(Press-News.org) About The Study: In this survey study of U.S. adults, overall trust in scientists as sources of cancer information was high. However, a clear ideological gradient suggests the need for tailored messaging and trusted messengers to reach politically diverse audiences with evidence-based cancer information.

Researchers Identify Bacterial Enzyme that can Cause Fatal Heart Conditions with Pneumonia Infections
The Enzyme Could Become a Target for Future Vaccines or Drug Therapies
BALTIMORE, Dec. 4, 2025: Pneumonia is a disease that burdens the healthcare system with more that 1.2 million emergency room visits each year and more than 41,000 adult deaths in the United States. Worldwide, more than one million children under the age of five die of ...
Single enzyme failure found to drive neuron loss in dementia
2025-12-04
Researchers at Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich and the LMU University Hospital Munich uncovered a mechanism that protects nerve cells from premature cell death, known as ferroptosis. The study provides the first molecular evidence that ferroptosis can drive neurodegeneration in the human brain. These findings open up new avenues for developing future therapies – particularly for severe early-onset childhood dementia.
The Enzyme That Protects Nerve Cells
Why do neurons die in dementia – and can this process be slowed down? An international team led by Prof. Marcus Conrad, Director of the Institute of Metabolism and Cell Death ...
Sudden cardiac death risk falls in colorectal cancer, but disparities persist
2025-12-04
“Persistent discrepancies by gender, race, and geography underline the importance of individualized cardio-oncology surveillance, equitable preventative initiatives, and focused public health interventions.”
BUFFALO, NY — December 4, 2025 — A new research paper was published in Volume 12 of Oncoscience on November 7, 2025, titled “Temporal trends and disparities in sudden cardiac death among colorectal cancer patients: A nationwide study.”
In this study, led by first author Eric Sanji of Magnolia Regional Health Center, researchers examined ...
From lab to clinic: CU Anschutz launches Phase 1 clinical trial of promising combination therapy for resistant ovarian cancer
2025-12-04
Researchers at the University of Colorado Cancer Center have discovered a novel therapy combination that could offer new hope to ovarian cancer patients who do not respond to existing treatments. Conducted entirely at the University of Colorado Anschutz, this research has advanced from the laboratory to a Phase 1 clinical trial on the campus.
The findings, published today in Cancer Research Communications, outline a promising strategy that combines a PARP inhibitor, a targeted drug used to treat certain types of ovarian cancer, with ...

New organ-on-a-chip platform allows the testing of cancer vaccine efficacy in aging populations
2025-12-04
Los Angeles, CA – December 4, 2025 – Dr. Vadim Jucaud’s lab at the Terasaki Institute has introduced a new organ-on-a-chip platform that recapitulates age-dependent immune responses, offering a more accurate testing bed for evaluating cancer vaccine performance in older adults, the population most affected by cancer and often overlooked in traditional preclinical testing.
Immunosenescence, the natural decline of the immune system with age, significantly reduces the effectiveness of cancer vaccines. Yet, despite its clinical importance, age-related immune decline is seldom incorporated into vaccine development pipelines. Current 2D ...
No, we don't need more and more data about nature. We need more people to use the data
2025-12-04
Europe is gobbling up almost 50 square metres of land and topsoil per second. And Norway tops the list of European countries with the most land lost to construction per person, according to a study initiated by the Arena for Journalism in Europe and the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, NRK. At the same time, we have never had access to more data and knowledge about nature and the ecosystems we are building on.
"We are acquiring more and more ecological data as a basis for land-use planning. Then you would think that the decisions we make ...
Research explores effect of parental depression symptoms on children’s reward processing
2025-12-04
In newly published research, Binghamton University doctoral student Elana Israel, MS ’22, explores which depressive symptoms largely affect children’s neural responses to feedback.
Depression in parents can affect a child’s reward processing, or how their brains react to positive and negative feedback. Israel and Psychology Professor Brandon Gibb, director of the Mood Disorders Institute, explored whether a specific symptom of depression in parents known as anhedonia, a loss of interest or pleasure in things, may be specifically responsible for this link. The study will be included in ...
Phonetic or morpholexical issues? New study reveals L2 French ambiguity
2025-12-04
Ambiguous speech production is a common challenge for learners of a second language (L2), but identifying whether the problem lies in pronunciation or deeper linguistic processing is not always straightforward. A new study conducted by Professor Sylvain Detey from Waseda University, with Dr. Verdiana De Fino from IRIT, UT3, University of Toulouse & Archean Labs, France, and Dr. Lionel Fontan, Head of Archean Labs, France, sheds light on this distinction. Their study was published on October 30, 2025, in the journal Language Testing in Asia.
The researchers sought to determine whether ambiguous speech errors made by Japanese learners of French could be better categorized through a combined ...
