Westlake University AI virtual-cell model predicts drug response in triple-negative breast cancer

Researchers at Westlake University built an AI-based 'virtual cell model' trained on over 38 million protein measurements from breast cancer cell lines, most of them triple-negative. Tested on real patient biopsies, the model successfully identified which drugs would be effective against individual tumours, matching actual clinical outcomes. The findings, published in Nature, mark the first time such a virtual cell model has moved from lab experiments to clinical testing.

Study identifies hidden role for cell-cycle gatekeeper protein in breast cancer

Researchers examined a regulatory protein that controls the cell cycle and found it has an additional, previously unrecognized function tied to breast cancer development. The finding, published via Nature, points to a more complex biological role for this gatekeeper than earlier assumed.

French court links flight attendant's breast cancer to cosmic radiation exposure

A court in Bayonne, France, ruled that a flight attendant's breast cancer was connected to occupational hazards from her career, citing cosmic radiation exposure at altitude alongside secondhand smoke and repeated night shifts as contributing carcinogenic factors. The ruling formally recognizes the illness as work-related.
