Pistachios have attracted researchers’ attention because they naturally bring together several nutrients and plant compounds connected to sleep. Now, a new narrative review* published in Nutrition Research Reviews identifies pistachios as a promising whole food for sleep research and explores how their nutrient profile may influence processes related to sleep quality, falling asleep, staying asleep and regulation of the sleep–wake cycle. 

Results from ECOG-ACRIN’s CompassHER2-pCR trial identify clinical and molecular predictors of pathologic complete response (pCR) after 12 weeks of THP, a less intensive neoadjuvant regimen combining one chemotherapy drug with two HER2-targeted drugs. It is the largest prospective trial of this approach in stage II-IIIA HER2+ breast cancer. Follow-up is ongoing to assess 3-year recurrence-free survival among patients who had a pCR. Published in JCO, the findings will be featured in a podcast.
