(Press-News.org) About The Study: The findings of this study that fewer than half of U.S. adults are aware and about one-fifth are unsure of their awareness of the association between alcohol and cancer emphasize the need to implement the recently updated Surgeon General’s recommendation to reduce the alcohol-related cancer burden in the U.S.

Acupuncture for nocturia in survivors of prostate cancer
2025-05-29
About The Study: In this pilot trial, acupuncture produced greater reductions in nocturia (waking up 1 or more times to urinate) relative to usual care in survivors of prostate cancer. The nocturia reduction was comparable to other treatments, such as desmopressin, α-blockers, and antimuscarinic medications; however, acupuncture was associated with fewer adverse events. Nocturia affects more than half of survivors of prostate cancer.

All-in-one model reconstructs complex liver architecture
2025-05-29
To the point:
New tissue-derived organoid model: A next-generation organoid model, composed of three liver cell types – adult hepatocytes, cholangiocytes, and liver mesenchymal cells – reconstructs the liver periportal region.
Organoid functionality: The complex organoids, or assembloids, are functional, consistently draining bile from the bile canaliculi into the bile duct as in the real liver due to their accurate tissue architecture recapitulation.
Liver disease modelling: This liver model reconstructs the liver periportal region architecture, is able to model aspects of cholestatic liver injury and biliary ...

New insights into bladder cancer treatment could help improve immunotherapies
2025-05-29
More than three decades ago, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) as the first immunotherapy against cancer. And it is still used today to treat early-stage bladder cancer.
Now, a team of researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) and is expanding the understanding of how the treatment works — an understanding that could help improve the effectiveness of immunotherapies more broadly.
BCG is a weakened strain of the bacterium Mycobacterium bovis, which is ...
HIV discovery could open door to long-sought cure
2025-05-29
University of Virginia School of Medicine scientists have uncovered a key reason why HIV remains so difficult to cure: Their research shows that small changes in the virus affect how quickly or slowly it replicates, and how easily or stubbornly it can reawaken from hiding. These insights bring researchers closer to finding ways to flush out the dormant virus and eliminate it for good.
Thanks to remarkable progress in HIV treatment, the virus can often be suppressed to undetectable levels in the blood, eliminating most disease symptoms, and preventing transmission to others. But HIV never truly ...
The purrfect gene

Kyoto, Japan -- Whether you are lucky enough to have a cat companion or must merely live this experience vicariously through cat videos, Felis catus is a familiar and comforting presence in our daily lives. Unlike most other feline species, cats exhibit sociality, can live in groups, and communicate both with other cats and humans, which is why they have been humans' trusted accomplices for millennia.
Despite this intimacy, there is still much that we don't know about our feline friends. Numerous behavioral studies have been conducted on other mammal species, but relatively few on cats.
In part to fill this gap, a team of researchers at ...
Researchers find promise in a new peptide drug to combat a deadly brain cancer
2025-05-29
A lab-designed molecule developed and extensively studied by scientists with Virginia Tech’s Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC could represent a breakthrough in slowing tumor recurrence in glioblastoma, an aggressive and deadly form of brain cancer.
In a study published in May in Cell Death and Disease, researchers identified a previously unknown trait of cancer cells that shows promise for therapeutic intervention. The group outlined the mechanism of action and effectiveness of the experimental drug known as JM2, revealing ...
