In a stunning turnaround from their earlier loss to Oregon, the Ohio State Buckeyes dominated the Rose Bowl, defeating the Ducks 41-21. The game was a showcase of the Buckeyes' offensive prowess, with Will Howard throwing three long touchdown passes in the first half alone. This game was a chance fo
In the vast and complex realm of brain health lies a subtle warrior, Mathilda, also named Glucose transporter 1 deficiency syndrome (Glut1DS). Triggered by mutations in the SLC2A1 gene, Mathilda remains largely undetected since her discovery in 1991. She confuses even the brightest medical minds bec
Imagine this: a Tesla Cybertruck suddenly explodes outside the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas. One person dies, and seven others get hurt. The blast happens just outside the hotel's glass doors. Officials are trying to figure out if this is linked to a terror attack that occurred hours earli
Scientists have been digging into how lung adenocarcinoma, a type of lung cancer, handles amino acids. They discovered that different lung cancer cells behave differently when it comes to amino acid metabolism. By looking at public databases, they found 163 genes that act differently in lung adenoca
Breast cancer treatments have been advancing, which is great news for patients. However, these improvements come with a hefty price tag. One question that's been puzzling people is whether the benefits of screening mammography, specifically digital mammography, justify the expenses. This isn't just
Ever wondered how viruses like Nipah manage to invade our cells? It all comes down to their proteins, particularly the fusion protein, NiV-F. This protein is crucial for the virus to fuse with our cell membranes, allowing it to enter and replicate. Nipah virus, like other paramyxoviruses, uses two
You might know that extreme temperatures can lead to more people being admitted to the hospital. But did you know that these same temperatures can also make people stay in the hospital longer? In a study done in Hong Kong, researchers found that patients with heart and lung diseases stayed longer in

She and her colleagues were to be reassigned, while other staff were offered jobs elsewhere. Tseng felt powerless and worried about her patients. This experience sparked her decision to
Nature often uses flexible structures to interact with specific molecules. Scientists have taken a cue from this strategy and developed a flexible ligand called octadecyl acyclopa (ODA). Unlike rigid structures, ODA can dynamically change its shape. This makes it an effective tool for separating lig
