Imagine being told you have a health condition that doctors can’t agree on, and treatments that could do more harm than good. Welcome to the confusing world of pseudo-endocrine disorders. These are health issues that sound real but lack solid science to back them up. One example is adrenal fatigue,
Malaysia Airlines is introducing its new Airbus A330neo jets with an impressive business class experience. The seats are arranged in a 1-2-1 layout, offering direct aisle access and privacy to all passengers. Designed by Collins Aerospace, these suites feature sliding doors, large 4K video screens,
Scientists in Tehran have been digging into the mysteries of breast cancer. They've been looking at something called the BRCA1 gene and a protein named CA15-3. By collecting samples from patients with breast cancer, they found that a significant portion, about a quarter, had an active BRCA1 gene. Th
Early-stage breast cancer patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative (HER2-) tumors face a big challenge: disease recurrence. This kind of cancer is diverse and tricky to manage because a quarter of these patients will see their disease come b
Get ready for an exciting update in the world of smartwatches! OnePlus is cooking up a Pro version of its flagship Wear OS smartwatch, the OnePlus Watch 3, later this year. We found evidence of the OnePlus Watch 3 Pro in the OHealth app, which is the official companion app for OPPO and OnePlus smart
Everyone is talking about the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, which has impacted millions worldwide. We've had to adopt social distancing and isolation. But what about public spaces like toilets? How do we keep them safe? A team designed a clever disinfection system using an STM32 microprocessor. Th
Cancer cells are known for their clever tactics to evade the body's immune system. One of these tricks involves manipulating the metabolic processes of cells in and around the tumor. Tumors gobble up glucose, their main energy source, and produce lactate. This creates a tough environment for immune
Boeing, a major US aviation company, has had a rough 2024. It started with a strike by 33, 000 machinists, which slowed down the production of popular planes like the 737 Max, 777, and 767. In January, a scary incident happened when a door plug fell off a 737 Max during a flight. This made safety ex
Have you ever wondered why some cancer cells just refuse to die? One of the culprits is a pathway called PI3K/AKT/mTOR, which helps cancer cells grow and divide. Scientists are working on drugs that can shut down this pathway and stop cancer in its tracks. One promising drug is based on a chemical c
Have you ever wondered how some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can play a role in heart disease? Well, let's dive into the story of lncRNA uc003pxg. 1 and miR-339-5p, two players in the complex game of cardiovascular health. These tiny molecular actors have been found to influence the proliferation,
