Buzzing Through the Blood-Brain Barrier
Neuroengineers have developed a new, non-toxic, biodegradable device that can help transport vital medications to the brain by locally opening the blood-brain barrier with ultrasound.... Read More...
Artificial intelligence could help breast screening save more lives
A new artificial intelligence system is capable of surpassing human experts in breast cancer prediction. The system provided absolute reductions of up to 5.7% in false-positive diagnoses and up to 9.4% in false-negative predictions of the disease.... Read More...
Combining neurologic and blood pressure drugs reduces breast tumor development
Combining medications used to treat neurological disorders, such as epilepsy and migraines, with blood pressure medications reversed some aspects of breast cancer in mice at high risk of developing the disease due to the high-fat diets fed to their mothers during pregnancy.... Read More...
High BMI may improve cancer survival
Those with a higher body mass index who are given atezolizumab to treat cancer have an improved rate of survival, a new study reveals.... Read More...
Report links recommended physical activity levels to lower risk of seven cancers
7.5 to 15 hours of physical activity a week can help reduce the risk of developing seven types of cancer, a new study reports.... Read More...
Tuberculosis vaccine lowers rates of Alzheimer’s disease in cancer patients
The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, commonly used to innoculate against tuberculosis and as a bladder cancer treatment, also appears to reduce the development of Alzheimer's disease.... Read More...
Your DNA is not your destiny, or a good predictor of your health
A new study reports diseases such as cancers, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes may have a genetic contribution of 5-10% at most.... Read More...
Scientists find promising drug combination against lethal childhood brain cancers
Researchers have discovered a pair of drugs that work together to kill cancer cells and counter genetic mutations that cause diffuse midline gliomas.... Read More...
Non-coding DNA located outside chromosomes may help drive glioblastoma
