Brain cancer research by a Duke scientist who's spent more than six decades at the university helped a drug receive FDA approval this week. Why it matters: The approval is the first major advancement in low-grade brain cancer treatment in more than two decades, according to the news outlet Fierce Pharma. Driving the news: The drug, called Voranigo, is the result of collaborative research by 83-year-old Duke physician-scientist Darell Bigner and Bert Vogelstein of Johns Hopkins. Voranigo is the seventh drug now on the market that has roots in Duke intellectual property, according to Robin Rasor, the school's associate vice...

Neuroscientists at Stanford have linked Alzheimer’s disease to the disruption of brain metabolism via the kynurenine pathway, which is affected by amyloid plaque and tau proteins. Their research has demonstrated that drugs blocking this pathway can restore cognitive function in Alzheimer’s mice by improving brain metabolism. This discovery not...

In 2006, Diana Lindsay, who had never so much as held a cigarette, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. It had metastasized to both lungs, her brain and lymph nodes. Keith Eaton, MD, PhD, clinical director of thoracic, head and neck medical oncology at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, told her that a typical patient in this situation would have about nine months to live. But he also observed that she seemed remarkably strong and vital. “He said, ‘You don’t look like my normal lung cancer patient,’” said Lindsay, who had just returned from a business trip to Europe. She was 54 at the time. “He didn’t want to take away the health I had for the limited time I had to live.”

There are more cancer types than there are organ systems, but, according to Hollywood, there is essentially just “Cancer.” Capital C. Period. Cancer-inflicted characters on the silver screen also primarily face just one outcome: death. This usually follows a montage of chemotherapy treatments that leave movie stars bald and purple under the eyes. There is no targeted immunotherapy in Hollywood. No clinical trials. No genomic medicine. Just an amorphous round of “chemo” following an ambiguous diagnosis of “cancer” that almost always leads to an untimely death.

Researchers have recently discovered a novel type of RNA known as circular RNAs (circRNAs). These molecules form when covalent bonds link the ends of a molecule of RNA together to form a circle. This can also make them very difficult to detect with traditional techniques, which is probably why they flew under the radar for so long. But circRNAs perform biological functions in different cells; they may be translated into proteins, or act like microRNAs or inhibitors that regulate the function of other molecules. CircRNAs have also been linked to some diseases, including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

Carnival Cruise Line has issued a clear statement regarding an activity that is not allowed on cabin balconies. You might think you can do whatever you want on a cruise balcony and decorate the railing however you would like. But cruise lines have cameras that are constantly monitoring balconies for unsafe behavior and people going over board.
