Cell squeezing technology offers new breast cancer risk assessment

by

Beyond Genetics: The Rise of Biophysical Risk Assessment For decades, breast cancer risk assessment has leaned heavily on two pillars: family history and genetic mutations. While these markers are vital, they only tell a small part of the story. In fact, only about 6% of women who develop breast cancer carry known genetic mutations. This … Read more

Epigenome proteins shape dynamic gene expression beyond simple on-off

by

Beyond the On/Off Switch: The New Era of Gene Control For years, the scientific community viewed the epigenome primarily as a series of binary switches—proteins that either turned a gene “on” or “off.” However, groundbreaking research from North Carolina State University is rewriting this narrative. A recent study published in iScience reveals that epigenome regulators … Read more

Ombudsman to subpoena Zaldy Co upon return to PH

by

The Office of the Ombudsman is preparing to subpoena former lawmaker Elizaldy “Zaldy” Co once he returns to Philippine jurisdiction. Ombudsman Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that Co will be required to explain matters that remain under investigation by his office. Custody in the Czech Republic Co was denied entry from the Czech Republic last week … Read more

New study reveals CRISPR enzyme that responds to human DNA methylation

by

For decades, the “Holy Grail” of oncology has been a treatment that kills cancer cells while leaving healthy ones completely untouched. Chemotherapy, for all its success, remains a blunt instrument—a molecular sledgehammer that hits everything in its path, leading to the grueling side effects we’ve arrive to associate with cancer treatment. But we are entering … Read more

Scientists link poor sleep to decreased chemotherapy response via the gut

by

The Hidden Link Between Sleep and Cancer Progression For years, the medical community has acknowledged that sleep deprivation weakens the immune system. However, recent breakthroughs from the UF Health Cancer Institute have revealed a more complex mechanism: the gut microbiota. Researchers have discovered that the trillions of microorganisms residing in the human gut act as … Read more

Ultrasound advances offer noninvasive assessment of portal hypertension severity

by

The Future of Portal Hypertension Diagnosis: Beyond Invasive Procedures Portal hypertension (PH), a serious complication of liver cirrhosis, is traditionally diagnosed using invasive procedures to measure the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG). However, a growing body of research suggests a shift towards non-invasive methods, particularly advanced ultrasound techniques. A recent review published in Portal Hypertension … Read more

New method reveals hidden protein motions for improved drug design

by

Unlocking the Secrets of Protein Motion: A Fresh Era in Drug Discovery and Beyond For decades, “protein” has been synonymous with nutrition. However, proteins are far more than just building blocks for our bodies. They are complex biomolecules, whose behavior is dictated by their genetic code, and crucial for nearly every biological process – from … Read more

Early adulthood hypertension linked to heart and kidney disease later in life

by

The Silent Threat: How Young Adult Blood Pressure Shapes Lifelong Heart and Kidney Health New research presented at the American Heart Association’s EPI|Lifestyle Scientific Sessions 2026 reveals a concerning link between blood pressure levels in young adulthood and the risk of developing heart and kidney disease later in life. The findings underscore the critical importance … Read more

Scientists turn plastic waste into Parkinson’s drug levodopa using engineered bacteria

by

From Plastic Waste to Parkinson’s Treatment: A Revolution in Sustainable Pharma? A groundbreaking study published in Nature Sustainability details a remarkable feat of bioengineering: transforming discarded plastic into levodopa (L-DOPA), a crucial medication for managing Parkinson’s disease. Researchers have engineered Escherichia coli bacteria to “upcycle” poly(ethylene terephthalate) – commonly known as PET – into this … Read more
