Biocatalysis is all about using enzymes to make stuff, and it's a big deal for many industries. One cool way scientists are making it even better is by looking back in time. They use something called ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) to figure out what ancient enzymes might have looked like. T
Mental health is a big deal globally, and it's often overlooked in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. A digital campaign by the Gulf Health Council aimed to change this by targeting adolescents across four popular social media platforms: TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and X. The campaign collec
Metal ions are super important in our bodies, helping with everything from keeping us healthy to treating diseases. Proteins and enzymes play a big role in how our bodies handle these metals and how medicines that contain metals work. Being able to see and identify these metal-binding proteins in li
You know how doctors use special machines to take pictures of the heart? Well, they've been noticing something interesting about a device called WATCHMAN FLX. This device is like a little cap that's placed in the heart to stop clots. When doctors use a special kind of scan with dye, they sometimes s
Did you know that surgeons can now replace your aortic valve without cutting through the middle of your chest? One method they use is called a right anterior mini thoracotomy (RAMT). This approach involves making a small incision on the right side of the chest. But how effective is this method in th
In June, four months after her husband, Matthew Gaudreau, and his brother, Johnny, were killed in a car accident, Madeline Gaudreau shared some happy news. She took to Instagram to introduce their newborn son, Tripp Matthew. The photo showed Madeline holding Tripp's hand, breaking hearts and bringin
Have you ever wondered how doctors figure out the best treatment for colorectal cancer (CRC)? Part of that process involves staging the cancer, which helps plan the right treatment and estimate how well it will work. In Indonesia, researchers are exploring a new way to predict CRC stages using simpl
Exploring the frozen continent of Antarctica isn't just about the thrill—it's also a test of human endurance. But what really happens to our bodies and minds during these extreme treks? Surprisingly, we don't have much research on this. These expeditions demand a lot from explorers, pushing their ph
You might not realize it, but there are tiny creatures lurking in your tap water. Say hello to Legionella pneumophila, a crafty bacterium that can make your water a health risk. Unlike other harmful bacteria, Legionella takes its time. It grows slowly in both public and private water systems. Scient
Endometriosis, a condition that can cause mild discomfort to extreme pelvic pain and even infertility, is a significant health issue for many women. In Jordan, a previous study from one hospital hinted that this condition might be more common than thought. That finding led researchers to investigate
