Fish oil may increase CTE risk after brain injury

Nick Wurm — Tue, 07 Apr 2026 11:30:07 +0000

Neurodegenerative conditions like chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) are often called a silent pandemic. Even so-called “mild” concussions, like those sustained in contact sports, may have a cascading effect over time. CTE symptoms such as mood swings, memory loss, and depression may not appear for decades. A new study suggests one common dietary supplement may, in...

Nick Wurm — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 13:00:21 +0000

More than 68,000 women will be diagnosed with endometrial cancer in 2026. More than 14,000 will die from this condition. While some forms of the disease are treatable, high grade endometrial cancer often resists available immunotherapies. “High grade endometrial cancers (HGEC) are very aggressive,” explains ��ϳԹ��Դ Associate Professor Semir Beyaz. “Even when...

Gut health à la CAR T

Margaret Osborne — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 12:30:53 +0000

Ever notice that as you get older, some foods no longer sit with you the same? This could be due to a breakdown of the intestinal epithelium, a single layer of cells that forms the organ’s lining. The intestine plays a crucial role in many health functions, including digestion. Under normal conditions, the entire intestinal...

About 10 million people die every year of cancer. It’s the second leading cause of death in the U.S., behind heart disease, with more than 1,500 fatalities here each day. Yet, much about it remains unknown. Researchers have linked some behaviors to a higher risk of developing the disease. People who smoke, for example, tend...

Metastatic breast cancer’s Trojan horse

Nick Wurm — Wed, 26 Jul 2023 11:30:34 +0000

Lymph nodes are one of the body’s first lines of defense against disease. Immune cells are dispatched from these biological police stations to fight off intruders. But somehow, lymph nodes are also the first stop for most metastatic cancers. “It’s paradoxical,” ��ϳԹ��Դ (CSHL) Assistant Professor Semir Beyaz says. “The cancer goes right...
