RAGE Implicated in Worsening Breast Cancer Mortality with Age
Researchers at Georgetown’s Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have identified a mechanism that may help to explain why older people experience worse outcomes from breast cancer. The study in different mouse breast cancer models and in human breast cancers implicates RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end-products), a cell surface receptor that amplifies inflammatory signaling, and which also becomes increasingly active with metastatic progression. The study findings in addition suggested that inhibiting RAGE may offer a well-tolerated adjunctive breast cancer therapy in older patients.

Multiomic ALS Study Links Peripheral Immune Infiltration to CNS Inflammation
A new study from scientists at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine sheds light on how amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) unfolds in the body. Specifically, they found that the disease proceeds through a “domino-like” sequence of events that begins with an early breakdown inside motor neurons that is followed by a damaging inflammatory response. Insights from this study could help explain why the disease worsens over time, why some patients progress faster than others, and how future treatments could be more personalized. Details of the work are available in a new Nature Neuroscience paper titled “ Integrated single-cell and spatial transcriptomic profiling in ALS uncovers peripheral-to-central immune infiltration and reprogramming .”
