NIH-funded AI model predicts cancer survival from single-cell tumor data.

National Institute of Health, 21/04/2026

Researchers trained their model on single-cell datasets paired with survival data from hundreds of patients. They then tested it on clinical data from patients with melanoma or liver cancer and found it predicted outcomes more accurately than traditional methods...

Hidden virus in your gut may be linked to colon cancer.

ScienceDaily, 22/04/2026

A newly discovered virus hiding inside a common gut bacterium could help explain one of medicine’s long-standing mysteries: why a microbe found in both healthy people and cancer patients is linked to colorectal cancer. The research suggests that the interaction between bacteria and the viruses they carry may be....

Extra sets of chromosomes may help aggressive tumor cells spread, study finds.

EurekAlert, 23/04/2026

Researchers found that gaining extra chromosomes prompts polyploid cells to make an abundance of proteins, triggering a stress pathway involving an enzyme called JNK. This stress reprograms the cells...
