Researchers have discovered a way to make the immune system’s T cells significantly more effective at fighting cancer. By blocking a protein called Ant2, they were able to reprogram how these cells consume and generate energy — essentially rewiring their internal power supply. This shift makes T cells more active, resilient, and better at attacking tumors. The findings open the …

The Suspended Tissue Open Microfluidic Patterning, or STOMP device, is small enough to fit on a fingertip, and is expected to advance human tissue modeling for research on a variety of complex diseases. Credit: University of Washington The device is compact enough to rest on a fingertip and is compatible with current tissue-engineering technology. A newly developed 3D-printed device offers …

A new study reveals that restricted blood flow can prematurely age the bone marrow, reshaping the immune system in ways that allow cancer to thrive. Credit: Stock Restricted blood flow speeds tumor growth by aging the immune system. The findings highlight risks for patients with vascular disease and potential new therapies. A new study from NYU Langone Health reports that …

Obesity and excess body weight are major health concerns, affecting people from all walks of life. Increased weight brings a higher risk of metabolic disorders such as insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and even cardiovascular diseases. Among the various forms of exercise, there is one that requires no equipment, no expensive clothes—just a good pair of shoes and a little …

While chemotherapy remains a cornerstone of lung cancer treatment, it often weakens the immune system it relies on for long-term control. Now, researchers have found a way to turn this weakness into strength — by transplanting healthy mitochondria into the tumor environment. In advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), combining mitochondrial transplantation with cisplatin not only enhanced immune cell infiltration …

Vitamin D is not only an essential nutrient, but also the precursor of the hormone calcitriol, indispensable for health: it regulates the uptake of phosphate and calcium necessary for bones by the intestines, as well as cell growth and the proper function of muscles, nerve cells, and the immune system. Now, researchers have shown for the first time in Frontiers …

Credit: ZME Science/Midjourney. In a new study, researchers have uncovered how exercise might help the immune system fight cancer: by changing the gut microbiome in a way that boosts production of a compound called formate. This microbial byproduct, the study shows, plays a key role in helping immune cells slow tumor growth—at least in mice. The study, published in Cell, …

Using tirzepatide and menopause hormone therapy at the same time leads to increased weight loss in postmenopausal women with overweight or obesity compared to use of tirzepatide treatment alone, according to a study presented at ENDO 2025, the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in San Francisco, Calif. “These data are the first to show the combined use of tirzepatide and menopause …
