Light-activated nanoparticles could help surgeons see glioblastoma more clearly and destroy cancer cells that remain after surgery. Glioblastoma can spread microscopic cancer cells into healthy brain tissue, making the most aggressive form of brain cancer exceptionally difficult to remove completely. Surgeons must eliminate as much of the tumor as possible without damaging surrounding areas that […]

New research suggests GLP-1 medications may be associated with a lower likelihood of developing breast cancer. GLP-1 medications have transformed the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes, but researchers are increasingly exploring whether their benefits extend far beyond weight loss. Now, a study involving more than 110,000 women suggests these widely used drugs may […]

A tiny fossil overlooked for decades at La Brea Tar Pits has turned out to belong to a species previously unknown to science. Researchers have identified Spea labreae, a previously unknown extinct spadefoot toad from La Brea Tar Pits and the first new species of extinct amphibian discovered from Ice Age Los Angeles. Only one […]

A Neanderthal-derived growth hormone receptor still carried by some people today appears to amplify growth-related signals in cells. Some people alive today still carry a version of the growth hormone receptor inherited from Neanderthals, and its effects can be measured in their bodies. Neanderthals were typically more powerfully built than most modern humans, with skeletal […]

Researchers found that a little-known group of immune cells is crucial for keeping cancer-fighting T cells active during immunotherapy. A small and difficult-to-study population of immune cells may play a much larger role in fighting cancer than previously understood. Researchers at the University of Manchester’s Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute found that activated dendritic cells […]
