Experimental Cancer Drug Eliminates Tumors Safely
Originally Published 12 days ago — by SciTechDaily
A redesigned CD40 antibody drug, tested in a small clinical trial, has shown promising results by shrinking or eliminating tumors in some patients with metastatic cancers, with fewer side effects than previous versions, and appears to activate a systemic immune response.
Scientists Uncover Why Colorectal Cancer Evades Immune Defense
Originally Published 13 days ago — by SciTechDaily
Scientists have discovered that in colorectal cancer, two subtypes of regulatory T cells play opposing roles, with one subtype helping to restrain tumor growth and the other promoting it. This finding could lead to more targeted immunotherapies that selectively eliminate harmful Tregs, improving outcomes for patients.

Eli Lilly's New Weight-Loss Drugs Show Promising Results in Phase 3 Trials
Originally Published 24 days ago — by CNBC
Eli Lilly's new obesity pill helps patients maintain weight loss after switching from injections like Wegovy and Zepbound, with promising trial results suggesting it could serve as a needle-free long-term treatment option, potentially capturing significant market share in the growing weight loss drug industry.
mRNA Therapy Revitalizes Aging Immune System and Enhances Disease Response
Originally Published 25 days ago — by Nature
The study presents a novel approach to counteract immune decline in aging by using mRNA delivered to the liver to produce key immune factors (DLL1, FLT3-L, IL-7), which rejuvenates T cell production, enhances vaccine responses, and improves tumor immunotherapy efficacy in aged mice, without adverse effects or autoimmunity.
Fasting Enhances Breast Cancer Treatment Through Hormonal Activation
Originally Published 27 days ago — by Nature
A study in mice reveals that fasting enhances breast cancer treatment by affecting hormone signaling pathways and gene expression, potentially improving therapy outcomes and delaying resistance.
New Drug Shows Promise in Reducing Breast Cancer Risk in Women
Originally Published 2 months ago — by Nature
The BC-APPS1 study demonstrates that 12 weeks of ulipristal acetate, an anti-progestin, reduces breast epithelial proliferation, luminal progenitor cell activity, and mammographic density in women at increased breast cancer risk, partly by remodeling the extracellular matrix and decreasing tissue stiffness, suggesting potential for breast cancer prevention.
Amazon Scorpion Venom Offers Hope for Breast Cancer Treatment
Originally Published 2 months ago — by SciTechDaily
Researchers in Brazil have discovered a molecule in Amazonian scorpion venom that shows promise as a new breast cancer treatment, similar to existing chemotherapy drugs, and are exploring its potential through heterologous expression and further studies. The article also highlights advances in biopharmaceuticals, cancer diagnostics, and immunotherapy from Brazilian research institutions.
GLP-1 Drugs Show Promise in Reducing Alcohol Cravings and Use
Originally Published 2 months ago — by Hacker News
The article discusses emerging evidence that GLP-1 therapeutics, like tirzepatide and retatrutide, may reduce addictive behaviors beyond weight loss, potentially by influencing brain energy and reward systems, and questions traditional notions of addiction and character traits like grit.
