Researchers uncovered a powerful weakness in lung cancer by shutting down a protein that helps tumours survive stress.

Researchers at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Centre have identified a single protein, IGF2BP3, that links these two processes together in leukaemia cells. The protein alters how cells break down sugar, favouring a fast but inefficient energy pathway, while also modifying RNA that helps produce the proteins leukaemia cells need to survive and multiply.

Children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes are at significantly higher risk of a number of mental health issues, including mood and anxiety disorders, a study from a team in the UK and the Czech Republic has found.

According to a new study, nutrient-starved cells divert protein transport stations to cellular recycling centres to be broken down, highlighting a novel approach cells use to deal with stressful conditions.

T cells are commonly referred to be "assassins" or "killers" because they can plan and execute missions to hunt down bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells throughout the body. As powerful as T cells may be, current research has revealed that once they enter the environment of a solid tumour, they lose the energy required to fight the malignancy.

A new UCLA Health study discovered that Kundalini yoga improved cognition and memory in older women at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease by restoring neural pathways, preventing brain matter decline, and reversing ageing and inflammation-associated biomarkers - improvements not seen in a group that received standard memory training exercises.

Researchers from the GIGA - Centre of Research Cyclotron at the University of Liege discovered that the sleeping body reacts to the external world when sleeping, which explains how sensory input might alter sleep quality.

Kiwifruit has proven to be a powerful mood booster, and new research from the University of Otago demonstrates how quickly its effects can occur.

Living with bipolar disorder, a serious mental condition that can produce both manic and depressive mood swings, can be difficult.

Sleep deprivation does more than just make us sleepy. According to a study released by the American Psychological Association that synthesised more than 50 years of research on sleep deprivation and mood, it may hinder our emotional functioning, diminish good emotions, and increase our risk of anxiety symptoms.
