] Imagine you're in a bustling park where people (vertices) form groups (hyperedges) for various activities. This is like a hypergraph, a structure where groups can have more than two members. Anirban Banerjee, a mathematician, introduced a new way to study these hypergraphs using a matrix called t

Did you know that blood fats might be linked to colon cancer? Scientists wanted to find out if there's a real connection. They used a method called Mendelian randomization to see if high blood lipids or certain cholesterol-lowering drugs could raise your risk of getting colon cancer. The results wer
