The gene mutations behind serious bone marrow conditions.

EurekAlert, 06/08/2026

These findings identify the causative genes behind IBMFS and germline predisposition to MDS, and provide new insights into how defects in SLF2 and SMC5 promote hematopoietic stem cell aging, results that also give researchers clues for identifying the genetic causes...

Scientists unmask immune cells that supercharge the fight against cancer.

News-Medical, 05/08/2026

To make the discovery, the researchers developed the first mouse models capable of specifically labelling or removing activated dendritic cells. This allowed them to determine exactly how activated dendritic cells contribute to anti-cancer immunity.

A common sugar may help cancer cells break free and spread.

Sciencedaily, 04/08/2026

Chemotherapy-surviving ovarian cancer cells may release fructose to help neighboring tumor cells loosen, escape, and spread. The discovery suggests that sugary diets and cholesterol-lowering drugs could influence cancer progression, though the effects have not yet been confirmed in patients...
