In the upcoming 2024 elections, Democrats are facing a challenge. Many Americans, especially young men without college degrees, Blacks, and Latinos, shifted towards Donald Trump and the Republicans. To avoid becoming a minority party, Democrats need to change their approach. The debate among Democr
Did you know that plants might hold the key to battling cancer? Inside our bodies, there's a protein called cyclin-dependent kinase 13, or CDK13. It's part of a bigger family of proteins that help with important tasks like making RNA and controlling how genes are used. But sometimes, CDK13 can cause
Ever wondered how well a typical school-aged child can move? Researchers set out to find the answers by studying mobility in healthy kids. Their goal? To create a sort of "mobility benchmark" that doctors and parents can use to compare how kids with health issues are doing. Instead of just focusing
Once upon a time, a government program called Desaku Menanti relocated homeless residents to create a special village – the Mask Tourism Village in Malang. The idea was to showcase the unique Malangan Mask cultural heritage, and at first, it drew many curious visitors. However, the excitement didn't
