Study Provides Valuable Insights About Non-Smokers Who Develop Lung Cancer

Lung cancer, one of the most common types of cancer, has for a long time been known to largely develop among smokers. However, recent studies have established that around one quarter of people diagnosed with lung cancer has never smoked. This has baffled the scientific community as there was no clear explanation why such a significant proportion of lung cancer patients didn’t have a history of smoking. A study has now provided key insights into the factors that could predispose many non-smokers to the development of lung cancer. This study was published in the journal Nature early this month. The…

KFF Poll Reveals the Challenges Americans Face in Meeting Their Healthcare Costs

Recent polling by KFF has provided insights into the numerous challenges that Americans face in meeting their health care costs. The poll, conducted in May and whose findings were published in June this year, shows that one of the major worries that American families face is having unexpected medical bills to pay. From the poll, the research team found that nearly half of all adults in the U.S. find it difficult to afford their health care costs. 1-in-4 of those polled also revealed that they or a member of their household had experienced problems in meeting their health care costs…

Dutch Startup Develops Highly Sensitive Field Test for Infectious Diseases

Spotlight Diagnostics, a startup based in Eindhoven, Netherlands, is developing a test kit that will enable personnel to rapidly test for infectious diseases without requiring lab facilities. The kit targets infectious diseases like malaria, Chlamydia, gonorrhea and others that take a huge toll on human life. For example, malaria claims at least 600,000 lives globally each year, with most of these fatalities happening in low-income countries. Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for approximately 95% of this annual toll. The new test is intended to facilitate rapid diagnostics outside a lab in resource-constrained settings. In low-income countries, healthcare workers often administer treatment without…

New Study Suggests Concussions Could Lead to Higher Risks of Brain Cancer

A new study that has been published in JAMA Network has found that military veterans that sustained traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) had an elevated risk of developing cancerous brain tumors. Doctor Ian Stewart, who led this breakthrough study, explains that his team found that veterans that sustained moderate or severe TBIs had their likelihood of developing brain cancer increase by 90%. Glioblastoma, or GBM, is the most common type of brain cancer, and fatalities from this cancer are high. On average, individuals diagnosed with this type of cancer survive for 14 months only. While this link between TBIs and GBM…

Preclinical Study Finds a Way to Reverse Symptoms of Parkinson’s in Mice

University of Sydney researchers have, for the first time ever, targeted a malfunctioning protein in mice having symptoms akin to Parkinson’s symptoms and successfully improved motor function in the mice. This breakthrough finding could open the door to finding a similar way to treat Parkinson’s disease in humans. For more than 10 years, the team worked to establish the biological mechanisms which underpin Parkinson’s. Their interest was in uncovering new ways to slow the progression of the disease or even treat it. In 2017, they published research documenting SOD1 protein abnormalities within the brain and showed that these abnormalities were…

Clene Inc. (NASDAQ: CLNN) to Conduct Neurofilament Biomarker Analysis for CNM-Au8(R) in ALS in Early Q4 2025

The FDA offered supportive feedback on Clene’s proposed statistical analysis plan during a recent Type C meeting. The neurofilament biomarker analysis results could support an accelerated approval submission for CNM-Au8 later in 2025. Clene has two additional FDA meetings scheduled in Q3 2025 to discuss ALS survival data and its MS program. Nearly 200 ALS patients are participating in the NIH-sponsored Expanded Access Program for CNM-Au8. The analysis aims to validate the neuroprotective effects shown in previous HEALEY Platform Trial results. Clene (NASDAQ: CLNN) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Clene Nanomedicine Inc., a late clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving mitochondrial…

20 States File Lawsuit Against Trump Administration for Releasing Medicaid Data to DHS

Rob Bonta, the Attorney General of California, revealed on Tuesday that 20 states have filed a lawsuit challenging the federal government’s release of private Medicaid data to deportation personnel in June. The shared data affects millions of people enrolled in Medicaid. Advisers to the HHS Secretary ordered CMS officials to release private data, including names, immigration status, social security numbers, addresses, as well as claims data by those enrollees in several jurisdictions, such as Washington State, Illinois, Washington, D.C., and California to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The states included in the data sharing request were selected because those…

Study Discovers Genetic Mutation that Makes Solid Tumors Unresponsive to Immunotherapy

While studying why non-human primates aren’t as likely to suffer from certain cancers when compared to humans, UC Davis scientists discovered a genetic mutation that could explain this anomaly. Their findings were published in the Nature Communications journal. This discovery could open the door to the development of more powerful treatments for cancer. The researchers focused on Fas Ligand, an immune protein that helps in attacking tumor cells. This protein is present in both human and non-human primates like chimpanzees. The scientists discovered that in humans, a small mutation makes FasL to be easily deactivated by a tumor-linked enzyme called…
