According to researchers at Linköping University, patients with stable coronary artery disease suffer from silent, low-grade inflammation driven by dysregulated immune cells known as neutrophils, which fail to die off as expected even when optimally treated. Over 20,000 people in Sweden experience a heart attack every year, and while modern treatments like balloon angioplasty and … Read more
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Cancer Center have identified a metabolic weakness in the stem cells driving high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes, uncovering an unusual cellular energy dependency that could enable more targeted treatments for the aggressive blood cancer, according to a study published in Blood Cancer Discovery. NAD Dependence in High-Risk MDS Stem Cells … Read more
Researchers at Nankai University have developed a framework for integrated nanomaterials designed to overcome the physiological and immune-based barriers that frequently limit the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy. Published April 24, 2026, in the Chinese Journal of Polymer Science, the study outlines how coordinated nanomaterial design can improve drug delivery, antigen presentation, and tumor microenvironment reprogramming … Read more
People living with well-controlled HIV face an elevated risk of developing type 2 diabetes due to increased scarring in their fat tissues, according to a University of California – San Francisco study published June 30 in JCI Insight.
