| | Paternal mental health risks increase after childbirth, with delayed detection of psychiatric disorders underscoring the need for targeted support for fathers. | |

| | A 50-year retrospective cohort study of 117,166 Transport for London workers found that bus and London Underground job categories had higher all-cause, respiratory, cardiovascular, and lung cancer mortality than office workers. The authors caution that broad job categories, missing cause-of-death data, and unmeasured confounding mean the findings show association, not proof of specific occupational causes. | |
|
| | A study of 156 adult men found that knowledge about male fertility was generally low across both medical and lifestyle-related topics, with only 5 of 25 questions answered correctly by most respondents. Older men, those with a medical background, and those with suspected or treated infertility tended to score higher, while supplement use was common despite limited fertility literacy. | |
|
| | Researchers showed that chronic colitis leaves a long-lasting epigenetic memory in colonic stem cells, persisting for more than 100 days after recovery in mice. This memory is marked by durable AP-1-linked chromatin changes and later amplifies tumour outgrowth after oncogenic mutation. | |
|
| | Emerging evidence links popular weight-loss drugs to lower cancer rates, but are these effects real, or simply a reflection of better metabolic health? | |
|
| | Hormone patches are as good at controlling locally advanced prostate cancer as the injections typically used to deliver hormone therapy, according to the results of a large clinical trial led by UCL (University College London) researchers. | |
|
| | In a new Dartmouth Cancer Center (DCC) study led by clinical researcher Tyler J. Curiel, MD, MPH, FACP, investigators found that the FDA-approved blood pressure drug telmisartan can significantly enhance the cancer-killing activity of the targeted therapy olaparib, potentially expanding its use to many more patients. | |
|
| | Stress is a constant companion in the oncologist's office. It appears at the time of diagnosis, increases with each stage of treatment, and often does not resolve even after therapy formally ends. It accompanies therapeutic decisions, waiting for test results, fear of recurrence, and changes in daily functioning. Studies show that chronic stress can trigger biological processes that promote disease progression and weaken the body's defenses. | |
|
| | A new research paper was published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on March 17, 2026, titled "CREB5 regulates stem cell-like transcriptional programs to enhance tumor progression in prostate cancer." | |
|
| | UCLA researchers have uncovered a hidden weakness in some of the deadliest cancers, revealing a potential new strategy for targeting tumors that have long resisted treatment. | |
|
| | Prostate cancer affects one in five Australian men, making it the most common cancer in the country. | |
|
| | Spinal and Bulbar Muscular Atrophy (SBMA) is a rare inherited disease that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting in men. | |
|
| | Metastasis, the spread of cancer from a primary tumor to other parts of the body, is difficult to study in the lab, in part because researchers lack reliable ways to recreate the conditions cancer cells encounter as they travel through the bloodstream. | |
|
| | Australian longitudinal data suggest that leaving the parental home is associated with a small decline in overall diet quality and a short-term rise in discretionary food intake during the transition from adolescence to adulthood. The study also found that diet quality tended to worsen most among those moving in with a partner, while the discretionary-food gap narrowed over time. | |
|
| | APOE4 drove sex-specific changes in meningeal immunity, lymphatic drainage, brain lipids, neuroinflammation, and cognition in mouse models, with females showing greater inflammatory and cognitive vulnerability. Suppressing innate immunity improved some cognitive outcomes in female E4/E4 mice but worsened them in male E4/E4 mice, underscoring the need for sex-tailored approaches. | |
