New Polymer ‘Trash Collectors’ Target Cancer’s Toughest Proteins

Northwestern University researchers have designed polymer “trash collectors” that grab cancer’s most stubborn proteins and drag them to the cell’s waste bin. The approach halted tumor growth in mice and could open the door to new treatments for cancers long considered undruggable.

Brain Neurons, Not Just Muscles, Found to Drive Endurance Gains

A new study from The Jackson Laboratory and the University of Pennsylvania finds that key neurons in the brain must activate after a workout for endurance to improve. The discovery could one day help people who cannot exercise intensely still gain some of its protective benefits.

How Bacteria May Help Drive Breast Cancer

Johns Hopkins scientists have traced how certain gut and breast bacteria can push breast cancer to grow and spread by hijacking a single enzyme. Their findings spotlight a new drug target that could help protect patients whose microbiomes are out of balance.
