Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "A New Way to Starve Lung Cancers
We may soon be able to beat some lung cancers by targeting how tumors fuel themselves. Ohio State University oncologists found that certain non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) can survive treatment by activating a metabolic “backup system.” When one growth pathway is blocked, tumors increase glucose and fat metabolism to stay alive.
The OSU researcher discovered that hitting two targets at the same time foils this survival system. The targets are: the lysosomes that process cell nutrients; and SREBP-1, a protein that helps cancer cells absorb glucose and build fats. When both pathways are blocked in test tube and animal studies, tumor cells showed major metabolic stress and cell death.
One promising aspect is that several drugs used in this strategy already exist could help speed future clinical testing. They include chloroquine and simvastatin.
This finding is key since some lung cancers don’t respond to immunotherapy and lack targetable mutations, leaving patients with limited options. This new metabolic approach could open entirely different therapeutic pathways.

A novel ready-made scaffold can guide your body as it rebuilds damaged bone. Molecular biologists at Sweden’s Lund University created a cell-free cartilage structure that acts like a blueprint for bone repair. When placed at an injury site, the material generates growth signals that guide your body’s own cells to regrow bone.
What makes it different you ask.The scaffold has no living cells, which helps avoid strong immune reactions. It is manufactured ahead of time, stored, and used as an “off-the-shelf” implant. Finally, your body’s own cells do the rebuilding once it’s implanted.
The scaffold successfully triggers healthy bone regeneration in pre-clinical animal studies.. Human clinical trials are on the drawing board.
Why this matters: more than 2 million bone graft procedures are performed worldwide each year. Current treatments often require taking bone from your own body, which can be painful and expensive. If this technology works in patients, future bone repairs after injuries, infections, arthritis, or cancer surgery could become simpler and less invasive…..someday soon.
