More than glycemic control: SGLT2 inhibitors may extend lung cancer survival
A retrospective study offers hope
Can a peptide found in bee stings offer hope for treatment-resistant breast cancers?
Melittin, the main component of honeybee venom, has shown promise as a basis for chemotherapeutic drugs to combat treatment-resistant breast cancer
Improving memory with transcranial neuromodulation
Research shows that noninvasive neuromodulation can improve performance in memory tasks. Is this technique simply a research tool, or is it a therapy of the future?
#267 ‒ The latest in cancer therapeutics, diagnostics, and early detection | Keith Flaherty, M.D.
“Early detection is going to allow our same toolbox of drugs to be massively more effective.” —Keith Flaherty
Successful, early results using CAR T cells to treat an autoimmune disease
Engineered T cells “reboot” the immune system by depleting B cells and autoantibodies
Silencing the alarm on aspartame and cancer
Last month, the International Agency for Research on Cancer designated the low-calorie sweetener aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic,” quickly leading to concern, confusion, and criticism.
Can treating hearing loss improve cognitive trajectories and reduce dementia risk?
Age-related hearing loss is very common and has long been known to correlate strongly with cognitive decline. A just-published randomized trial sought to evaluate causality in this association. What do we know now?
#262 – AMA #49: Heart rate recovery, strength training, rucking, kidney function, and brain health
“[Heart rate recovery] is one of the metrics that we should care about just as we care about VO2 max and just as we care about resting heart rate.” —Peter Attia
