A personalized mRNA cancer vaccine just passed its first phase 3 test in melanoma, and that has never happened before

Merck and Moderna say their custom-built mRNA vaccine, added to Keytruda, cut the chance of melanoma coming back in a 1,137-patient phase 3 trial, the first time an individualized cancer vaccine has won a trial this size, though the companies have not yet shown the actual numbers

A gene test just spared two thirds of high-risk breast cancer patients from chemotherapy, and the cancer came back no more often

A 4,429-patient international trial let a 50-gene tumour test decide who needed chemotherapy for hormone-driven early breast cancer, and 68% safely skipped it with almost identical survival five years on

A promising sickle cell pain drug just failed its biggest test, and where you were treated mattered more than the drug

A single gut bacterium was tied to 29 percent stronger grip in older adults, and giving it to mice made them stronger too

Researchers in Spain and the Netherlands found older adults carrying Roseburia inulinivorans had markedly stronger grip, and mice given the microbe grew bigger, faster-twitch muscle, pointing to a real gut-muscle link that is still not proven in people

Heavy coffee drinkers had less body fat and more muscle at the same BMI, a Finnish study of 2,264 adults found. It cannot say coffee is why
