The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global challenge. Two variants, Delta and Omicron, have raised eyebrows due to their potential to spread more easily and dodge our immune system.

President Trump’s return isn’t until later this month, but it's already shaking up the Justice Department’s ongoing cases against the January 6th rioters. Over 1, 570 people have been arrested, making it the largest criminal probe in US history. However, the election results are making defendants de
Scientists have discovered a new way to make genome editing more efficient in rice. A protein called ScCas9, which comes from bacteria, can recognize a wider range of targets in the DNA than the commonly used protein, SpCas9. However, both ScCas9 and its improved version, Sc++, still don't work very
Physiotherapists play a crucial role in managing knee osteoarthritis. But why don't they always follow the latest evidence-based treatments? A recent study dug into this question. Instead of diving straight into treatment methods, researchers first looked at what influences physiotherapists' decisi
Ever wondered how scientists are pushing the boundaries of biotin? Well, they've come up with something fascinating: biotin macrocycles! Let's dive into what that means. Imagine biotin, a vital nutrient, now in a much bigger form. Scientists have figured out how to make biotin cyclic, creating thes
These days, people aren't moving as much as they should. This inactivity is a big problem, and it's something that physiotherapists-in-training need to address.

Rapid microbiological tests, done right at the patient's side, could help fight the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. But how can these tests help doctors in the UK, working in community clinics? Not much is known yet about how these tests could be woven into their daily work. These speedy
Imagine a world where antibiotics can't keep up with the bugs they're designed to fight. That's the challenge posed by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPEs), a group of multidrug-resistant pathogens that are becoming increasingly hard to treat. These bacteria have plasmids, which are like
