New research has revealed that Schistosoma haematobium (S. haematobium), a parasitic infection affecting millions globally, can trigger cancer-related gene activity in the cervical lining, with changes becoming even more pronounced after treatment. Presented at ESCMID Global 2025, this study sheds new light on how this often-overlooked parasitic disease may contribute to cervical cancer risk at the molecular level.

Ever wonder why some pharma brands dominate the top of search results while others get buried? It’s not just luck or big budgetsits strategy. Imagine a doctors waiting room filled with brochures; only a few stand out. The same principle applies to search engine results. Standing out in pharma requires more than compliant messaging; it demands visibility.

A new, error-corrected method for detecting cancer from blood samples is much more sensitive and accurate than prior methods and may be useful for monitoring disease status in patients following treatment, according to a study by Weill Cornell Medicine and New York Genome Center investigators. The method, based on whole-genome sequencing of DNA, also represents an important step toward the goal of routine blood test-based screening for early cancer detection.

Researchers at Zhejiang University found that acute stress increases natural repair mechanisms in the brain, while chronic stress suppresses them. Autophagy was most affected in the lateral habenula, a brain region linked to emotional regulation. Several antidepressant drugs were tested and found to reverse this suppression, pointing to autophagy in the lateral habenula as a common therapeutic pathway in these treatments.
