Study Reveals How Breast Cancer Cells Evade Treatment by Hiding Behind Protective Shields

Researchers have produced detailed maps of breast tumors that reveal a troubling mechanism behind cancer recurrence. The study found that some cancer cells enter a dormant state—essentially hibernating—which allows them to evade chemotherapy and other treatments designed to target rapidly dividing cells. These dormant cells were not distributed

Indonesia's Underground Peat Fires Surge as El Niño Intensifies

Indonesia is facing an unusually early surge in peat fires during the 2026 fire season, according to climate researchers. The surge is being driven by a strengthening El Niño pattern combined with severe drought conditions that are rapidly drying out the nation's extensive wetland systems. Peat fires burn

Researchers Identify Potential Vulnerability in Aggressive Brain Cancer

Glioblastoma remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat, but researchers may have identified a new approach to weaken the disease's defenses. A team found that blocking a protein called SET prevented tumors from forming in laboratory models, while targeting related proteins made existing cancer cells more

AI Model Demonstrates Ability to Detect Colorectal Cancer from Standard CT Scans

A new AI model is showing promise in detecting colorectal cancer from routine noncontrast CT scans—imaging that is already commonly performed for other diagnostic purposes. This approach could allow for incidental cancer detection without requiring additional specialized screening procedures. Colorectal cancer is often diagnosed at later stages when symptoms

FDA Clears AI Model to Help Detect Heart Attacks from ECG Data

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has granted clearance to an artificial intelligence model designed to analyze electrocardiogram readings for signs of heart attacks. The system, referred to as the "Queen of Hearts," uses machine learning to examine ECG data—a non-invasive test that records the heart&

Scientists Demonstrate Eight-Letter DNA Alphabet Could Work in Living Systems

All known life on Earth relies on a four-letter genetic alphabet—adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine—the foundation of DNA that encodes every organism's biological instructions. Now, researchers at the University of California, San Diego have demonstrated that this alphabet could potentially be doubled. In research published this

Coroner Confirms Measles as Cause of Death for 6-Week-Old Infant Amid Political Dispute

A Texas county coroner has officially confirmed that measles was the cause of death for a 6-week-old infant, according to reports. The confirmation comes after Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. publicly disputed the number of measles-related deaths reported during the current outbreak. The infant, who was
