Penelitian baru dari Mass General Brigham menunjukkan bahwa timus, organ kecil yang dulunya dianggap tidak relevan pada orang dewasa, sangat memengaruhi rentang hidup dan risiko penyakit. Dengan menggunakan AI pada hasil pemindaian CT, para ilmuwan mengaitkan kesehatan timus yang lebih baik dengan risiko kematian dan perkembangan kanker yang lebih rendah.

Para peneliti memeriksa hasil pemindaian CT dari lebih dari 25.000 orang dewasa dalam uji coba skrining kanker paru-paru dan lebih dari 2.500 peserta dalam Framingham Heart Study. Mereka mengembangkan skor kesehatan timus berdasarkan ukuran, struktur, dan komposisi organ tersebut. Orang dewasa dengan skor lebih tinggi memiliki risiko kematian dari penyebab apa pun yang sekitar 50 persen lebih rendah, risiko kematian akibat penyakit kardiovaskular 63 persen lebih rendah, dan risiko kanker paru-paru 36 persen lebih rendah.

Study of young lung cancer patients finds unexpectedly high diet-quality scores; researchers probe possible pesticide exposure

Preliminary research from USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center, presented at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) annual meeting, found that non-smokers diagnosed with lung cancer before age 50 reported eating more fruits, vegetables and whole grains—and had higher overall Healthy Eating Index scores—than the U.S. population average. The researchers emphasized that the results do not prove diet causes lung cancer and said a possible explanation could involve environmental exposures such as pesticides, a hypothesis that requires direct testing.

Severe COVID or flu may raise lung cancer risk years later

New research indicates that severe cases of COVID-19 or influenza can alter lung immune cells, potentially increasing cancer risk months or years afterward. The study, conducted by scientists at the University of Virginia, highlights the role of chronic inflammation in this process and emphasizes vaccination as a preventive measure. Findings suggest closer monitoring for affected patients to enable early detection.

Genes account for half of human lifespan variation, study shows

Senin, 13 April 2026 Dilaporkan oleh AI

Researchers at Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science have determined that genetics explain about 50% of differences in human lifespan, far more than previously estimated. The finding, published in the journal Science, challenges earlier views that placed genetic influence at 20-25% or less. By analyzing twin data and filtering out external death causes, the team uncovered this stronger hereditary role.
