The female genital tract (FGT) is a complex and varied environment. This complexity makes it challenging to develop HIV medications that can effectively prevent the virus. The FGT is home to a diverse range of hormones and microbes. These factors can influence how well HIV prevention drugs, like PrE
Cancer survivor research is a big deal. It's all about understanding what happens to people after they've been treated for cancer. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) has been funding some major studies to figure this out. These studies are called Cancer Epidemiology Survivor Cohorts (CESCs). They'r
In Europe, a new danger has emerged for the continent's native insects. Asian hornets, originally from southeast Asia, have been wreaking havoc on local insect populations. These hornets, known for their aggressive nature, have a diverse diet that includes hundreds of different insect species, many
