Although white Americans have a higher rate of diagnosis, Black people are at a greater risk of having advanced testicular cancer as well as experiencing death from testicular cancer. Testicular cancer can occur at any age, but it is most common among males aged 20 to 44 years old, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The American Cancer Society estimates that in 2024, there will be 9,760 new cases of testicular cancer diagnoses and about 500 deaths from testicular

In February, Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame center Alonzo Mourning learned he had Stage 3 prostate cancer. According to his interview with Adrian Wojnarowski at ESPN , “In late 2022, Mourning’s urologist, Dr. Maury Jayson, told him that his PSA scores were “creeping up.” A rise in PSA scores can be a warning sign of prostate cancer, so the doctor set an MRI screening on his prostate — which revealed some “shadows” in the imaging and necessitated a biop

Melanoma is one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer; it originates in the melanocytes, the cells responsible for producing the pigment that gives our skin its color. This pigment, known as melanin, is a term familiar to many of us, as it provides color to our skin, hair, and eyes. The Mayo Clinic states that melanoma typically starts on the skin when exposed to the sun.

Biological processes depend on puzzle pieces coming together and interacting. Under specific conditions, these interactions can create something new without external input. This is called self-organization, as seen in a school of fish or a flock of birds. Interestingly, the mammalian embryo develops similarly. Scientists now introduce a mathematical framework that analyzes self-organization from a single cell to a multicellular organism.

Driven by an older, more diverse population, along with a significant increase in risk factors including high blood pressure and obesity, total costs related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) conditions are likely to triple by 2050, according to recent projections. At least 6 in 10 U.S. adults (61%), more than 184 million people, are expected to have some type of CVD within the next 30 years, reflecting a disease prevalence that will have a $1.8 trillion price tag in direct and indirect costs.

Blood stem cells -- key to transplants that are used as life-saving treatments for blood cancers and blood and immune disorders -- have the capacity to self-renew, but quickly lose their ability to do so in a lab dish. Scientists have identified a protein that not only enables blood stem cells to self-renew in a lab dish, but also allows these expanded cells to function effectively after being transplanted into mouse models.
