New mechanism to enhance precision in cancer drug development

Researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) have identified how a key enzyme called ATR protects DNA from breaking when cells copy damaged genetic material, a discovery that could affect how certain cancer drugs are developed.

Legumes and soy foods may help reduce hypertension risk
A higher dietary intake of soy and legumes is linked to a lower risk of high blood pressure, finds a pooled data analysis of the available evidence, published in the open access journal BMJ Nutrition Prevention & Health.

Daily self-moxibustion during chemotherapy found to be feasible and acceptable

Chemotherapy-induced pancytopenia remains a serious challenge in cancer care because falling blood counts can lead to treatment delays and dose reductions, with associated impact on survival, as well as potential infections, fatigue, and lower quality of life. Although granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) can help in some settings, it is not routinely indicated for every regimen and may add cost and side effects. Moxibustion, a traditional heat-based therapy used on acupuncture points, has been studied in East Asia for symptom relief and possible support of blood counts, yet it has rarely been tested in Western mainstream oncology care. Thus, there is a need to carry out in-depth research on whether self-administered moxibustion can be safely and practically integrated into conventional chemotherapy support.

Ultra-processed foods linked to measurable drops in human attention span

New research from Monash University, the University of São Paulo and Deakin University shows a diet high in heavily processed foods can negatively impact the brain's ability to focus and increases the risk of developing dementia.

Why AI is becoming a powerful tool in cancer drug discovery

AI is no longer just a support tool in drug development. This paper shows how it could help build faster, smarter, and more personalized cancer therapies, while also exposing the scientific and regulatory hurdles that still stand in the way.

Why AI is becoming a powerful tool in cancer drug discovery This Perspective reviews how AI is moving drug discovery from long, costly experimental pipelines toward earlier clinical translation, with an AI-designed TNIK inhibitor trial serving as an important proof-of-feasibility reference point. It argues that precision oncology could benefit from AI-driven...

Enriched environments improve stroke recovery and reduce brain inflammation

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Its recovery is often challenging as most of the stroke survivors remain chronically disabled, with motor deficits affecting a significant percentage of patients. Stroke recovery continues long after the initial injury stabilization. In the early recovery period, during the first weeks after the insult, the brain enters a prolonged phase of repair and inflammation. This chronic response can strongly influence poststroke recovery and long-term disability.

The poststroke recovery environment plays an important role in the healing process. Recent studies suggest that environmental enrichment (EE), a recovery setting that combines greater physical activity, sensory stimulation, and social interaction, can improve recovery. However, how the stimulation affects poststroke brain inflammation and white matter pathology is not well-understood.

Li Xiaokun，the president of Wenzhou Medical University, led a delegation to visit Tsinghua University. President Li Luming of Tsinghua University Vice President Wang Hongwei and others held talks with the delegation. Both sides conducted in-depth exchanges on talent cultivation, scientific research innovation and clinical collaboration in the field of biomedical engineering, and reached multiple cooperation consensuses. Vice President Wu Wencan of our university, along with the responsible leaders of the Science and Technology Department, Graduate School, Academic Affairs Office, Personnel Office, Development Planning Office and other functional departments as well as relevant secondary colleges (affiliated hospitals), accompanied by Gu Wei, Director of the Wenzhou Science and Technology Bureau, Shou Yufei, Deputy District Head of Ouhai District, and Zhao Beihai, Secretary-General of the China Association of Biotechnology, accompanied the research.

The application season is coming and Wenzhou medical University officially issued WMU International Undergraduate Admissions Brochure
