A groundbreaking study reveals that cancer patients who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine within 100 days of starting immunotherapy lived dramatically longer than those who didn’t. Researchers from the University of Florida and MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that the vaccine’s immune-activating properties may boost cancer-fighting responses, acting like a nonspecific “flare” that reawakens the immune system.

Scientists have found a new way to stop cancer growth without damaging healthy cells. Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute and Vividion Therapeutics discovered a compound that blocks the signal telling cancer cells to grow and divide. The treatment worked in mice with lung and breast tumors and didn’t cause harmful side effects seen in earlier drugs. Now entering human trials, this breakthrough could open the door to safer, more... Read more ›

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have uncovered a surprising quantum effect inside an organic material, something once thought impossible outside metals. The team found that a special molecule can turn light into electricity with incredible efficiency, using a hidden quantum behavior unseen in such materials before. This breakthrough could lead to simpler, lighter, and cheaper solar panels. Read more ›

SuperAgers defy normal aging by keeping sharp memories and healthy brains well into their 80s. Northwestern scientists discovered that these individuals either resist the buildup of harmful brain proteins or remain unaffected by them. Their brains stay structurally youthful, and their strong social lives may help protect cognition. The findings could inspire new ways to delay or prevent dementia. Read more ›

Scientists from NASA and Chalmers University have discovered that incompatible substances can mix on Titan’s icy surface, breaking the “like dissolves like” rule of chemistry. Under ultra-cold conditions, hydrogen cyanide can form stable crystals with methane and ethane. This surprising reaction could help explain Titan’s mysterious landscapes and offer clues to how life’s building blocks formed. Read more ›

A major collaboration between UC San Diego and 23andMe identified genes that shape cannabis use behaviors. The study linked the CADM2 and GRM3 genes to cannabis use and connected these patterns to more than 100 traits across mental and physical health. Researchers say understanding these genetic influences could help prevent cannabis use disorder and guide future therapies. Read more ›

Scientists discovered that lean pork builds muscle more effectively post-workout than high-fat pork, even with identical protein levels. Using advanced tracking techniques, they found that fat content blunted the body’s muscle-building response. The results contradict previous findings about fattier foods enhancing synthesis, suggesting that food form and processing matter. Read more ›

Groundbreaking research shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in sperm become more common—not just from random chance, but because some are naturally favored. Advanced sequencing revealed dozens of genes under selective pressure, many linked to serious disorders. The work reveals how evolution inside the testes can quietly shape the next generation’s genetic health. Read more ›

Scientists have found that preserving lymph nodes during cancer surgery could dramatically improve how patients respond to immunotherapy. The research shows that lymph nodes are essential for training and sustaining cancer-fighting T cells. Removing them may unintentionally weaken the immune response, while keeping them intact could help unlock stronger, longer-lasting treatments. Read more ›
