New research found cancer-induced liver inflammation causes liver cells to secrete proteins called serum amyloid A (SAA) proteins, which circulate through the body and hinder the ability of T cells—major anticancer weapons of the immune system—to infiltrate and attack tumors elsewhere.

Black adults across the United States suffer from sleep problems following exposure to news about unarmed Black individuals killed by police during police encounters.

New CAR T cell therapy (AT101) that uses a new binding mechanism to target CD19 shows 100 percent effectiveness in clinical trials

Penn Medicine Studies Unlock New Insights Into Gene Therapy

Researchers identify the link between memory and appetite in the human brain to explain obesity: the hippocampal subnetwork is more dysregulated in patients with higher BMI, leading to an inability to control or regulate eating habits

Neuroscientists identify brain mechanism that drives focus despite distractions: it's due to a pattern of “visual-movement” neurons in the front of the brain that act as “traffic control” to manage our attention to visual stimuli

Brain development does not occur uniformly across the brain, but follows a newly identified developmental sequence: brain regions that support cognitive, social, and emotional functions appear to remain malleable—or capable of changing…

Music can be a viable alternative to medications in reducing anxiety before anesthesia, suggests a new randomized controlled study, which found music to be similarly effective as the intravenous form of the sedative medication midazolam in lowering anxiety before anesthetic procedure.

Childhood Adversity Linked to Earlier Puberty, Premature Brain Development

Adults Taking Cognitive Enhancers to Boost Mental Abilities at Work Considered Largely Acceptable by the Public

A specialized pain management program for patients who underwent robotic surgery for urologic cancers resulted in just eight percent going home with narcotics after discharge, compared to 100 percent who would have received them without this enhanced recovery protocol.
