Vitamin B2 metabolism helps cancer cells resist ferroptosis

A lack of vitamin B2 makes tumor cells more susceptible to a unique form of cell death. This was discovered by researchers at the Rudolf Virchow Centre at the University of Würzburg. The human body cannot produce vitamin B2 – also known as riboflavin – itself; it must absorb the important substance through diet. The … Read more

Combined CDK4/6 and EGFR inhibition improves pancreatic cancer therapy

Clinically available KRAS inhibitors mainly target G12C, which is rare in PDAC and often acquires resistance. Oncogenic KRAS inactivates RB1 via CDK4/6, while RB1 mutation is rare. Thus, CDK4/6 inhibition offers an indirect strategy to counter KRAS-driven malignancy without direct KRAS targeting. Virtually all pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDACs) are initiated by activating mutations in the … Read more

Dietary fat ratios impact the strength of immune cells and ability to fight disease

The types of fats we consume directly impacts the survival and strength of the body’s immune cells and ability to fight disease, researchers have found. A University of Queensland team led an international collaboration that found diet could change the fat composition inside T cells – the immune cells that help protect a person from … Read more

Chlamydia pneumoniae found in the eye may aggravate Alzheimer’s disease

Chlamydia pneumoniae—a common bacterium that causes pneumonia and sinus infections—can linger in the eye and brain for years and may aggravate Alzheimer’s disease, according to a study from Cedars-Sinai. Published in Nature Communications, the discovery suggests this bacterium can amplify Alzheimer’s disease and points to potential interventions including inflammation-limiting therapies and early antibiotic treatment. The study … Read more

Eosinophils suppress tumor growth and recurrence in chordoma

Chordoma is a rare tumor characterized by poor prognosis, limited therapeutic options, and a high rate of recurrence. Despite advances in oncology, effective treatments for chordoma remain limited. Resistance to conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy restricts therapeutic options, and surgical treatment is often challenging due to the tumor’s proximity to critical anatomical structures. Consequently, identifying novel … Read more

Soluble E-cadherin drives brain metastasis in aggressive inflammatory breast cancer

Researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a targetable driver of brain metastases in patients with aggressive inflammatory breast cancer. The study uncovers a novel role for soluble E-cadherin (sEcad) in promoting tumor invasion while resisting cancer cell death and triggering brain inflammation via the CXCR2 signaling pathway. The results … Read more
