Raise standards for preclinical cancer research
Glenn Begley and Lee Ellis propose how methods, publications and incentives must change if patients are to benefit.
This 2012 article discusses systemic issues in the field of preclinical cancer research, focusing on the lack of rigor and in ability to reproduce results in published studies. Researchers from Amgen Corp looked at 53 published studies and tried to replicate their findings. They were only able to reproduce six of the 53 experimental results. This poor ability to replicate the work points to massive problems in oncology and hematology research. The 53 papers had been previously thought to have validated results and had been relied on for subsequent research.

The ROS Hypothesis of Obesity
A reassessment of insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance
The ROS hypothesis of obesity posits that excessive insulin sensitivity—driven by high intake of polyunsaturated fats like linoleic acid—is a primary cause of fat gain, not insulin resistance as traditionally believed. This theory argues that reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a vital role in signaling cells to limit insulin’s effects and prevent excessive nutrient storage. Polyunsaturated fats reduce ROS generation, weakening this signal and promoting fat accumulation, while saturated fats generate more ROS and help regulate insulin signaling. As such, the modern shift toward polyunsaturated fats may have inadvertently fueled the obesity epidemic. Dietary strategies to counter this include reducing linoleic acid, increasing saturated fat intake, or adopting low-carb or ketogenic diets to minimize insulin signaling altogether.
