A study led by University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers demonstrates that their nanoparticle-based vaccine can effectively prevent melanoma, pancreatic and triple-negative breast cancer in mice. Not only did up to 88% of the vaccinated mice remain tumor-free (depending on the cancer), but the vaccine reduced—and in some cases completely prevented—the cancer’s spread.
A research team in Japan has developed an innovative system that can accurately detect genetic mutations in brain tumors within just 25 minutes. Genetic mutations are crucial markers for diagnosis of brain tumors.
Even though electronic cigarettes do not contain any illicit substances, the liquid can cause serious health problems. Often, the nicotine concentration in these products is several times higher than in conventional cigarettes, promoting rapid addiction.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the cells that produce insulin—a critical hormone that regulates blood sugar in the body. Scientists at Scripps Research have discovered a new kind of cell that helps protect insulin production, paving the way to understanding how researchers could prevent or reverse type 1 diabetes.
The ticking of the biological clock is especially loud in the ovaries—the organs that store and release a woman’s eggs. From age 25 to 40, a woman’s chance of conceiving each month decreases drastically.
A team of researchers from Concordia University and McGill University has developed a “lab-on-a-chip” device that models how Alzheimer’s disease advances in the brain.
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, in collaboration with colleagues in South Africa, have investigated whether tuberculosis can be traced in exhaled air. The results, published in Open Forum Infectious Diseases, show that a new method may help identify people with infectious tuberculosis directly in primary care.
Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide insights into the earliest steps of cancer development and the role of mutations in healthy tissue.
UCLA scientists, together with a team of international collaborators, have identified a promising new treatment strategy that can detect, kill and reprogram aggressive, treatment-resistant tumors like osteosarcomas and glioblastoma.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bunkerhill Health today announced that it has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) clearance for Bunkerhill MAC, the first artificial intelligence algorithm to detect and quantify mitral annular calcification (MAC). The algorithm runs on routine, non-gated chest CT scans.
