Social adversity and triple-negative breast cancer incidence among black women

JAMA Network Open

2025-10-14

(Press-News.org) About The Study: This cohort study shows that high social adversity is associated with a high incidence of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) among Black women. As subtype is intrinsic to tumor development, these findings suggest an early and critical source of downstream breast cancer survival disparities. The findings of this study suggest potential social (epi)genomic and gene-environment interactions between social adversity and TNBC development in Black women.

Rapid vs standard induction to injectable extended-release buprenorphine

2025-10-14

About The Study: In this multicenter randomized clinical trial, rapid induction had higher retention than standard induction overall and in patients who tested positive for fentanyl through extended-release buprenorphine injection 2. Administration of injection 2 after 1 week was well tolerated and minimized time below target therapeutic levels of 2 ng/mL or greater compared with injection after 1 month.

Galvanizing blood vessel cells to expand for organ transplantation

2025-10-14

Scientists have discovered a method to induce human endothelial cells from a small biopsy sample to multiply in the laboratory, producing more than enough cells to replace damaged blood vessels or nourish organs for transplantation, according to a preclinical study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. Endothelial cells form the inner lining of blood vessels and regulate blood flow, inflammation and healing. Traditional approaches for growing these cells in the lab have yielded only limited numbers before they lose their ability to function. The new method involves treating adult endothelial cells with a small molecule that triggers the hibernating cells to wake up and divide hundreds of ...

Common hospice medications linked to higher risk of death in people with dementia

2025-10-14

Hospice care aims to bring comfort, peace, and dignity to patients at the end of life. Yet for the growing number of Americans with dementia who enter hospice, their course is often long and unpredictable — making it especially important to ensure treatments align with each person’s goals and stage of illness. A new University of Michigan study published in JAMA Network Open finds that medications commonly prescribed to ease symptoms such as agitation, anxiety, and delirium — benzodiazepines ...

SNU researchers develop innovative heating and cooling technology using ‘a single material’ to stay cool in summer and warm in winter without electricity

2025-10-14

Researchers at Seoul National University have unveiled a groundbreaking thermal management technology capable of selectively implementing cooling and heating functions using a single material and process, without requiring electricity. The technology developed by Professor Seung Hwan Ko's research team in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at SNU is drawing attention as an innovative solution that replaces existing complex processes. It enables the same transparent silicon polymer material to be processed into either a cooling or heating surface simply by adjusting ...

SNU researchers outline a roadmap for next-generation 2D semiconductor 'gate stack' technology

2025-10-14

Seoul National University’s College of Engineering announced that a research team led by Professor Chul-Ho Lee from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering has outlined a comprehensive roadmap for the ‘gate stack’* engineering, a core technology for two-dimensional (2D) transistors, which are attracting attention as next-generation semiconductor devices. *Gate stack: A layered structure composed of dielectric and metal materials placed above the conductive channel in a transistor, used ...

The fundamental traditional Chinese medicine constitution theory serves as a crucial basis for the development and application of food and medicine homology products

2025-10-14

In recent years, multiple global studies have consistently affirmed that early implementation and management is critical in reducing the risk of illness. Food and medicine homology (FMH) products are dual-functional substances that play both therapeutic and dietary roles. Integrating FMH products into daily life will become a critical strategy for the prevention of disease and the accomplishment of “the Healthy China Initiative”. However, at present, the development and current application of FMH products rely primarily on Western ...

Outfoxed: New research reveals Australia’s rapid red fox invasion

2025-10-14

One of Australia’s most devastating invasive predators took just 60 years to colonise the whole continent, according to new Curtin-led research that offers vital clues to help prevent future extinctions of native animals from foxes. Reconstructing the invasion patterns of foxes using new statistical simulation tools, the new paper has uncovered critical data needed to disentangle the role of foxes in the demise of Australia’s native animals. Lead author Dr Sean Tomlinson, from Curtin’s School of Molecular and Life Sciences, said researchers used hundreds ...
