Lifestyle Choices Account for an Estimated 40% of Cancer Cases

A recent study published in CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians, the flagship journal of the American Cancer Society, reports that an alarming number of cancer cases and deaths in the United States result from “modifiable risk factors.” Health professionals, policymakers, and individuals interested in ...

AI Model Estimates Lung Function from Chest X-Rays

How can artificial intelligence (AI) contribute to the healthcare industry? This is what a recent study published in The Lancet Digital Health hopes to address as a team of researchers from Japan investigated how AI could be used to analyze radiographs, commonly known as x-rays, for determining if a ...

Cutting Red and Processed Meats Reduces Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes

New research published in The Lancet Planetary Health suggests that reducing the consumption of red and processed meats in the United States could bring a wide range of health benefits, including significant reductions in the rates of heart disease, diabetes ...

A New Mechanism for Breast Cancer Cells to Thrive During Starvation

A network of proteins and fibers known as an extracellular matrix (ECM) provides support and structure to tissues and cells throughout our bodies. The ECM also facilitates cell-to-cell communications to promote cellular functions like growth and movement. If ...

30 Minutes of Exercise Increases Tumor-Killing White Blood Cells

A new study published in Frontiers in Immunology has shown that just 30 minutes of exercise increases the proportion of tumor-killing white blood cells circulating in the bloodstream of breast cancer patients. In the study, 19 women who had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer were assigned to perform 30 ...

Surprising Roles for the Ribosome are Finally Revealed

Angiogenin is a well-characterized enzyme that has a variety of important roles; it can trigger the growth of new blood vessels, is involved in cell survival, migration, and proliferation, and has other functions like aiding wound healing. It's been thought that angiogenin could also be related to tumor ...

How can clinicians use spatial transcriptomics data to interpret the complexity of tumor microenvironment?

Kwon Joong Na - Chief Medical Officer, Portrai

Spatial transcriptomics offers a revolutionary approach to understanding the tumor microenvironment (TME) in solid tumors by preserving the spatial context of gene expression, which is crucial for comprehending the interactions between various cell types, such as cancer cells, immune cells, fibroblasts, and endothelial cells. By integrating high-throughput sequencing and imaging technologies ...
