Evidence date ·Immune-marker results can differ between an original tumor and its metastasis
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review estimated that PD-L1 test results differed in about one in five primary tumor–metastasis pairs, raising questions about relying on the original biopsy alone.
-
Evidence date ·What a 19-study analysis found about added immune-cell treatment for advanced liver cancer
Review or Meta-AnalysisAcross 19 studies, added immune-cell treatment was linked to more complete tumor responses and lower rates of death or progression during follow-up.
-
Evidence date ·What can a melanoma-looking spot reveal after immunotherapy?
Review or Meta-AnalysisIn 10 patients, biopsies of melanoma-like lesions found pigment-filled cells but no living melanoma cells in the sample; some patients still had progression.
-
Evidence date ·How do breast cancer risk genes relate to treatment when tumors vary?
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 survey covers BRCA1’s roles in cell division and DNA-damage response, and why tumor diversity complicates breast cancer treatment research.

Evidence date ·What the mulberry review found about movement, memory and stroke
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 47-study review reported better Parkinson-like movement with fruit extracts and greater drug-induced immobility with a leaf extract in separate animal experiments.
-
Evidence date ·Looking at T-cell proteins to understand dysfunction inside tumors
Review or Meta-AnalysisA 2021 review explores how mass spectrometry could measure many proteins at once to study T-cell dysfunction inside tumors.
-
Evidence date ·What lets an experimental repair liquid move below concrete’s surface?
PreprintIn laboratory tests, a silica-based repair liquid entered porous concrete samples more readily than denser ones. Heating curves suggested changes in the binder.

Evidence date ·Why some thyroid tumors stop absorbing radioactive iodine—and what might restore it
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review describes restored iodine uptake in small patient groups and why tumor genetics matter. The findings do not establish lasting benefit for everyone.
-
Evidence date ·How does an internal pattern change the way a material crumples?
Review or Meta-AnalysisA review cites an equal-mass crash-box comparison to show why internal patterns matter for energy absorption. It cannot establish whole-vehicle safety.

Evidence date ·What porous crystal composites could do for energy and cleanup
Review or Meta-AnalysisThe July 2026 review explains how added materials can help porous crystals absorb light, separate charges, and drive reactions. Stability and scale remain hurdles.
