A trust has axed free tea and coffee for its staff in an attempt to save money.University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust confirmed that it has stopped providing milk, tea, and coffee for most staff in order to save £50 000 a year. This follows an announcement in May that the trust was cutting 750 jobs from its workforce of around 13 000 to save £110m from its £1.3bn turnover.The decision was made as part of wider requirements for the trust to live within its financial means, it said.The BMJ understands that the trust initially planned to pause free refreshments for all…

Investigators at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Boston Children’s Hospital identified that alternative start codons can determine a protein’s localization to the mitochondria or its retention in the cytosol and nucleus. This mechanism, detailed in a Molecular Cell research article, has medical implications, as rare disease variants can selectively impair one isoform while leaving another…

And considering your ruling planet, Mercury, is retrograding in the relationship sector of your chart this month, slowing down is exactly what you need right now. Uranus, the planet of change, is retrograde in your first house of self until November 7, and then it backspins into Taurus and your 12th house of endings for the rest of this month. Plus, the planet of luck goes retrograde in your second house of self worth on November 11.

As the gummy supplement market continues its rapid expansion, many formulators face a persistent challenge — how to deliver optimal absorption of minerals without compromising taste or texture. By leveraging micronized citrate salts of magnesium and calcium, Jungbunzlauer says it can help brands create gummies that are smooth, flavorful, and highly bioavailable.Ahead of the company’s upcoming webinar, titled “Better gummies, better absorption: formulating gummies with organic mineral salts,” Nutrition Insight sits down with Emily Orr, Jungbunzlauer’s senior food scientist in application development and speaker at the webinar.Orr explains how the company’s next-generation ingredients allow brands to balance functionality with sensory…

RESEARCH HIGHLIGHT 07 November 2025 Dimming of the starlight from RZ Piscium reveals that 24 unseen bodies are whizzing around the star.

Colon cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.Eating an anti-inflammatory diet is linked with a 16% lower risk of colon cancer in a new study.Anti-inflammatory foods like fermented dairy, produce and healthy fats may help lower risk. Colorectal cancer (CRC), cancer of the rectum and/or colon (large intestine), is common. In fact, it’s the fourth most common type of cancer, and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S. Researchers are continually looking for lifestyle behaviors that influence cancer, including colorectal cancer. One of these behaviors is what we eat and how it…

Specifically, to address limitations of current mRNA vaccines—such as increasing vaccine potency and reducing toxicity. Now, a new delivery LNP, developed through sequential combinatorial chemistry and rational design, and based on a class of degradable, cyclic amino ionizable lipids, has been developed at MIT. The novel LNP could make mRNA vaccines more effective and potentially lower the cost per vaccine dose. In mouse studies, the researchers showed that an mRNA influenza…

Paul Newman loved a simple lima bean recipe made with smoked ham hocks.The dish uses just three ingredients and is ideal for large holiday gatherings.Cook lima beans thoroughly to avoid the natural toxin found in raw beans. If the humble lima bean isn’t one you always include as a Thanksgiving side dish, think again. The mild, slightly buttery legume is easy to track down on the freezer aisle, offers a helpful amount of fiber and is pretty delicious. In fact, actor and philanthropist Paul Newman had a family lima bean recipe he adored so much, it made its way into…

Credit: KATERYNA KON/Science Photo Library/ Getty Images Lung cancer remains the world’s deadliest malignancy, largely because most tumors are discovered only after they have spread. For years, scientists have sought molecular clues that precede tumor formation, hoping to uncover a window for early intervention. In a new study, published in Cancer Cell, MD Anderson researchers combined spatial transcriptomics with molecular pathology to visualize how lung cells transition from healthy to precancerous to malignant. By integrating data from 56 human precursor and advanced tumor samples across 25 patients and validating their results in an additional 36 lesions from 19 patients, the…
