A federal judge has stepped in and told the Trump administration to temporarily unfreeze foreign aid funding. This decision came after a sudden halt in payments caused chaos for suppliers and non-profits worldwide. The judge gave the administration five days to show they are following the order. Th
Cancer treatment is getting a high-tech upgrade. Scientists are exploring a unique way to fight cancer cells using tiny magnetic particles. These particles, called magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), are designed to target and kill cancer cells through a process called ferroptosis. Ferroptosis is a speci
First, let's talk about the tumor microenvironment, or TME. It's a tough place for treatments to work. Hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, and high levels of glutathione (GSH) make it hard for photodynamic therapy (PDT) to do its job. Scientists have been working on a way to turn these challenges into ad
Fire scenes are tough for investigators. They're like a giant puzzle with missing pieces. Dental evidence is a big help. But it's fragile and can get mixed up with other stuff. That's where forensic odontologists (FOs) come in. They're like dental detectives. They help find, protect, and move dental
When we think about doctors, we often picture them as professionals who treat patients. But have you ever wondered how patients view doctors online? It turns out that online reviews can reveal interesting patterns. These reviews often focus on how doctors interact with patients and how skilled the
Neurological diseases are a big deal. They're the second biggest killer worldwide. Diseases like Huntington's, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's are becoming more common as people live longer. This is where CRISPR comes in. CRISPR is a powerful tool for editing genes, and it's been a game-changer in the
Legumes, those plants that fix nitrogen in the soil, have a secret weapon: bacteria. These tiny organisms live in the rhizosphere, the area around the plant's roots. Scientists have been curious about how these bacteria help legumes grow, especially at different stages of the plant's life.
Turner Syndrome is a condition that affects growth, and it's a big worry for families. Kids with this syndrome often struggle with being shorter than their peers. The latest guidelines, released in 2024, highlight the importance of understanding growth patterns in Turner Syndrome. These guidelines a
Biliary tract cancer is a tough opponent. Chemotherapy has improved outcomes, but managing blocked bile ducts is a challenge. Two methods stand out for placing stents in these blocked ducts: side-by-side (SBS) and stent-in-stent (SIS). Let's talk about stents. They are tiny tubes that keep ducts
Biliary tract cancers (BTCs) are a group of cancers that are becoming more common and harder to treat. These cancers are tricky because they have different genetic makeups, making it hard to find the right treatment. Doctors have been looking into the genetic makeup of these cancers to find better w
