Putting the Brakes on Prostate Cancer Cells

December 16, 2024

Prostate cancer hijacks the normal prostate’s growth regulation program to release the brakes and grow freely, according to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers. The discovery, published Dec. 13 in Nature Communications, paves the way for new diagnostic tests to guide treatment and could also help drug developers identify novel ways to stop the disease.

Researchers at USF Health and Weill Cornell Medicine, as part of an expansive, multi-institutional project investigating voice as a biomarker for disease, have reached a significant milestone by publishing the first version of their clinically validated voice dataset to an online artificial intelligence platform where it will be an invaluable resource for researchers across the globe.  

Study Unveils Key Strategies Against Drug-Resistant Prostate Cancer

November 20, 2024

An enzyme called EZH2 has an unexpected role in driving aggressive tumor growth in treatment-resistant prostate cancers, according to a new study by scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine. The results could potentially lead to new therapies for patients with limited options and add to the significant progress the teams have made in understanding how advanced prostate cancer develops resistance to treatments that target androgen receptors.

Metabolic Reprogramming of T cells May Enhance Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

November 4, 2024

Stimulating a key metabolic pathway in T cells can make them work more effectively against tumors when combined with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy, according to a preclinical study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine. The findings suggest a potential strategy for enhancing the potency of anticancer immunotherapies.
