This discovery is key to understanding the genetic basis of stress response and could guide future breeding programs to enhance crop resilience against soil salinization.
A recent study found that adding anlotinib to the standard STUPP regimen for glioblastoma patients could improve outcomes. The trial, involving 33 newly diagnosed patients, reported a median progression-free survival (PFS) of 10.9 months and a median overall survival (OS) of 17.4 months. This promising result suggests a potential new approach for treating this aggressive brain cancer.

Leptomeningeal disease is a rare but lethal complication faced by late-stage melanoma patients. It occurs when cancer cells spread to the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord, or the leptomeninges. This condition, which affects 5% to 8% of melanoma patients, often leads to rapid deterioration and is notoriously resistant to therapies. However, a new Moffitt Cancer Center study, published today in Cell Reports Medicine, uncovers the mechanisms that drive this drug resistance, offering new avenues for potential treatments.
