Donald Trump (AP file photo) US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the United States was aware of Iranian sleeper cells inside the country, as American and Israeli forces continued their military operation against Iran. The operation, which has entered its second week, killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and has since led…
Cancer cells are basically the ultimate rule-breakers of the body. Under normal conditions, our cells follow a pretty strict set of instructions: grow when needed, stop when the job is done, and die when they’re old or damaged. Cancer cells, however, don’t get that memo or choose to ignore it completely. They keep dividing nonstop,…
Many daily habits, though frequently ignored, play a crucial role in shaping brain health, influencing everything from concentration to emotional balance. Specialists suggest that small, habitual adjustments can yield significant improvements. Small daily habits can shape how the brain works, and many of them slip under the radar. Some actions seem harmless but slowly dull…
Avoid starting to smoke, as this practice, over time, can lead to other irreversible health issues as well. If you feel the urge to drink something, opt for heart and brain-friendly options to drink, not alcohol Maintain a regular sleep schedule, and make the environment sleep-friendly. Exercise, reading, puzzles, and social engagement have been shown…
Matcha tea, a potent green tea, is highlighted for its potential to combat cancer, particularly breast cancer stem cells. Dr. William Li explains that its unique cultivation and preparation method result in a significantly higher polyphenol content. This allows matcha to target cancer stem cells and improve gut health, offering a promising natural ally. Coffee…
Keeping our brains young and healthy is just as important as keeping the body in shape. The good news: the brain does not need to be fixed; it can grow new cells and adapt throughout our lives, a process called neurogenesis. Neuroscientist Robert Lowe, who specializes in Alzheimer’s treatment, explains that certain physical and mental…
A groundbreaking international study has uncovered a critical vulnerability in prostate cancer cells, offering a promising avenue for more effective treatments. Led by scientists from Flinders University, Australia, in collaboration with South China University of Technology, the research identifies two key enzymes, PDIA1 and PDIA5, that play a vital role in maintaining cancer cell survival…
Mounting evidence in the past three decades have proven that adult humans can form new brain cells in a process called hippocampal neurogenesis. Studies suggest, in response to certain stimuli, hippocampus regions can grow new neurons, and physical exercise in one such activity. The hippocampus, a brain region central to learning, memory, emotion regulation, and…
Scientists have developed a revolutionary LED light-based cancer therapy that targets tumour cells while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. The treatment uses microscopic tin-based flakes, known as SnOx nanoflakes, which absorb near-infrared LED light and convert it into heat, selectively destroying cancer cells. This approach offers a safer, non-invasive alternative to conventional chemotherapy, which often causes…
A newly discovered protein secreted by a type of bacteria may offer a promising approach to fighting cancer. Scientists in Spain have identified a protein called HapA, produced by Vibrio cholerae, which can trigger apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in tumour cells. Laboratory experiments demonstrated that HapA specifically targets receptors on the surface of cancer…
