MSK's Neil Iyengar will present at the American Association for Cancer Research special conference about the risk of invasive breast cancer. A new study found that the risk of invasive breast cancer is increased in postmenopausal women with a normal body mass index (BMI) but higher levels of body fat. These findings suggest that having a normal BMI can provide false reassurance regarding the risk of breast cancer associated with body fat, and they also highlight the potential role of physical activity and exercise even in those who are at a normal weight.

Scientists have uncovered a molecule that, in mice, can promote the regeneration of the thymus, where T cells develop.

A new study from Memorial Sloan Kettering’s (MSK) Marcel van den Brink— in collaboration with Jarrod Dudakov, PhD, at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center — has identified a molecule that promotes thymus regeneration. The results could pave the way toward treatments that could one day help rejuvenate an aging or damaged thymus.
