In 2024, over 61 million adults in the U.S. experienced a mental illness and deaths due to suicide, gun violence, and drug overdose remained high. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic and necessary public health responses exacerbated an already existing mental health and substance use crises. At the same time, many people experience difficulties affording mental health treatment or finding providers. Among insured adults who described their mental health as fair or poor, 43% reported at least one time in the past year when they needed mental health services or medication but did not receive them; some groups – including communities of color, youth and young adults – experience greater barriers.

IMPACT EBC: IMPlementing Advances in Cancer Treatment for Patients With HR+/HER2- Early Breast Cancer - Moving Patient Care Forward
IMPACT EBC: IMPlementing Advances in Cancer Treatment for Patients With HR+/HER2- Early Breast Cancer - Moving Patient Care Forward
Approximately 30% of patients with early breast cancer (EBC) will eventually develop metastatic disease. In hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer, approximately 50% of recurrences occurs within 5 years of diagnosis. Many factors should be considered when evaluating a patient's risk of recurrence, including HR status, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status, nodal involvement, histologic grade, anatomic stage, positive or close margins, proliferate rate, tumor size, and the patient's age and health status.
IMPlementing Advances in Cancer Treatment for Patients With HR-Positive, HER2-Negative Early Breast Cancer is a collection of educational programs designed for clinicians to stay up to date on the clinical data that supports decision-making for patients with HR-positive, HER2-negative EBC at risk of recurrence and make an IMPACT on patient outcomes and quality of life.

New approach helps design better antibiotics to fight drug-resistant infections
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260529/New-approach-helps-design-better-antibiotics-to-fight-drug-resistant-infections.aspx
A new way of designing antibiotics could support the discovery of new treatments for drug-resistant infections.
It could also help revive antibiotics that have lost effectiveness because bacteria have evolved over time to survive the drugs meant to kill them.
Novel therapeutic agent proposed to combat drug resistant tuberculosis
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260529/Novel-therapeutic-agent-proposed-to-combat-drug-resistant-tuberculosis.aspx
A research team led by Associate Professor Noriyuki Kurita from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Toyohashi University of Technology and by Associate Professor Pornpan Pungpo from Ubon Ratchathani University in Thailand has proposed a novel therapeutic agent for tuberculosis, using high-precision molecular simulation techniques. The proposed drug is anticipated to bind strongly to the drug-metabolizing enzyme cytochrome P450 (CYP), thereby inhibiting excessive CYP-mediated metabolism and preventing the degradation of co-administered drugs. Additionally, because this agent targets enzymes released by the tuberculosis bacterium rather than the bacterium itself, the likelihood of bacterial mutation and resistance development is reduced, suggesting sustained therapeutic efficacy over an extended period.

Gene test helps many breast cancer patients avoid chemotherapy
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260529/Gene-test-helps-many-breast-cancer-patients-avoid-chemotherapy.aspx
Many people with breast cancer can safely avoid chemotherapy with the use of a gene test, potentially sparing them unnecessary side effects without increasing the risk of the cancer returning, a large international clinical trial led by UCL has found.
The OPTIMA trial (Optimal Personalised Treatment of early breast cancer using Multi-parameter Analysis) was designed to reduce the use of unnecessary chemotherapy for people with newly diagnosed breast cancer. It followed more than 4,400 patients across the UK, Norway, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand and Thailand.
Pembrolizumab combination therapy improves survival in recurrent endometrial cancer patients
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260529/Pembrolizumab-combination-therapy-improves-survival-in-recurrent-endometrial-cancer-patients.aspx
Previously, immature overall survival results of the NRG Oncology GY018 (NRG-GY018) trial suggested that the use of the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in combination with chemotherapy improved overall survival for patients with advanced stage or recurrent endometrial cancer when compared to chemotherapy alone. Notably, this benefit was observed in both the mismatch repair proficient (pMMR) and mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) populations. An analysis of the study data, with prolonged follow-up, demonstrated that there was a sustained numerical benefit in overall survival for patients who received pembrolizumab with chemotherapy even when a large proportion of the initial placebo treated patients received post-protocol immunotherapy. These results were presented during the Gynecologic Oncology Session at the 2026 American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Annual Meeting.

Fruit fly study links dopamine to stress-induced sexual dysfunction
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260530/Fruit-fly-study-links-dopamine-to-stress-induced-sexual-dysfunction.aspx
Scientists from Tokyo Metropolitan University have revealed key parts of the biochemical pathways connecting stress to sexual dysfunction. By studying Drosophila fruit flies, they showed that the neurotransmitter dopamine was responsible for determining how long male flies showed persistent courtship suppression after being confined in a small space, but not whether mating was suppressed in the first place. Their findings in a key model organism illuminate neurobiological factors causing sexual dysfunction in other organisms, including humans.
Could guava juice help prevent anemia?
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260529/Could-guava-juice-help-prevent-anemia.aspx
An inexpensive tropical fruit may help tackle one of the world's most common nutritional deficiencies, with researchers finding that guava juice can significantly improve hemoglobin levels in women and girls.
A systematic review from Indonesia, published in the journal BMJ Nutrition, Prevention & Health, indicates that adding guava juice to the diet could boost hemoglobin levels in adolescent girls and pregnant women. This could potentially offer a low-cost dietary complement to iron supplementation, given the high prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia among females, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

Which Patients With Early HCC Should Undergo Resection? Daniela Barros l Medscape Europe May 29, 2026
https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/which-patients-early-hcc-should-undergo-resection-2026a1000hwk
For years, patients with early-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who had multiple liver nodules were typically referred for less-invasive locoregional therapies such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE). The logic seemed sound: to avoid surgical trauma in people who often already have cirrhosis or limited liver function. Now, a new national multicenter meta-analysis suggests that, in carefully selected patients, this approach may need to be reconsidered.

The human brain contains roughly one hundred billion neurons arranged in extremely intricate networks that generate every thought, memory, emotion, and dream, and coordinate our ability to perceive, respond to, and interact with the world. These remarkable capabilities are only possible if neurons can efficiently coordinate with other cells in the network, using specialized junctions known as synapses.

Scientists at the University of Oxford are developing an experimental Ebola vaccine that could be ready for clinical trials within two to three months, as health authorities race to contain an outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo that has caused around 750 suspected cases and 177 deaths. The outbreak, driven by the rare Bundibugyo strain of Ebola has been classified by the World Health Organization as a “very high” risk nationally, with a declared public health emergency of international concern. The Oxford team’s candidate uses the ChAdOx1 viral vector platform, previously deployed in the COVID-19 vaccine developed with AstraZeneca, to deliver genetic material from the Bundibugyo virus via a modified chimpanzee cold virus that cannot cause disease but trains the immune system to recognize the pathogen. While animal studies are now under way and production plans are being prepared with the Serum Institute of India, researchers stress that the vaccine’s effectiveness remains unproven and depends on preclinical and early clinical results. – Bree Foster

Smarter Step: New Tech Helping Amputees
By Ivanhoe Broadcast News on June 5, 2026
RALEIGH, N.C. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — According to the Amputee Coalition, more than two million people in the United States are living with limb loss. And, that number is expected to double by 2050. Losing a leg doesn’t just change how someone walks — it can change how their entire body moves. For many amputees, years of compensating with other muscles can lead to chronic hips, back, and joint pain. Ivanhoe shows us how technology could change lives

Extreme Cells Hold Key to Pregnancy & Cancer
By Ivanhoe Broadcast News on June 2, 2026
RALEIGH, N.C. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — During pregnancy, a mother and baby are connected by a remarkable organ — the placenta. Researchers now say a single massive cell inside that organ may hold clues to pregnancy complications, certain diseases, and even cancer. These so-called “extreme cells” don’t follow the normal rules of biology, and studying them may help scientists better understand how diseases begin.

Research challenges long standing beliefs about cannabis and male hormones
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260528/Research-challenges-long-standing-beliefs-about-cannabis-and-male-hormones.aspx
The effects of cannabis on the hormonal system and male fertility remain controversial within the scientific community. A study conducted by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the Swiss Center for Applied Human Toxicology (SCAHT), provides a new answer by showing that cannabis use does not reduce testosterone levels in young men and may even increase its testicular synthesis.

Current SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) vaccines have shown robust induction of neutralizing antibodies and CD4+ T cell activation; however, CD8+ responses are variable, and the duration of immunity and protection against variants are limited. Here we repurpose our DNA origami vaccine nanotechnology DoriVac to target infectious viruses, namely, SARS-CoV-2, HIV and Ebola. The DNA origami nanoparticle, conjugated with infectious-disease-specific heptad repeat 2 peptides, which act as highly conserved antigens, and CpG adjuvant at precise nanoscale spacing, induces neutralizing antibodies, Th1 CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells in naive mice, with significant improvement over a bolus control. Pre-clinical studies using lymph-node-on-a-chip systems validate that DoriVac, when conjugated with antigenic peptides or proteins, induces promising cellular and humoral immune responses in human cells. Moreover, DoriVac bearing full-length SARS-CoV-2 spike protein achieves immune responses comparable to current mRNA vaccine platforms while potentially reducing storage constraints. These results suggest that DoriVac holds potential as a versatile, modular vaccine platform, capable of inducing both humoral and cellular immunities, underscoring its potential future use.
Hypothalamic Menin regulates systemic aging and cognitive decline Lige Leng ,Ziqi Yuan,Xiao Su,Zhenlei Chen,Shangchen Yang,Meiqin Chen,Kai Zhuang,Hui Lin,Hao Sun,Huifang Li,Maoqiang Xue,Jun Xu,Jingqi Yan, [ ... ],Jie Zhang
https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pbio.3002033&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_usNpy06_r8JkxN02BpayZ0-VnIvPr0cujvK_R21pn9qkYDKjYTaIWRFYyNHwxZ0J8vSbyhWy7aM6Sn1tIQYOdUKimlw&_hsmi=136907737&utm_content=136917285&utm_source=hs_email
Aging is a systemic process, which is a risk factor for impaired physiological functions, and finally death. The molecular mechanisms driving aging process and the associated cognitive decline are not fully understood. The hypothalamus acts as the arbiter that orchestrates systemic aging through neuroinflammatory signaling. Our recent findings revealed that Menin plays important roles in neuroinflammation and brain development. Here, we found that the hypothalamic Menin signaling diminished in aged mice, which correlates with systemic aging and cognitive deficits. Restoring Menin expression in ventromedial nucleus of hypothalamus (VMH) of aged mice extended lifespan, improved learning and memory, and ameliorated aging biomarkers, while inhibiting Menin in VMH of middle-aged mice induced premature aging and accelerated cognitive decline. We further found that Menin epigenetically regulates neuroinflammatory and metabolic pathways, including D-serine metabolism. Aging-associated Menin reduction led to impaired D-serine release by VMH-hippocampus neural circuit, while D-serine supplement rescued cognitive decline in aged mice. Collectively, VMH Menin serves as a key regulator of systemic aging and aging-related cognitive decline.

New colorectal cancer screening guidelines emphasize advanced stool tests
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260527/New-colorectal-cancer-screening-guidelines-emphasize-advanced-stool-tests.aspx
With colorectal cancer a growing concern among younger people, the American Cancer Society has endorsed two new types of stool tests to encourage people to get screened while also recommending a limited role for new blood tests many patients find appealing.
Prenatal forever chemical exposure may affect puberty timing in children
https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260527/Prenatal-forever-chemical-exposure-may-affect-puberty-timing-in-children.aspx
An EHU-University of the Basque Country and Biogipuzkoa Health Research Institute study has linked certain chemicals measured during the first trimester of pregnancy to the subsequent onset of puberty in the children.
Within the framework of the INMA project, which studies the impact of environmental pollutants on pregnancy and child development, researchers analysed the concentrations of chemicals known as PFAS measured in the mother's blood, and the onset of puberty in girls and boys. The study showed that certain types of PFAS may be slightly associated with the early or late onset of some pubertal characteristics.
Poor lipid metabolism may reduce cognitive performance in teens
Poor lipid metabolism may reduce cognitive performance in teens
A new Finnish study shows that blood markers of dysfunctional lipid metabolism are associated with poorer cognitive function in 15-17-year-olds. The findings are significant because brain development during adolescence is rapid, and protecting it from an early age is critical for lifelong brain health. Preventing lipid metabolism dysfunction from childhood may support not only cardiovascular health, but also healthy brain development.
What Does Organic Mean on Food Labels?
https://www.news-medical.net/health/What-Does-Organic-Mean-on-Food-Labels.aspx
Organic food labels reflect certified production standards, not guaranteed health superiority. Organic systems can support biodiversity, soil health, and lower residue exposure, but benefits vary by crop, region, and management.
The global organic market has grown rapidly over the past two decades due to rising consumer interest in health, environmental sustainability, and food transparency. Despite the growing popularity of organic products, which currently have a market value of over $106 billion USD, the regulations and scientific standards behind organic labeling remain poorly understood by many consumers.

How an enzyme helps lung cancer survive radiation, and how to stop it Researchers identified a mitochondrial enzyme that shields lung cancer cells from a radiation-induced cell death process — and then found that an existing arthritis drug can disable that shield. Written byAndrea Corona

Radiation therapy is among the most widely used treatments for lung cancer, but its effectiveness is frequently undermined by a familiar problem: Tumors that initially respond to treatment develop resistance and begin growing again. How exactly that resistance forms has remained incompletely understood, and the mechanisms that allow cancer cells to survive radiation-induced damage continue to be an active area of investigation.
Designing microbiome therapies at scale starts with manufacturing As the field moves from fecal transplants toward defined bacterial consortia, the technical gaps in design, analytics, and co-cultivation are coming into sharper focus. Written byAndrea Corona
https://www.drugdiscoverynews.com/designing-microbiome-therapies-at-scale-starts-with-manufacturing-17183
Microbiome-based therapeutics have accumulated a compelling body of clinical evidence over the past decade. What they have lacked is the manufacturing and design infrastructure to turn that rationale into reproducible, scalable drugs. Munich-based mbiomics is attempting to build that infrastructure.
Novel genetic target for fragile X syndrome could improve brain function Using an unbiased molecular screen, researchers found a new gene that could be targeted to treat fragile X syndrome. Written byAllison Whitten, PhD
https://www.drugdiscoverynews.com/novel-genetic-target-for-fragile-x-syndrome-could-improve-brain-function-17189
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) — the most commonly inherited cause of both intellectual disability and autism spectrum disorder — results from a mutation in the FMR1 gene (Fragile X messenger ribonucleoprotein 1). Though it’s just a single gene and should theoretically be a great candidate for gene therapy, preclinical and translational work targeting the FMR1 gene has so far not led to a successful treatment of the disorder.

You don’t always understand the impact of palliative care until you hear someone’s story.
Larry loves spending time outdoors, being with family and friends, traveling, and reading. Throughout his life, a bad cold would often trigger his asthma. During one episode, he went to urgent care for treatment, but before leaving, an X-ray revealed a spot on his upper right lung. He was later diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer.
Living with cancer brought unexpected stress. Palliative care has helped Larry manage that stress, while also guiding him through treatment options and conversations about his goals of care. It also improved his quality of life.
