Scientists Discover Why Colon Cancer Diagnoses are Increasing in Young Adults

Researchers have found that people under 50 who develop colorectal cancer have unusually rigid colon tissue that helps tumors grow, offering the first clear explanation for rising cancer rates in younger adults. A University of Texas at Dallas team working with UT Southwestern Medical Center discovered that both tumor samples and surrounding healthy tissue were mechanically stiffer in younger patients than in older people with the same disease.  Physical tissue properties appear to drive early-onset colorectal cancer, which has become the top cancer killer among Americans under 50. UT Dallas bioengineering Assistant Professor Jacopo Ferruzzi says this marks the first study showing how mechanical forces contribute to…

US Military Admits it is Using AI in Attacks Against Iran

The U.S. military has confirmed that AI systems are actively involved in its ongoing operations against Iran, an admission that has added significant fuel to an international debate that was already running hot.  Brad Cooper, commander of U.S. Central Command, outlined the role of artificial intelligence systems in a publicly released video. He positioned AI as critical infrastructure for processing the enormous volumes of information that flow through a modern military campaign.  Cooper was explicit that the technology shapes the conditions in which decisions are made. It compresses analysis that once took many hours into something commanders can act on almost immediately. He also said that human judgment is…

Researchers Trace Differing Pediatric Brain Tumors to Common Source

New research has uncovered a shared biological weakness running across three distinct pediatric brain cancers, a finding that opens a realistic path toward therapies capable of targeting all three at once. The discovery grew out of a deep dive into one of the rarest childhood tumors on record and ended up revealing far more than anyone initially set out to find.  Pineoblastoma originates in the pineal gland, a small structure at the brain's core responsible for producing hormones, including melatonin. Cases are rare enough that most specialized pediatric oncology programs handle only a small number each year.  Pooling resources across three institutions, St. Jude Children's Research…

Ongoing Digital Monitoring Could Make Immunotherapy More Accessible

Ongoing digital monitoring could be about to solve one of modern medicine's most frustrating access problems. Life-extending cancer immunotherapies exist and there are numerous patients who could benefit from such therapies, but a mandatory hospital stay requirement currently makes access to immunotherapy nigh impossible for rural and underserved patients.  However, a growing body of evidence now suggests that continuous remote monitoring could remove the need for hospital stays post immunotherapy.  CAR-T cell therapies and related immunotherapies have reshaped what is possible for patients with certain blood cancers, producing remission rates that were unthinkable a generation ago. Thirteen of these treatments now carry FDA approval across two therapy categories. Getting them to patients,…
