When blood vessels, which carry blood throughout your body, get injured, clots form to stop the bleeding. As you heal, your body should absorb the clots as they dissolve. However, sometimes these clots remain and restrict blood flow.A clot that forms in a major vein is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT).Although DVTs are most likely to form in the deep veins of your legs, they can also form in your arms, according to the American Society of Hematology. It’s possible for them to develop in your pelvis and other deep veins as well.Symptoms of a Blood Clot in the ArmDVT…

Unauthorized ship arriving at Bay 30.Ako sat straighter. The ship’s origin was Tremulos, a system inhabited by clonal aliens. His pin badge collection hung on the wall beside him, one for each port he’d visited; he hadn’t been to Tremulos yet. He hoped to get that promotion soon and visit systems farther out, like Tremulos, while he trained other spaceport controllers.“What’s the deal?” Cara asked beside him.“Dunno,” Ako said. He opened comms with the ship. “Identify yourself, Tremulos origin.”Nothing.Alarming scenarios rushed into Ako’s mind and he notified security as he kept trying to raise the pilot.Security swarmed Bay 30, weapons…

BOSTON – Dyno Therapeutics hosted an ambitious event in Boston this week, the Genome Agency Technology Conference (GATC)*, striving to bring together a broad coalition of researchers and executives in cell and gene therapy, gene editing, drug discovery and AI as well as patients and advocates to forge new pathways of collaboration to expedite progress in delivering therapies to patients. The one-day conference was the brainchild of Eric Kelsic, PhD, the founding CEO of Dyno, a biotech company co-founded by Harvard Medical School geneticist George Church, PhD, in 2018. Kelsic said the idea for GATC was hatched earlier this year,…

Writing in Frontiers in Endocrinology, scientists from Zhejiang Chinese Medical University reported that vitamin K2 significantly increases osteocalcin (cOC), a vitamin K-dependent protein that is essential for the body to utilize calcium in bone tissue. Increases were also recorded for bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BAP), an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the mineralization of bone.On the other hand, the vitamin was also associated with reduced levels of undercarboxylated (inactive) osteocalcin (ucOC). Without adequate vitamin K, the osteocalcin remains inactive and thus ineffective.“These findings support the potential role of vitamin K2 in improving bone metabolism by enhancing osteocalcin carboxylation and…

Antibiotic resistant infections are continuing to rise in England, with nearly 400 new cases reported each week last year.This comes despite NHS antibiotic use being lower than before the pandemic. Inappropriate use of these key drugs is considered a key driver in the creation of “superbugs.”A new report by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) found that 2379 people with a resistant infection died last year, up from just over 2041 the year before, an increase of 338 deaths in a year.1The UKHSA warned that life threatening cases …

Karen Weck, MD (University North Carolina) presenting at the AMP LDT Regulatory Update Session at AMP 2025 Conference The regulatory landscape for laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) has shifted more in the past 18 months than in the previous decade. This morning’s AMP 2025 breakout session “LDTs Under the Microscope: Regulatory and Legislative Updates” brought clarity, context, and a clear call to action for labs, clinicians, and diagnostics companies navigating a rapidly evolving environment. A major victory—but not the end of the story The session opened with what AMP leaders called “a great victory, but not the end of the threats.” That victory, of…
