Have you ever wondered why simulations created with Large Language Models (LLMs) don't always match up with real life? It turns out, the problem isn't all about the LLMs themselves. Scientists recently found a disconnect between these simulations and real-world observations. This discrepancy points
When it comes to large osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLTs)—especially those that come with a subchondral cyst or haven't responded well to bone marrow stimulation (BMS)—autologous osteochondral transplantation (AOT) is a potential solution. While there's plenty of research on treating similar
Researchers have discovered that collagen, a protein found in tumors, plays a major role in helping cancer cells grow new blood vessels. This finding is important because it could change how we treat certain types of cancer. In the past, scientists grouped solid tumors based on how much collagen an
When a five-year-old boy suffered severe burns covering 91% of his body, doctors faced a mysterious challenge: cytokine storms.

Have you ever wondered how proteins find their way along DNA? They don't just land on the perfect spot every time. Scientists have been exploring how proteins move along DNA, focusing on their binding and unbinding. Imagine proteins sliding along a twisty road (DNA) with electricity and bonding inte
For over ten years, scientists have been testing a special combination of medications called the polypill. This pill is designed to tackle atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is a fancy name for heart diseases caused by clogged arteries. Now, researchers are wondering if this same
Ever thought about the tiny critters in soil that help plants grow? We're talking about microbes, and they love nitrogen (N)! Scientists have a nifty tool called qSIP to see which microbes are using N. Usually, this is done in a lab. But what about in the real world? Two sites were picked to compare
Hindenburg Research, known for its short-seller tactics targeting tech and EV companies, is closing down. Nate Anderson, the founder, announced this news in a blog post, citing personal reasons and the toll the work took on his health and life. Hindenburg Research gained fame for its investigative r
Rwanda has become a key player in the global battle against rheumatic heart disease (RHD). The country is home to the Rwanda RHD Research Network, which serves as a central hub for international collaboration. This network brings together scientists, doctors, and public health experts from around th
