The American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) applauded today’s introduction of bipartisan federal legislation to address critical flaws in the prior authorization process. “The prior authorization system in its current form is ineffective and harmful to patients, creating unnecessary delays to lifesaving cancer treatments and distress for the people who need them,” said Jeff M. Michalski, MD, MBA, FASTRO, Chair of the ASTRO Board of Directors.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Sibylla Biotech today announced a strategic collaboration agreement to discover and develop novel small-molecule cancer therapies known as folding interfering degraders (FIDs), which disrupt the proper folding of target proteins and lead to their degradation.
Times Higher Education once again recognized Arizona State University for its commitment to assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves through its Impact Rankings. For the fifth consecutive year, ASU retains its No. 1 spot in the United States and top ten globally for its work through education, research and practice in alignment with the SDGs.
A pivotal study has identified a natural genetic variation in the promoter of the tomato gene SlSCaBP8 that has resulted in reduced saline-alkaline tolerance in modern tomato cultivars. 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.
A recent study revealed the complex interplay between diosgenin (DG) and brassinosteroids (BRs) in Dioscorea zingiberensis. By integrating genome-wide methylation, transcriptome, and metabolite data, researchers constructed a regulatory network showing how DG and BRs balance each other. These findings offer new insights into plant secondary metabolism and potential for enhancing DG production for steroid hormone drugs.

Clouds of gas in a distant galaxy are being pushed faster and faster — at more than 10,000 miles per second — out among neighboring stars by blasts of radiation from the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s center. It’s a discovery that helps illuminate the way active black holes can continuously shape their galaxies by spurring on or snuffing out the development of new stars.
Sepsis – the leading cause of mortality in children around the world – can present with a wide range of signs and symptoms, making a one-size-fits-all treatment strategy ineffective. Pursuing a precision medicine approach for pediatric sepsis, researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze a large set of clinical data and find a distinct group of patients who might respond better to targeted treatments.
