Investigators at Mass General Brigham have uncovered how resistance to chemotherapies may occur in some cancers. Researchers focused on a pathway that harnesses reactive oxygen species (ROS) to kill cancer cells. The study found that mutations to VPS35, a key player in this pathway, can prevent chemotherapy-induced cell death. These results, published in Nature, could help pinpoint treatment-resistant tumors.

According to a recent study from the University of Jyvskyl, Finland, the impacts of everyday physical activity do not attenuate the accelerated hormonal bone loss that occurs during menopause. Effective bone-loading impacts are rare in everyday life. Future research should explore whether more targeted exercise can slow menopausal bone loss. The study suggests that impacts accumulated during everyday life are not sufficient to slow hormonal bone loss during menopause.
