My…

Research shows that breast milk’s complement system crucially shapes infant gut microbiota, offering protection against harmful bacteria and infections. This mechanism operates independently of antibodies, underscoring the unique protective benefits of breastfeeding.Proteins in breast milk boost offspring immunity by influencing gut bacterial composition.A study conducted by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has found that a component of breast milk called the complement system influences…

Scientists in Australia think they have discovered a better way to treat the deadliest and most aggressive form of breast cancer.Unlike chemotherapy, the new treatment approach kills and slows the growth of only cancerous cells within breast tissue, not normal, healthy ones.The oral medicine also targets metastatic lesions that have spread elsewhere in the body and show resistance to chemotherapy.Triple-negative breast cancer accounts for up to 15 percent of all breast cancers, and it is notorious for growing and…

Researchers have identified the likely ‘cells-of-origin’ that can lead to breast cancer in women who carry a mutated BRCA2 gene, and uncovered their vulnerability. Targeting the cells with an existing cancer drug slowed tumor progression, opening the door to a new breast cancer prevention strategy.Everyone has two copies of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, one inherited from their mother and one from their father, that help protect against breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancers. However, women who inherit and carry a…

A new study reveals that VEGF-C-producing tumor-associated macrophages in breast cancer paradoxically reduce lung metastasis and increase lymph node metastasis, offering new insights for breast cancer treatment strategies. Credit: SciTechDaily.comRecent research highlights the dual role of VEGF-C-producing macrophages in breast tumors, potentially guiding metastasis to less harmful areas, opening new avenues for targeted cancer therapies.A new study from Karolinska Institutet published in Cell reports shows that…

Scientists have uncovered how the cGAS-STING pathway, critical for immune response against DNA damage, is deactivated in cancer cells. Their findings, showing how MRE11 activates cGAS, pave the way for new cancer treatments and ongoing clinical trials. Credit: SciTechDaily.comUNC researchers have discovered how cancer cells escape immune detection by deactivating the cGAS-STING pathway, offering new avenues for cancer treatment.Every time a cancer cell divides, it sustains damage to its own DNA molecules. Researchers,…

Just as CNN’s Sara Sidner arrived in Israel to spend three weeks covering the Israel-Hamas conflict, she received the news that a concerning mammogram called for a biopsy.
