Men who swapped beans for meat lost weight without cutting calories, a study found.Replacing red meat with legumes also lowered LDL cholesterol in just six weeks.Easy swaps like bean tacos or mixed burgers can improve health without overhauling your diet. If you’re a fan of delicious taco nights, your routine is probably down pat—chop some veggies, grab the salsa, brown the ground beef, warm the tortillas and call everyone to the table. But as one recent study suggests, there’s a very easy swap you can make in that meal that could help you reach or maintain a healthy weight, according…

Acidosis, the buildup of acidic metabolic byproducts, could alleviate the effects of other environmental stresses in pancreatic tumor cells, aiding the cancer’s survival. Image credit:©iStock, nicoletaionescuWhen life gives cancer lemons, it says “thank you.” Scientists recently discovered that in pancreatic tumors, acidic conditions made cells more resistant to other types of stressors, such as nutrient deprivation.1 Their results, published in Science, provide new insights into how tumor cells rise above harsh conditions and may guide researchers’ efforts in overcoming cancer’s resilience.“It changes the way we think about tumor metabolism,” said Wilhelm Palm, a cancer biologist at the German Cancer Research Center…

The non-profit organization, the Environmental Working Group (EWG), touts Governor Gavin Newsom’s signing of SB 646, a law that requires manufacturers of prenatal multivitamins to test for and publicly disclose levels of toxic heavy metals, including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury.The measure — authored by democratic Senator Dr. Akilah Weber Pierson and co-sponsored by the EWG, Unleaded Kids, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists District IX — marks the first time any US state has passed a mandate allowing for this amount of transparency.The law will take effect on January 1, 2027, giving the supplement industry two years…

Researchers used a technique called base editing to correct a mutation in the lamin A gene. At 8 months old, heart cross sections from treated mice resembled those of normal healthy mice [Xurde Caravia] Genetically editing a single nucleotide base could clinically correct cardiomyopathies, preclinical research suggests. The study, in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, demonstrates the power of base editors to correct disease-causing point mutations, where a solitary change in the DNA sequence can have devastating consequences. Using the well-established CRISPR/Cas system, the base editing process enables single nucleotide changes without introducing double-strand DNA breaks. In…

The global challenges of today, from climate-fuelled floods, droughts and heatwaves to food insecurity and health disparities, are felt intensely in Africa. To tackle those, universities on the continent must strengthen their research and innovation capacity.Universities must move with the times: how six scholars tackle AI, mental health and moreOn average, African countries spend around 0.5% of their gross domestic product on research and development. That’s less than one-quarter of the global average of 2.7%. Without more investment, African countries will remain reliant on imported innovations that are often costly, ill suited to local realities and unsustainable. Botswana urgently needs…

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned of a sharp rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), with one in six bacterial infections worldwide now resistant to antibiotic treatments.WHO’s latest global surveillance report found that antibiotic resistance rose in over 40% of the pathogen-antibiotic combinations monitored from 2018 to 2023, with an average annual increase of 5-15% depending on the combination.1The problem was most severe in low and middle income countries and in those with weaker healthcare systems, with resistance present in a third of all infections in some regions.In 2019 WHO estimated that 1.27 million deaths worldwide were caused by antibiotic…

View eBook     Precision oncology is reshaping cancer diagnosis and treatment, with molecular diagnostics at the core. These tools guide clinical decisions across the care continuum—from early detection and tumor profiling to treatment monitoring and recurrence detection. Emerging applications like minimal residual disease (MRD) tracking and real-time therapy adjustment are quickly becoming standard practice, supported by growing clinical evidence. The driver behind this transformation is a deeper understanding of tumors at the molecular level. Genomic profiling has become a powerful tool for identifying the mutations that drive cancer progression, enabling more targeted, personalized treatment strategies that go beyond traditional…
