These neurons are the reason you yawn when you see others do it

Have you ever wondered why when we see someone yawn, we yawn almost immediately? Or how newborns imitate facial gestures like sticking out their tongue? And what about how we learn to use scissors or to color? It all has a lot to do with a particular type of neuron called “mirror neurons.” What are […]

Mirvetuximab: Practice Changing for Some Ovarian Cancers

The antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) mirvetuximab soravtansine (Elahere) could become a new standard of care for some patients with ovarian cancer, specifically those whose tumors are folate receptor-alpha (FR-alpha) positive and also platinum-resistant.. The product demonstrated “clinically meaningful antitumor activity” in this population, with a median overall survival of 15 months, said researchers reporting new data […]

Study predicts the country-specific impact of maternal vaccination against respiratory syncytial virus

*Important notice: Preprints with The Lancet / SSRN publishes preliminary scientific reports that are not peer-reviewed and, therefore, should not be regarded as conclusive, guide clinical practice/health-related behavior, or treated as established information. In a recent study posted to the Preprints with The Lancet* preprint server, researchers developed a mathematical model to predict the potential […]

New review examines link between HDLC and different types of cancer

In a recent article published in the Trends in Endocrinology & Metabolism Journal, researchers summarized studies on the association between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDLC) and different types of cancer to understand whether it is feasible to use plasma HDLC levels as a biomarker and prognostic predictor for cancer. The study findings could inform research strategies […]

Novel lymphoma tumor model paves way for new therapies

In recent years, innovative cancer drugs that target specific molecular drivers of the disease have been embraced as the treatment of choice for many types of cancer. But despite significant advances, there is still a lack of understanding about how the complex interactions between a tumor and its surrounding environment in the body affect cancer […]
