new consensus statement on recommendations surrounding use of obesity drugs for weight loss treatment. | |
|
| | The study highlights that how sedentary time is accumulated affects cancer risk, with prolonged sitting linked to higher risk and activity offering protection. | |
|
| | G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the most abundantly expressed proteins in the human body, which regulate diverse physiological processes ranging from pain perception to hormone signaling. | |
|
| | Conventional TIL therapy, clinically validatedrecently with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of lifileucel for advanced melanoma,stillfaces substantial hurdles. | |
|
| | Since the first introduction of saccharin, an array of artificial and other non-nutritive (i.e., low-calorie or calorie-free) sweeteners have become ubiquitous in the US food supply. | |
|
| | Consider the brake. Not the engine, which gets all the attention, but the brake, the quiet thing that decides how fast a system is allowed to go. | |
|
| | New research presented today at the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) 2026 Annual Meeting explores an approach that could expand the potential of cell replacement therapy for type 1 diabetes by evaluating whether immune-engineered, allogeneic insulin-producing cells can survive and function without chronic immunosuppression. | |
