AI model predicts immunotherapy-related pneumonitis risk from CT scans5:05 Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) model that can identify lung cancer patients at increased risk of developing a serious immunotherapy-related side effect before treatment begins, offering a possible path toward more personalized monitoring and prevention strategies. Study identifies shared pathway driving cardiac fibrosis5:05 Three adenosine receptor subtypes that normally send different signals were found to converge on a common pathway that activates cardiac fibroblasts, the scar-forming cells in the heart. Beetroot juice may make swimming feel easier without making swimmers faster4:32 A systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 studies, with nine contributing data from 120 swimmers, found no significant improvement in swimming time-trial performance or post-exercise blood lactate with beetroot juice or dietary nitrate supplementation. Supplementation produced a small reduction in perceived exertion, but the effect varied across studies, and the certainty of evidence for swimmi… Happy at work, better at the job? A study of young employees offers clues4:00 Researchers studying 412 employees aged 35 or younger in Spain found that higher job satisfaction was associated with better task and contextual performance. Work that negatively affected mental health and personal life was associated with poorer contextual performance and more counterproductive behavior, while supervisor emotional accessibility and organizational respect showed no significant di… Human crying catches dogs’ attention across homes, shelters, and streets0:49 A study of 112 pet, shelter, and free-ranging dogs found that all three groups looked more toward people simulating crying than humming. MIT biologists discover cellular pathway that triggers colon cancer spread22:41 Most colon cancer deaths are caused by the spread of tumor cells beyond the colon, usually to the liver. In a new study, MIT biologists identified a cellular pathway necessary for colorectal cancer metastasis. Multi-million dollar grants aim to advance hairy cell leukemia research22:41 The Hairy Cell Leukemia Foundation and Blood Cancer United®, formerly The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, today announced six new research grants as part of their ongoing strategic partnership to better understand what drives hairy cell leukemia and find better therapies on the road to cures for this rare form of blood cancer. Nurses in Latin America faced severe systemic violence during the pandemic22:09 The COVID-19 pandemic created unprecedented challenges for health professionals around the world.

EGFR co-targeting and nanotechnology offer new triple-negative breast cancer therapies22:09 Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains one of the most challenging forms of breast cancer to treat because it lacks the estrogen, progesterone and HER2 receptors that enable targeted treatment in other breast cancer subtypes. Protein modification network plays vital role in cancer development22:09 A review published in Genes & Diseases highlights the complex interplay between protein arginine methylation and ubiquitination, two forms of protein modification that can profoundly influence cancer development, progression and treatment response. |
