Two studies published in Nature Medicine and Military Medical Research link accelerated biological aging in younger generations to rising rates of early-onset cancers. Researchers found that people born in more recent decades show larger gaps between their chronological and biological ages, with stronger risks for lung, gastrointestinal, and uterine cancers. A separate global analysis identified six cancers now rising faster in younger adults than older populations.

Two innovative CAR-T approaches show promise against solid tumors in preclinical studies. An in vivo gene editing system generates CAR-T cells directly in the body, while HLA-independent T cell receptors target CD70 across various tumor types. Both methods have demonstrated tumor clearance in mouse models, potentially expanding cell therapy applications beyond blood cancers.
