Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is one of the most aggressive and deadly brain cancers, with a median survival rate of just 12 to 18 months despite surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. But a recent clinical study1 has uncovered a promising alternative: the ketogenic diet.
Researchers identified 218 gut bacterial subspecies linked to colorectal cancer.Subspecies-level analysis offers clearer insights than traditional species-level studies.New tools may enable stool-based cancer tests that are faster and less invasive. Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, but it can be treatable when caught early. Unfortunately, many people delay diagnosis because colonoscopies, the main screening method, are often expensive and uncomfortable. Those barriers have created a need for better, less invasive ways to detect and understand the factors contributing to colorectal cancer, including the role of gut microbes. While recent advances in technology have made it…

New certificate series aims to empower students to accelerate the translation of aging science through the power of AI. Next month, Stanford University will launch a new program at the intersection of artificial intelligence and human longevity. The AI & Longevity Lab Certificate Series will explore how AI can be applied to healthspan science, aging biology, drug discovery, and predictive modeling, with the aim of giving participants both a foundation in longevity research and practical skills for building AI-powered tools. Unlike traditional lecture-only courses, the program emphasizes hands-on creation; students will not only study the science of aging but also…
A brain scan of a person with Huntington’s disease, which causes a loss of brain volume as neurons are killed off by the accumulation of a mutant protein.Credit: Zephyr/Science Photo LibraryA one-time gene therapy can markedly slow the progression of Huntington’s disease, potentially paving the way for the first ever treatment to alter the course of this rare, inherited brain disorder.In a small trial of 29 people who were in the early stages of Huntington’s-related decline, participants who received a high dose of the therapy directly into their brains saw the disease slow by 75% over three years, compared with…
