There is more than one way for triple-negative breast cancer to become resistant to therapy The findings point out a potential new approach to treatment in which physicians could take actions to prevent resistance, increasing the chances of patient survival.

Would a patient's #breastCancer develop #resistance to #therapy? X. Zhang, L Yu et al found a way to predict it. @jci.org @bcmhouston.bsky.social #macrophages #neutrophil blogs.bcm.edu/2026/03/03/f...

Mechanisms driving TNBC treatment resistance identified Researchers have uncovered two mutually exclusive mechanisms that can give TNBC the ability to survive therapy.

A closed tumor-immune-brain circuit in cancer cachexia Cancer-associated cachexia is a complex metabolic syndrome leading to sustained body weight loss and tissue wasting. In this issue of Cancer Cell, Shi et al. identify a novel GDF15-driven tumor-immune-brain crosstalk, resulting in altered systemic metabolism and tissue catabolism.

Tumor-restraining fibroblasts emerge after chemotherapy specifically in responders In this issue of Cancer Cell, Ma et al. identify a neoadjuvant chemotherapy-induced population of PTGER3+ cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) in patients with bladder cancer.1 These CAFs undergo lipid oxidation reprogramming and enhance CD8+ T cell function, facilitating tumor microenvironment remodeling and restraining tumor progression.

The science behind the fluoro wax tests at the Olympics Fluorine-containing waxes were banned from ski competitions in 2023

This year’s Winter Olympics was the first to deploy the fluoro wax test, which is based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to detect carbon-fluorine signatures.
