People with measles are barred from entering a hospital in Canada, which has seen a surge in cases of the highly infectious disease in 2025.Credit: Nicole Osborne/The Canadian Press via ZUMA PressA surge in measles cases has cost Canada its official measles free designation — and the United States looks likely to follow suit.The spike in Canada’s measles rate has been dramatic: so far, there have been 4,843 confirmed cases in 2025, up from just 147 cases in 2024 (see ‘Canadian surge’). Meanwhile, the United States has had more than 1,720 confirmed cases this year, more than in any year…

Within the field of gastroenterology, Clostridioides difficile infection is recognized as a major problem globally. Previously called pseudomembranous colitis, the condition emerged into clinical consciousness in the 1970s and became known as C. difficile colitis or C. difficile-related disease (CDAD) after it was established that the inflammation in the colon was caused by a specific bacterium. Typically, the infection was treated with antibiotics, but it was known to recur in approximately 20% of cases. In recent years the clinical status and spectrum of C. difficile infection have shifted, however. The prevalence of this infection has risen sharply, driven by both…

The benefits of cryotherapy for skin range from cosmetic to medical. Here are four uses for the different types of cryotherapy.Can Treat Skin CancersCryotherapy — specifically cryoablation — can be used to treat skin cancers in various stages, from precancerous skin conditions to early-stage cancers like squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma.[2] When dermatologists or family physicians use cryotherapy in this way, it’s a proven medical treatment supported by research, Dr. Borok says.[5]With minimally invasive cryoablation, abnormal precancerous cells are frozen off. The area of the skin will then blister and peel off, making way for healthy skin to emerge.[2]…

No one could accuse Demis Hassabis of dreaming small.In 2016, the company he co-founded, DeepMind, shocked the world when an artificial intelligence model it created beat the best human player of the strategy game Go. Then Hassabis set his sights even higher: in 2019, he told colleagues that his goal was to win Nobel prizes with the company’s AI tools.Chemistry Nobel goes to developers of AlphaFold AI that predicts protein structuresIt took only five years for Hassabis and DeepMind’s John Jumper to do so, collecting a share of the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for creating AlphaFold, the AI that…

New clinical research endorses the skin-rejuvenating, youth-preserving potential of Eternalyoung, a beauty-from-within ingredient blending four botanical extracts: pomegranate (Punica granatum), sweet orange (Citrus sinensis), desert ginseng (Cistanche deserticola), and gotu kola (Centella asiatica). Created by Monteloeder, a SuanNutra subsidiary, the ingredient reduced the appearance of wrinkles while supporting “youthful, radiant, and even-toned” skin. The company will be exhibiting at the upcoming Food ingredients Europe 2025 trade show in Paris, France (Dec 2–4).Standardized ingredients within the blend work synergistically to slow down skin aging and enhance radiance, restoring skin hydration and elasticity, according to the supplier.“We witnessed its ability to help improve the…

Cells fine-tune gene expression in response to cellular stress, a process critical for tumor progression that leads to cancer. However, elucidating mechanisms governing stress-responsive transcription remains an ongoing gap.  In a new study published in Nature Chemical Biology titled, “MED1 IDR deacetylation controls stress responsive genes through RNA Pol II recruitment,” researchers from Rockefeller University have identified a molecular switch in breast cancer cells that reprograms the genetic production line towards tumor growth and stress resistance.  “It’s another example of how basic research can open promising therapeutic avenues,” said Ran Lin, PhD, research associate at Rockefeller and first author of the study.   Robert Roeder, PhD, Arnold and Mabel Beckman Professor…
