New research has found that Y chromosome loss occurs in healthy-seeming tissue before tumors begin to form, making the loss of a hormone an early indicator of cancer danger.

In a new study published in Nature, Allen Institute scientists used a combination of brain imaging, neural recordings, genetic tools, and behavioral experiments in mice to illustrate that the locus coeruleus (LC), or the "blue place", transmits multiple signals through distinct routes with great precision depending on what the mouse experiences. Researchers also uncovered the longest measured neuron in the mouse and cells connected to learning.

New research is changing what we know about breast, lung, and prostate cancers. On Thursday, October 1, the Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology will host a public webinar highlighting key findings from Alliance and Alliance Foundation Trials (AFT) studies presented at the 2026 American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.
