Researchers have discovered how pancreatic cancer reprograms its surroundings to spread quickly and stealthily. By using a protein called periostin, the tumor remodels nearby tissue and invades nerves, which helps cancer cells travel and form ...

A fast-aging fish is giving scientists a rare, accelerated look at how kidneys grow old--and how a common drug may slow that process down. Researchers found that SGLT2 inhibitors, widely used to treat diabetes and heart disease, preserved kidney ...

A new imaging technology called fast-RSOM lets researchers see the smallest blood vessels in the body without invasive procedures. It can detect early dysfunction in these vessels -- a quiet warning sign of future heart disease -- long before ...

Two decades after a breast cancer vaccine trial, every participant is still alive--an astonishing result for metastatic disease. Scientists found their immune systems retained long-lasting memory cells primed to recognize cancer. By enhancing a key . ...

Scientists at Mount Sinai have unveiled a bold new way to fight metastatic cancer by turning the tumor's own defenses against it. Instead of attacking cancer cells head-on, the experimental immunotherapy targets macrophages--immune cells that tumors ...
