Credit: Stocktrek Images / Getty Images A new study published today in Science has shown for the first time how an acidic pH in the tissue surrounding pancreatic cancer cells triggers changes in their mitochondria that contribute to faster tumor growth, metastasis, and treatment resistance. As a solid tumor develops, its environment can increasingly become more acidic in a process known as acidosis. While previous studies had drawn a link between acidosis and tumor aggressiveness in pancreatic cancer, it was not understood how exactly acidosis contributes to a poorer prognosis, or whether acidosis was rather just a symptom of other…
Health Benefits of GrapesAccording to a research review published in 2024, dark-skinned grapes naturally contain anthocyanins, chemical compounds that have been connected to a variety of health benefits. They also give grapes pigment.Anthocyanins can disrupt the signaling pathways that cancer cells use to grow, spread, and communicate. The review notes their potential cancer-fighting effects have been observed to work against several cancers, including lung and liver cancers, as well as leukemia.Reservatrol, a compound found in grape skins, exhibits antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor effects. And proanthocyanidins, a class of chemical compounds found in grape seeds, have been shown to aid in cancer cell…
SEVILLE – It was fitting that the European Society of Gene and Cell Therapy (ESGCT) invited the noted Spanish stem cell biologist Juan Carlos Izpisúa Belmonte, PhD, to deliver the keynote address at this year’s conference in Seville. Thankfully, the police did not need to intervene in crowd control, as happened during his presentation at a conference in Boston two years ago. The interest in Izpisúa Belmonte’s research on aging and longevity is understandable. He is a founding scientist of Altos Labs, the for-profit biotech company based in the San Francisco Bay Area, which launched in January 2022 with $3…

Despite its outsized impact on fertility and disease risk, the ovary’s biology has remained understudied. Researchers charted its aging in unprecedented detail, pointing to ways to slow the process.Image credit:Diana LairdThere’s an organ in human bodies that ages twice as fast as other tissues and becomes completely dysfunctional by the time a person hits their early fifties: the ovaries.1 “If I told you that any other organ in your body was going to function one fifth as well when you were 40, than it did when you were 25, you would be really upset,” said Diana Laird, a reproductive biologist…
It’s no secret that the foods you eat have a huge impact on your well-being. Nutrition affects your energy, focus, immunity, and so many aspects of your long-term health. Yet, with so much (often conflicting) advice available right at your fingertips, deciding what to eat for your own body and goals can feel overwhelming.
Doctors should be banned from going on strike, says the Conservative Party, which has again called to change the law on the issue.Doctors’ leaders condemned the proposal, labelling it “antidemocratic” and adding that it would unfairly gag clinicians who want to raise legitimate concerns about working in the NHS to ensure safe patient care.In her keynote speech at the party’s annual conference in Manchester this week the Conservative Party leader, Kemi Badenoch, said,1 “In the NHS, industrial action has kept waiting lists high for far too long. Enough is enough. We will ban doctors from going on strike.”If the party…
