  • Your morning coffee could secretly be weakening antibiotics
    on September 11, 2025

    Researchers have discovered that everyday substances like caffeine can influence how bacteria such as E. coli respond to antibiotics. By examining 94 common drugs and food ingredients, scientists found that certain compounds trigger genetic regulators that control bacterial transport proteins, altering what gets inside the cells. In the case of caffeine, this led to reduced uptake of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin, weakening its effectiveness.

  • Blood test spots hidden mesothelioma that scans can’t see
    on September 11, 2025

    New research suggests that immunotherapy given before and after surgery could help patients with diffuse pleural mesothelioma, one of the most challenging cancers to treat. A phase II clinical trial tested immunotherapy in resectable cases, with promising results presented at the World Conference on Lung Cancer.

  • Blocked blood flow makes cancer grow faster
    on September 11, 2025

    Researchers at NYU Langone Health discovered that cutting off blood flow accelerates cancer growth by prematurely aging the bone marrow and weakening the immune system. In mouse models, restricted blood flow doubled the growth rate of breast tumors, mimicking changes seen during aging. The study found that ischemia reprograms bone marrow stem cells, skewing the immune system toward cells that suppress rather than fight cancer.

  • Surprising gut discovery reveals a hidden trigger of diabetes and liver disease
    on September 11, 2025

    Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising culprit behind high blood sugar and liver problems: a hidden fuel made by gut bacteria. This little-known molecule, called D-lactate, slips into the bloodstream and pushes the liver to make too much sugar and fat. By creating a simple “trap” that blocks the molecule in the gut, researchers saw big improvements in blood sugar, insulin resistance, and liver health in obese mice—without changing diet or weight. The discovery opens up a fresh […]

  • Mapping the secret escape routes of deadly brain tumors
    on September 11, 2025

    Glioblastoma’s stealthy spread has met a new challenge: MRI-powered fluid flow mapping that reveals where the cancer is likely to invade next. The innovation is now being advanced by a spinoff company to guide personalized cancer treatments.

  • Don’t toss cannabis leaves. Scientists just found rare compounds inside
    on September 10, 2025

    Scientists at Stellenbosch University have uncovered a rare class of plant compounds, flavoalkaloids, in Cannabis leaves for the first time. Using advanced two-dimensional chromatography and mass spectrometry, they identified 79 phenolic compounds across three strains, 25 of which had never before been reported in Cannabis. The surprising discovery highlights the complexity of the plant and its untapped biomedical potential beyond cannabinoids, opening new doors for research and medicine.

  • Metformin’s secret brain pathway revealed after 60 years
    on September 10, 2025

    Metformin, long trusted for diabetes, turns out to work in the brain too. By shutting down Rap1 in the hypothalamus, the drug lowers blood sugar more effectively than previously understood, opening doors for new therapies.
