Overdiagnosis in breast cancer screening may be less common than previously thought, according to a new study. Mammography, an X-ray test used to screen for breast cancer, can find cancers earlier than they would otherwise be diagnosed. It can also detect cancers that would never have caused symptoms or problems during a woman’s lifetime, an […]
Natural Compound May Help Protect the Brain and Heart From Excess Salt
A soy-derived compound may help counter some of the cardiovascular and cognitive effects of excessive salt intake by reshaping prostaglandin signaling. Excess salt does more than raise blood pressure. Long-term overconsumption has also been associated with worsening cognitive and emotional health, placing strain on both the cardiovascular system and the central nervous system. These risks […]
Could This Cellular “Cleanup Crew” Hold New Clues to Chronic Inflammation?
The discovery could offer new clues about chronic inflammatory conditions. Cells in tissues such as the skin, gut, and airways regularly die and need to be removed. Their neighbors face a difficult task: they must swallow the dying cell without leaving a gap in the protective layer around it. Researchers at the Center for Genomic […]

240-Million-Year-Old Fossil Discovery Challenges the Story of the First Dinosaurs
A newly identified mammal relative suggests that Tanzania’s possible early dinosaur fossils may be younger than previously thought. Dinodontosaurus isiyavamanda, a newly identified plant-eating relative of mammals from Tanzania, may change the age assigned to some of the world’s oldest possible dinosaur fossils. The animal lived around 240 million years ago during the Triassic period, […]
Researchers Test a New Way To Find Pancreatic Cancer Before It’s Too Late
An experimental blood test could help detect early pancreatic cancer and precancerous changes, guiding decisions about further testing. People at high risk of pancreatic cancer are often monitored with imaging and other tests that can be invasive, expensive, and limited in their ability to catch the disease early. An experimental blood test called PANXEON could […]
