Treating a fast-growing cancer like advanced endometrial cancer used to rely only on looking at tumor cells under a microscope. Now, doctors use genetic testing to guide treatment instead. The biggest shift has come from drugs that help the immune system fight cancer. For some patients, these treatm
Scientists are now using artificial intelligence to design small protein rings that can fine-tune the body’s immune responses. These rings, called cyclic peptides, act like tiny light switches for immune cells. Instead of turning lights on or off, they control whether immune cells get activated or s
Head and neck cancer patients often face tough side effects from radiation therapy like tiredness, pain, and stress. These issues can make daily life harder. Researchers wanted to see if adding yoga to their routine could improve their well-being. They studied patients who did yoga regularly—includi
The film that split heroes in 2016 still feels fresh, even a decade later. Its success shows how careful choices can shape an entire franchise. The Russo brothers, who directed the movie, talked about their work during a recent anniversary event. They described how they stood firm on the story’s
Researchers have built a computer model that shows how light, heat and chemical reactions work together when treating cancer with a dye called indocyanine green (ICG). The model uses a fast Monte‑Carlo method on graphics cards to trace how 808‑nanometer laser light moves through a three‑dimension
This research digs into why some Black mothers tragically kill their own children, a topic that has been largely overlooked in mental‑health studies. Instead of blaming only individual psychology, the study looks at bigger social forces that push these women into extreme distress. It shows how
Doctors have long battled the side effects that come with typical cancer treatments. Strong drugs meant for tumors often harm healthy cells along the way, making recovery harder. A fresh approach uses X-rays, the same rays used in scans, to switch on a specialized treatment inside the body. Tiny del
Some people struggle with extra weight that just won’t go away, even with diet changes and exercise. Traditional treatments like pills or surgeries can help, but they come with risks or limits. Now, scientists are testing a gentler approach using light and special gels to reshape fat cells safely.
AI isn’t replacing doctors, but it’s becoming a helpful tool in cancer care. A big study looked at how AI helps with something called "organ at risk contouring" – basically drawing clear maps around healthy parts of the body that shouldn’t get too much radiation during treatment. These maps are cruc
Alex Cooper and her husband Matt Kaplan announced they are expecting their first child, posting a photo of the couple with a glowing belly and a caption that simply read “our family. ” The couple, married in 2024, received an outpouring of well‑wishes from friends and fans who celebrated the new add
