An MSK researcher points at a medical image
New MSK research investigates how a natural antifungal compound produced by helpful gut bacteria might help protect vulnerable patients; finds that a protein “fingerprint” in blood could predict dangerous clots in cancer patients; uncovers Americans’ changing relationship with dietary supplements; and reveals how NK cells respond to infections so quickly.

MSK Research Highlights, June 11, 2026
New MSK research decodes how mesothelioma evades immunotherapy; shows why a common kidney cancer treatment combination falls short; and supports a free, open-source AI-driven drug discovery initiative.
Christine Mayr
New MSK research shows the largely overlooked "tail" region of mRNAs helps ensure key regulatory proteins get folded correctly — a fundamentally new understanding of their role.
