    Fibrosis Identified as a Prognostic Indicator in the Most Common Breast Cancer, Paving the Way for Antifibrotic Drug Treatments

    The most common breast cancer is HER2-negative, which has low amounts of the HER2 protein that contributes to tumor cell growth. Despite this common trait, the development of HER2-negative cancers varies among patients, so being able to classify tumors in more detail would help determine the best treatment for each case.

    The Breast Cancer Clinical Research Unit at the Spanish National Cancer Research Center (CNIO) has now found that a feature that helps predict the evolution of the disease is the rigidity of the substances that give structure and support to the tumor cells—the extracellular matrix. This causes a hardening, or fibrosis, of the tumor tissue, which affects the way in which the cells spread.

    Replacing ultra-processed foods in diet associated with reduction in type 2 diabetes risk

    Research by scientists at Imperial College London and the University of Cambridge demonstrated a greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes among people who eat the most amount of UPF. It also said that the risks appeared to be lowered even by switching to processed food that had been less refined. Furthermore, the diabetes risk varied within the most processed UPF category, depending upon the particular foodstuff.

    The Lancet Regional Health – Europe published study analysed UPF intake and health outcomes for 311,892 individuals from eight European countries over an average of nearly 11 years: in that period 14,236 people developed type 2 diabetes.

    Why do obesity drugs seem to treat so many other ailments?

    There’s a bar in Baltimore, Maryland, that very few people get to enter. It has a cocktail station, beer taps and shelves stacked with spirits. But only scientists or drug-trial volunteers ever visit, because this bar is actually a research laboratory. Here, in a small room at the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists are harnessing the taproom ambience to study whether blockbuster anti-obesity drugs might also curb alcohol cravings.

    Evidence is mounting that they could. Animal studies and analyses of electronic health records suggest that the latest wave of weight-loss drugs — known as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists — cut many kinds of craving or addiction, from alcohol to tobacco use.

    Efficient resource management is crucial in R&D and IoT provides tools to optimize the use of resources such as energy, reagents and laboratory space. Intelligent Labs employs IoT solutions to monitor and control resource usage, ensuring that experiments are conducted under optimal conditions while minimizing waste.

    For example, NASA engineers are working hard to ensure no astronaut goes hungry on the Artemis IV mission. When international teams of astronauts live on Gateway, humanity’s first space station to orbit the Moon, they’ll need innovative gadgets like the Mini Potable Water Dispenser exclusively designed and customised by Microlit. Vaguely resembling a toy water soaker, it manually dispenses water for hygiene bags, to rehydrate food or simply to drink. It is designed to be compact, lightweight, portable and manual, making it ideal for Gateway’s relatively small size and remote location compared to the International Space Station closer to Earth.
