Salk immunologists discovered that specialized immune cells called T cells increase in mammary glands during late pregnancy and breastfeeding, and that some of the T cells relocate from the gut—suggesting a connection between the gut microbiome and breastfeeding. The findings may help explain the advantages of breastfeeding, prompt solutions for mothers unable to breastfeed, help design better formulas, and inform dietary decisions that enhance breast milk production and quality.

Published in the journal CHEST, the American College of Chest Physicians recently released a new clinical guideline on the management of patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

An AI algorithm for breast cancer screening has potential to enhance the performance of digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT), reducing interval cancers by up to one-third, according to a new study.

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the progression of numerous diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) have succeeded for the first time in imaging individual sugars within the glycocalyx at molecular resolution and linking their spatial arrangement to their biological function. The findings, recently published in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, open up completely new perspectives for understanding this important cell structure – with far-reaching consequences for diagnosis and therapy.

BUFFALO, NY – July 29, 2025 – A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on July 25, 2025, titled “Comprehensive genomic profiling of over 10,000 advanced solid tumors.”

New research identifies NF-kappa-B-activating protein-like (NKAPL) as a potent tumor suppressor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Aging immune cells known as senescent macrophages are emerging as critical players in cancer progression.
