A new study led by NIH-supported scientists catalogued the characteristics of tumors that lack three of the major markers commonly present in other forms of breast cancer. The study used data from a clinical trial of more than 100 women and represents an important step towards explaining why some women respond well to treatment while others do not.

An AI tool developed by NIH-funded researchers identified distinct cellular features in and around tumors. These features could be measured using blood tests to track and predict responses to certain cancer treatments without the need for biopsies. Learn more about the test: bit.ly/4uCkWP6
A person in a lab coat holds up a small vial of blood. The text overlay reads: "Blood test may predict how tumors respond to treatment. NIH-supported researchers developed a less invasive test that analyzes tumor signals in the blood—helping guide more personalized cancer care." The NIH logo is at the bottom.

What if scientists knew how to stop or slow the spread of cancer cells to other parts of the body? This process, also known as cancer metastasis, is responsible for the majority of cancer deaths. NIH researchers are studying this process with hopes of preventing it from happening. 🎥 Watch the full video to learn more: bit.ly/4v3fPsc

A team of NIH-funded researchers shed new light on how short RNA molecules prevent abnormal clumping of the TDP-43 protein. These findings, in cell and animal models, suggest RNA-based therapies could one day be used to treat diseases like ALS and Alzheimer’s disease. Learn more: bit.ly/43YLRtc

Low back pain is a leading cause of disability, but what’s the best way to treat it? A large study of U.S. veterans found that two non-drug care approaches, structured treatment vs. guided referrals to options like physical therapy, yoga, or acupuncture, worked equally well after 3 months. 👉 Bottom line: Multiple non-drug pathways can help improve pain and daily function. Results are published in @JAMANetworkOpen. Read more: bit.ly/3RA6lWy
