Differences in overall survival for invasive epithelial ovarian cancer by race and ethnicity: results from the Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium
|
Abstract Prior studies have examined survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC); however, few consider race and ethnicity, particularly disaggregating Asian and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander women. We analysed data from 18 Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium studies, including women with EOC from Asian (n = 697), non-Hispanic Black (n = 267), Hispanic (n = 492), Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander (n = 98) and non-Hispanic White (n = 12,998) racial and ethnic groups.

A playbook for the rest of 2025 and beyond
We had DeepSeek momentarily wiping US$1 trillion off the tech sector, tariff skirmishes playing yo-yo with markets, a darkening US debt cloud and ruptures in geopolitics. Yet the global equity market (as represented by the MSCI ACWI Index) has reached new all-time highs. It begs the question, why didn’t all the turbulence and negative headlines derail the rally? With surprises set to continue, how should portfolios be positioned for the rest of the year, and beyond?
100 years of US debt lessons: Will the mighty Fed save the world, again?
US Federal debt is US$36.2 trillion. Trillion with a ‘T’. From World War II, through the Cold War and into the GFC, we think there are lessons an investor can heed from 100 years of US debt. From the eve of World War II (WWII) to Trump 2.0 in 2025, US Federal debt has grown 751-fold to about US$36.2 trillion. Trillion with a ‘T’, it’s an amount difficult to comprehend.

Targeting the NLRP3 inflammasome for inflammatory disease therapy
Keywords NLRP3 inflammasome TH5487 SU0268 ROS mtDNA NLRP3: a promising therapeutic target for inflammatory diseases The NLRP3 inflammasome (Box 1) assembles into a large protein complex which triggers the release of proinflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β and IL-18, that contribute to inflammation and immune responses [1] (Figure 1). However, dysregulated activation of NLRP3 is linked to several inflammatory diseases.

NLRP10 Cleaves Oxidized DNA inhibited by OGG1 inhibitors: A Newly Identified Role in DNA Damage Processing and Senescence Regulation.
Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) release into the cytosol is a critical event in innate immune activation, often acting as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) that triggers inflammasome assembly. Here, we demonstrate that NLRP3 plays a direct role in cleaving and facilitating the release of D-loop mtDNA into the cytosol. We further show that NLRP3 interacts with NLRP10.

Carcinogenic air pollutants and breast cancer risk in the Arkansas rural community health study: A nested case-control study
Breast cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in women in the United States (US) with an incidence rate of 128.1 per 100,000 women from 2015 to 2019 (Siegel et al., 2023). Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with varying subtypes and immunological profiles, each having specific tumor aggressiveness, treatment resistances, and survival probabilities (Nagarajan and McArdle, 2018).
Shortwave-infrared-light-emitting probes for the in vivo tracking of cancer vaccines and the elicited immune responses - Nature Biomedical Engineering
Abstract Tracking and imaging immune cells in vivo non-invasively would offer insights into the immune responses induced by vaccination. Here we report a cancer vaccine consisting of polymer-coated NaErF4/NaYF4 core–shell down-conversion nanoparticles emitting luminescence in the near-infrared spectral window IIb (1,500–1,700 nm in wavelength) and with surface-conjugated antigen (ovalbumin) and electrostatically complexed adjuvant (class-B cytosine–phosphate–guanine).

Characterizing early residual fluid in neovascular age-related macular degeneration using machine learning in routine clinical practice
Purpose Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) often requires intensive therapy with anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injections. In prior post-hoc studies, early residual fluid (ERF) after the loading phase was associated with poorer treatment outcomes. This retrospective study examined the impact of ERF on vision using machine learning (ML) methods in routine clinical practice.

BPA, Parabens, and Phthalates in Relation to Endometrial Cancer Risk: A Case–Control Study Nested in the Multiethnic Cohort
Introduction Bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, parabens, and triclosan are endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs); that is, they are exogenous substances that alter functions of the endocrine system and may cause adverse health effects. BPA and phthalates are plasticizers, whereas parabens and triclosan are antimicrobial chemicals or preservatives (Giulivo et al. 2016).

It was the end of all chaos. The room was clouded with murky smog. Ling Xi had coughed herself awake. She recognized the acidic smell of waste. It’s from the Agriculture Room, she thought to herself, the air pipes must have broken again. Rolling off her bed, Ling Xi began her simple washup routine. The stream of water dripping down the hose was even thinner than yesterday. Perhaps the rumors about the water storage system failure were not merely rumors, after all.
