Two Parallel Blood Formation Systems Reveal Distinct Precursor Cells and Immune Profiles
Two Parallel Hematopoietic Systems: A New Layer in Blood Formation In a development that challenges long-standing views of how the blood and immune system are formed, researchers at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) have demonstrated the existence of two parallel hematopoietic systems in the human body. These systems originate from distinct precursor cells and…

Why Thyroid Cancer Rates Are Rising Worldwide: Real Increases or Overdiagnosis?
Understanding the Global Rise in Thyroid Cancer Across many countries, thyroid cancer rates have climbed faster than those of other cancers. In places like the United States, the increase has been notable, prompting questions about whether more cancers are truly occurring or simply detected sooner. To understand this trend, it helps to separate real changes…

Pancreatic Cancer Research Targets Seeds of Metastasis
New frontiers in the fight against pancreatic cancer Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the most lethal forms of cancer, often diagnosed at late stages when treatment options are limited. A leading reason for its grim prognosis is the way PDAC quickly seeds metastasis, spreading to the liver, lungs, and other organs. In a…
