Studie visar att malignt melanom sprider sig mest i medelåldern

Ny forskning från Fox Chase Cancer Center visar att malignt melanom sprider sig mer aggressivt hos medelålders möss än hos unga eller mycket gamla möss. Mönstret verkar vara kopplat till förändringar i en specifik typ av immuncell över tid.

Forskarna presenterade resultaten vid American Association for Cancer Researchs årsmöte. Cancerspridningen nådde sin kulmen hos medelålders möss, medan den förblev lägre hos unga möss och minskade igen hos mycket gamla möss. Mitchell Fane, huvudforskaren bakom studien, noterade att de flesta laboratoriestudier endast använder unga möss, vilket begränsar förståelsen för hur cancer beter sig hos äldre patienter.

Researchers at City of Hope report that aging can spur the emergence of an age-enriched population of adipose progenitor cells that is especially prone to generating new fat cells in abdominal white fat. The work, published in Science, points to a signaling pathway that may help drive midlife increases in belly fat and could become a future therapeutic target.

New research in mice suggests that ovaries undergo significant changes after reproductive decline, potentially contributing to inflammation. Scientists found increased immune cell activity in aged ovaries.

GATA6 loss drives colorectal cancer spread to liver

8 juli 2026 Rapporterad av AI

Researchers have identified how reduced levels of the GATA6 factor enable colorectal cancer cells to adopt a fetal-like state and metastasize to the liver. The findings point to epigenetic changes rather than genetic mutations as a key driver of this deadly progression.
