As part of the Human Cancer Model Initiative, scientists and physicians at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and Northwell Health contributed more than 150 organoid models to the  “Compendium of Next-Generation Patient-Derived Models for Diverse Cancers.” According to CSHL Cancer Center Director David Tuveson, “These organoids more closely reflect the biology of a patient’s tumor, providing researchers with powerful tools to accelerate discovery and develop more personalized treatment strategies.”

A decentralized approach modeled on the immune system detected more disease-carrying insects than conventional surveillance in Peru.

A protein secreted by common cancer types makes blood vessels leakier to allow metastatic tumors to form in the lungs, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. The discovery could lead to new ways of monitoring and reducing lung metastasis risk in cancer patients.

BUFFALO, NY — August 5, 2026 — A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 23, 2026, titled “Adipo-neuroinflammation, cognitive impairment and surrogate markers of cardiovascular risk in patients with Metabolic Dysfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD).”

A new study reveals important nuances in how autistic and non-autistic people understand one another. Guided by the Double Empathy Problem theory, research suggests that communication difficulties are often mutual rather than stemming from a one-sided "empathy deficit," in autistic people. Using a novel empathy test based on real-life emotional stories, the researchers found that autistic participants were just as capable of understanding others' emotions, challenging long-held assumptions about autism and highlighting the importance of mutual understanding.
