  Every time we think we’re close to fully understanding the human body, something fresh and unexpected shows up. Recently, a team of researchers stumbled upon strange entities, or obelisks, living inside of human bodies that had escaped notice until now. These new visitors appear smaller than the viruses most people learn about in basic biology classes. Rather than behaving like familiar microbes, they introduce themselves as something different. Their discovery came about when researchers began analyzing massive genetic libraries, searching for patterns that did not match any known organisms.

  Two decades after a breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive—an astonishing result for metastatic disease. Scientists found their immune systems retained long-lasting memory cells primed to recognize cancer. By enhancing a key immune signal called CD27, researchers dramatically improved tumor elimination in lab studies. The findings suggest cancer vaccines may have been missing a crucial ingredient all along. A decades-old cancer vaccine left patients’ immune systems fighting strong—and scientists may have finally figured out why.

All these years later, every one of them is still alive. Researchers say survival over such a long period is extremely uncommon for people with metastatic breast cancer, which is why the case drew renewed scientific attention. Researchers at Duke Health took a closer lo...

  Researchers unveil a first-in-class inhibitor that shuts down a key epigenetic switch driving lung cancer growth. A research team by Professor Xiang David Li from the Department of Chemistry at The University of Hong Kong (HKU), in collaboration with researchers from the Shenzhen Bay Laboratory and Tsinghua University, has made a breakthrough in epigenetic drug discovery. The team has successfully developed a first-in-class chemical inhibitor that precisely and selectively targets the ATAC complex, a critical cellular “switch operator” that activates tumour-promoting genes, opening a novel therapeutic avenue for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The findings were recently published in the top-tier journal  Nature Chemical Biology , and multiple international patent applications have been filed. Histone Modifications as Genetic Switches in Our Cells Inside human cells, DNA is wrapped around protein structures called histones to form chromatin. Chemical modifi...

  Chromosomal abnormalities that occur during cell division can affect the cell’s health, in some cases causing a normal cell to become cancerous. The role of these aberrations in the progression of cancer, and the baseline rate at which they occur, remain poorly understood. To investigate the origins of chromosomal instability, researchers from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) created an autonomous platform to examine the cellular context, mutation rates, and triggers leading to the spontaneous formation of chromosomal abnormalities. The researchers tested the platform on cell line models that mimicked the early stages in tumor evolution. This tool, assisted by  artificial intelligence  (AI), could provide valuable insight into the molecular origins of cancer, laying the groundwork for new approaches to genetic research and potential strategies for preventing cancer. “Chromosomal abnormalities are a main driver for particularly aggressive cancers, and the...

  The combination therapy demonstrated substantial clinical benefits in trial data, with patients receiving talazoparib plus enzalutamide experiencing extended survival and delayed disease progression. Overall survival reached 45.8 months versus 37 months for the single-agent treatment – representing an improvement of nearly 9 months. Additionally, progression-free survival showed even more dramatic gains, extending to 33.1 months compared with 19.5 months on enzalutamide alone – a benefit of more than 13 months. Clinical trials found that people taking talazoparib with enzalutamide lived significantly longer and had more time before their cancer got worse. Overall survival was 45.8 months compared with 37 months for those on enzalutamide alone – an increase of nearly nine months. The time people live without their cancer getting worse also increased: 33.1 months compared with 19.5 months – an increase of over a year. “For these men, having talazoparib appr...
