A new study has shown that inherited genetics influence not only the risk of developing cancer, but also how tumors form. These findings highlight the importance of a personalized approach to diagnosis and treatment.
Recent studies have shown that sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, may slow the progression of cancer metastases, especially when combined with statins. This approach could improve survival rates for patients with oncological diseases.
A new study has shown that taking vitamin D may increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy in women with breast cancer. However, larger studies are needed to confirm these results.
Long-term engagement in various forms of physical activity is associated with increased life expectancy and a reduced risk of death from different causes. The greatest benefits come not only from the amount of exercise, but also from incorporating a variety of activities.
Scientists have discovered a previously unknown intracellular system that speeds up the delivery of proteins to the leading edge of the cell. This finding changes our understanding of the mechanisms behind cell movement, cancer spread, and wound healing, and could also lead to new strategies for combating tumors.
A new study has shown that following the updated Nordic nutrition guidelines is associated with a reduced risk of premature death and has a positive impact on both health and the environment.
Scientists have discovered a molecule produced by certain cancer cells that helps the brain clear out harmful proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease. This finding could lead to new approaches in the prevention of neurodegenerative disorders.
Researchers at KAIST have developed a method that allows macrophages to be reprogrammed directly within tumors, turning them into active cancer fighters. This approach could enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy and simplify the treatment of complex types of tumors.
A new study has shown that the T-cell receptor remains closed until it encounters an antigen, rather than always being open as previously believed. This discovery could help improve immunotherapy and vaccine development.
Prolonged exposure to polluted air significantly reduces the positive effects of regular physical exercise, especially when PM2.5 particle levels are high. Nevertheless, physical activity remains beneficial, and improving air quality can greatly enhance its health benefits.
A new study has shown that urolithin A, a compound produced in the gut when consuming pomegranates and nuts, can rejuvenate the immune system and boost its effectiveness in middle-aged individuals. This substance improves the function of immune cells and may slow down age-related changes.
The new HPV-DeepSeek test can detect HPV-associated head and neck cancer many years before symptoms appear by analyzing fragments of viral DNA in the blood. This approach could significantly increase the chances of successful treatment and improve patients' quality of life.
A new study has shown that the risk of developing certain types of cancer depends not so much on the total amount of body fat, but rather on where it is distributed in the body. Visceral and liver fat are considered especially dangerous.
Scientists from Cambridge have developed an innovative two-component drug delivery system that is activated only in tumor tissues, minimizing side effects and increasing the safety of cancer immunotherapy.
A new study has shown that impaired blood flow accelerates tumor growth by weakening the body's immune defenses, in a manner similar to aging. These findings pave the way for new strategies in cancer prevention and treatment.
