Researchers at UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center found that drug selpercatinib can reduce the risk of lung cancer returning in patients with a rare subtype of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. This could offer a new treatment option.

Selpercatinib, a highly selective, potent, and central nervous system–penetrant rearranged during transfection (RET) inhibitor, is approved for RET fusion–positive advanced or metastatic non–small-...

A team at Northwestern Medicine found that L-2-hydroxyglutarate, a compound associated with rare disorders, acts as a signaling and helps regulate expression. Some metabolites thought to be toxic may have crucial functions.

l-2-Hydroxyglutarate is identified as a legitimate physiological signalling metabolite, and control of its levels is essential for postnatal growth and survival and correct renal development and function.

Researchers at Medizinische Universität Wien identified a previously underestimated mechanism by which breast evade the system. The process was given the name Sialylation, and involves a sugar modification on the surface of tumor cells, impairing communication.

Tumor sialylation has been associated with different mechanisms of immune evasion. Here the authors show that tumor sialylation regulates G-CSF stability to promote neutrophil-mediated immunosuppression as well dampens tumor cell immunogenicity by limiting MHC-I surface expression, limiting anti-tum...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine found from one parent can sometimes silence those inherited from the other, with effects that could persist for generations! It is called and challenges the conventional view of inheritance.

Odd phenomenon first seen in plants could explain puzzling disease inheritance patterns

A team at Columbia University Irving Medical Center found the NFIL3 plays a role in causing CAR T-cells to become "exhausted" and lose effectiveness. When NFIL3 is deactivated, they are functional for longer, proliferate more effectively, & have stronger antitumor activity.

CAR T-cell therapy is considered a milestone in personalized cancer treatment. In this approach, a patient's own immune cells are genetically modified to recognize and destroy tumor cells. While it has already shown impressive success in certain blood cancers, its effectiveness against solid tumors....

A team of researchers at Northwestern University discovered unfolds through a domino-like sequence, beginning with the breakdown of motor followed by an response. Their finding helps explain why the disease worsens, and why some progress faster.

This study reveals that the immune system has a role in driving ALS. These findings link blood immune changes to spinal cord damage and suggest personalized treatments targeting specific immune pathways.
