A new breakthrough in ovarian cancer research has unveiled how ovarian tumors manage to starve immune cells of essential energy, significantly weakening their ability to fight back. Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have identified a mechanism in ovarian cancer that prevents T cells, an essential component of the immune system, from accessing the lipid-based energy… Read More »
As more people get mammograms every year to screen for breast cancer, an additional benefit may be emerging: heart disease risk detection. With advanced technology and artificial intelligence, some imaging centers now offer screenings for cardiovascular risks based on breast arterial calcification visible in mammogram images. This additional test, offered by some radiology practices, could… Read More »
Researchers have uncovered a surprising connection between pain and viral infections that doesn’t involve inflammation. A recent study shows that a specific immune sensor called STING can trigger pain by activating certain neurons in the body, all without causing inflammation. This discovery could lead to new treatments for viral-related pain, like the pain caused by… Read More »
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists from Aarhus University have developed a molecule called LaKe that mimics the health benefits of exercise and fasting. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize treatments for conditions like Parkinson’s and provide a life-changing alternative for those unable to engage in strenuous physical activities. This discovery could make it easier… Read More »
