LMU researchers show that the structure of DNA is organized to facilitate cell division at exactly the right moment in the cell cycle.

Using the American Heart Association’s recently developed PREVENT score to estimate a patient’s 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease, researchers found that women with the highest risk of cardiovascular disease were most likely to experience osteoporatic bone fractures. The findings could indicate that the PREVENT score may be valuable in identifying patients who could benefit from a bone density screening. 

Malignant gliomas are among the deadliest brain cancers, with limited treatment options and poor survival. A new comprehensive review analyzes decades of global clinical data on boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT), a targeted radiation approach. The study finds consistent survival benefits across multiple tumor types and treatment settings. By synthesizing evidence from accelerator- and reactor-based studies worldwide, the work highlights BNCT's renewed clinical promise and outlines key challenges for broader adoption.
