Let's dive into the world of General Relativity, specifically the three-space formalism. This approach, known as the BFÓ action, is a unique way to understand how space and time interact. It's like a special recipe that helps scientists study the dynamics of our universe. The BFÓ action is a type o
Epithelioid Haemangioendothelioma, or EHE, is a very rare type of cancer. It belongs to a group called sarcomas. What makes EHE unique is the gene changes it has: WWTR1-CAMTA1 or YAP1-TFE3 fusions. These changes can make the cancer behave in different ways. Sometimes it grows very slowly. Other time

A recent study dug into how DDTs and genes team up to mess with our cholesterol levels. Researchers tracked over 6, 000 people from Wuhan and Zhuhai, checking their DDT levels and cholesterol at the start and six years later. They found that DDTs, especially one called p, p'-DDT, can push up bad cho
