Lung cancer is more likely to spread to the brain than breast cancer or melanoma. This is a big problem because the blood-brain barrier makes it hard for treatments to reach the brain. Researchers wanted to find out which cancer spreads to the brain the most and if a natural compound could stop it.
In the northwest of Iran, farmers who raise livestock have a big problem. It's not about weather or feed. It's about flies. Not just any flies, but ones that lay eggs on animals. When these eggs hatch, the larvae can cause serious issues. This is called myiasis. It's common in warm places. But what
Premature babies often face serious lung problems. One big issue is bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which happens when there's too much oxygen. Scientists are trying to understand how this happens at a tiny level, focusing on something called epigenetics. Epigenetics is like a switch that turns g
Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is tough to treat. It doesn't respond well to common therapies. But why? Recent research points to fat cells nearby. These fat cells change in ways that help cancer grow and spread. Normally, fat cells store energy. But in TNBC, they lose fat and become inflamed

Scientists have been curious about how parasitic plants like Phtheirospermum japonicum (P. japonicum) latch onto their hosts, like Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana). This sneaky plant creates a special structure called a haustorium to invade its host and form a vascular connection. Think of it like
In some places, the soil is not very healthy. It has something called Cadmium (Cd) in it. This is not good for plants. But, some plants are better at dealing with this than others. These are called invasive plants. They are not from around here. They come from other places and take over. Earthworms
