Link Found Between Diet, Metabolic Conditions, and Cancer Risk: Discovery of Mechanism Inactivating Tumor-Suppressing Genes Sheds Light on Connection
The Surprising Link Between Glucose Metabolism and Cancer Development
Scientific discoveries often challenge long-standing theories, revolutionizing our understanding of complex phenomena. In a groundbreaking study conducted by researchers from Singapore and the UK, a previously unknown mechanism has been revealed, shedding light on the connection between an unhealthy diet or unmanaged metabolic conditions like diabetes and increased cancer risk.
Genes that Suppress Tumor Formation
This study explored how changes in glucose metabolism can enable cancer growth by temporarily deactivating a gene known as BRCA2, which acts as a safeguard against tumor formation.
“These findings raise awareness of the impact of diet and weight control in the management of cancer risks,” says lead author Li Ren Kong.
Astonishingly, this discovery challenges the widely accepted “two-hit” paradigm proposed by Knudson in 1971. According to this theory, both copies of a tumor suppresso

Although the maternal mortality rate has decreased in the country, 156 mothers die while giving birth to every 100,000 children. More than 4,000 mothers die every year due to pregnancy and childbirth complications. Although efforts have been made to bring it down to 70 in the Sustainable Development Goals, Bangladesh is still far from achieving it. Moreover, 78 percent of normal deliveries of expectant mothers in the country are in the hands of midwives.
According to the International Confederation of Midwives (ICM), climate change is the biggest health challenge of our time. As the days go by, the whole world including Bangladesh is facing heat waves, floods and natural disasters due to the effect of global warming. Which is significantly affecting the health of women and children.
In such a situation, ‘Midwives, indispensable manpower in climate crisis’ is being celebrated in Bangladesh on Sunday like all over the world as ‘International Midwife Day-2024’.

New treatment for Parkinson’s patients gives hope for a better life

The goal of the study is to see if it is possible to replace lost dopamine cells with healthy cells grown from stem cells. The researchers’ hope is to create a pioneering biological drug that slows down the effects of Parkinson’s disease.
Thomas Matsson was the first in the world to try the cells. Today he avoids the feeling of walking around in syrup and he has a completely different fluidity in his movements.
“Got my body back”
– I have regained a body that feels like mine and I have been able to reduce my medication. The fear of falling is gone, says Thomas Matsson.
So far, five subjects have been operated on wit

Work in progress at Dream Village: a new gym soon
A new life for the Dream Village wellness center in Cordenons. Already. One of the multifunctional structures created in 2003 is really about to reopen its doors. After the failure of the structure in 2008, something is moving in the Viale del Benessere complex which should return towards the end of the year with a new proposal for the inhabitants of Pordenone in the name of fitness and relaxation.
Over the years there have been several attempts at relaunching it although, unfortunately, they have not given positive results. There were costs involved that were in some ways unsustainable from the prices of materials to the now dated systems located within the structure. To carry out redevelopment interventions, a solid and ambitious plan was needed capable of guaranteeing sufficient returns on investments. A concrete project capable of bringing one of the most popular structures in Cordenons back to the center. The works are underway and if everything goes as planned, the Dream Village area will return to being the wellness oasis of the past with a gym and a fitness area that will add to the sports offer already present in the area.

Causes intestinal cancer
VIENNA (EFE).— The plastic we ingest not only cannot be eliminated but spreads through cell division, which could even favor cancer metastasis, according to a study by Austrian universities published in the magazine “Chemosphere.” .
The work recalls that the intestinal tract is the main route of entry and exposure to micro- and nanoplastics (MNP), and analyzes the interaction between these substances and various types of cells that appear in colorectal tumors, a type of intestinal cancer.
Previous research estimated that about five grams of these substances are ingested each week, which is equivalent to the weight of a credit card.
The new study points out that particles smaller than a micrometer (one-thousa
