(TODAY stands for Treatment Options for type 2 Diabetes […]
Metastasis of cancer is the main cause of cancer relevant death as well as the main challenge of cancer treatment. Recently, a group led by Prof. Piao Hailong from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) revealed that the nucleotide binding protein Y-box binding protein 1 (YB1) can […]
Most of us will die in hospital in old age – but the final days need not be out of your hands. In a powerful new book, consultant in geriatrics DR DAVID JARRETT, who has witnessed 3,000 deaths, reveals how you can go gently into that good night Friday night in London’s West End and […]

As a human race, we’ve made great strides forward in various fields like medicine, technology, education, and research. Researchers at UCLA have discovered that different parts […]
Neurons lack the ability to replicate their DNA, so they’re constantly working to repair damage to their genome. Now, a new study by Salk scientists finds that these repairs are not random, but instead focus on protecting certain genetic “hot spots” that appear to play a critical role in neural identity and function. The findings, […]
New research offers insight into why regular, long-term use of low-dose aspirin may reduce the risk of death from colon and rectal cancers. Resarchers found that aspirin prevents blood cells called platelets from producing an enzyme that allows them to clump together. Tumor cells can attach to these clumps and spread (metastasize) throughout the body. […]
It’s not news that dental work and orthodontics can be prohibitively expensive for people who aren’t fortunate enough to have comprehensive dental insurance or a flourishing bank account.
