Stereotactic radiotherapy offers long-term survival outcomes comparable to surgery for NSCLC patients

A new clinical trial report finds that stereotactic radiation therapy offers long-term survival outcomes comparable to surgery for patients with small, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients in the study who received radiation also reported fewer side effects after treatment.

Radiomics significantly outperforms clinical models for predicting NPC treatment outcome

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a highly aggressive malignancy, with most patients presenting at locally advanced stages. While immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as PD-1 blockade, have reshaped treatment strategies, only a minority of patients achieve durable benefit. Accurate biomarkers for predicting treatment response remain an urgent unmet need.

Tissue-mimicking hydrogels drive cell reprogramming via matrix remodeling

The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, which are closely associated with various diseases including neurodegenerative diseases and cancers.

Researchers design factor IX variants for short- and long-term Hemophilia B management

After blood vessel damage, effective blood clotting is essential to halt bleeding. However, this process is inefficient in some individuals due to hereditary factors. Hemophilia B, for example, results from a deficiency in coagulation factor IX (FIX), which can lead to prolonged bleeding after injuries or surgery.

What’s more dangerous, road cycling or mountain biking?

Researchers in Barcelona analyzed 149 injured cyclists and found that while mountain biking accidents were more frequent, road cycling caused more severe injuries, especially head trauma. Older age strongly increased injury severity in road cyclists, highlighting a vulnerable group in need of attention.

Scientists test whether chaya leaves can lower blood sugar in diabetes

Researchers reviewed current evidence on the chaya plant (Cnidoscolus chayamansa), highlighting its nutritional profile, hypoglycemic activity in animal models, and potential as a complementary aid for diabetes management. While promising, safety, dosage, and interaction studies remain essential before clinical use.
