RNA is a central biological macromolecule, now widely used in medicine and nanotechnology. Like proteins, the function of RNA often depends on its precise three-dimensional structure. A recent study published in Nature communications from Marcia’s team, has captured, for the first time, a ribozyme in motion – almost frame-by-frame. Researchers have documented how this tiny RNA machine folds, bends and assembles, revealing its intricate choreography in unprecedented detail. Using an integrated structural biology approach that combines cutting-edge techniques – cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), RNA biochemistry and enzymology, image processing and molecular simulations – the scientists observed the…

The blinding glow of “dolphin skin” that dominated last year’s feeds is quietly disappearing. Instead, makeup artists are now talking about something softer, subtler and much easier to achieve in real life. They call it a “satin sheen”. You can think of it as the glow that happens when candlelight hits your skin. It’s bright, but not smooth. It doesn’t scream, “Look at my climax!” Instead, she whispers, “My skin is happy and healthy.” Which of course means we love this…

The program design looks simple from the outside. Sets, reps, some conditioning bits, maybe a test or two. But if you want to be a professional coach who can coach clients for years, not weeks, you need to think about a lot more than that.

And how to turn those ideas into a clear, usable plan within CoachRx for real clients.This post describes what I learned, how I use it in my own coaching, and…

A new study of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with seven common cancers reveals that nearly one in ten patients diagnosed with nonmetastatic disease later develop metastatic recurrence—a condition associated with significantly worse survival outcomes. Metastasis is when cancer cells spread from the original or primary site to other parts of the body. It comes with significantly worse survival outcomes. Scientists at the UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center led the research. The findings highlight the urgent need to identify and address survivorship needs for young cancer survivors. “As treatments improve survival, young cancer patients face unique challenges,” said Ann Brunson,…

For many of us, Thanksgiving brings its own kind of magic. The smell of good food. The familiar chaos. The laughter that rises from rooms where aunts gather and cousins ​​reconnect.

The holidays can be equal parts celebration and emotional marathon. And after a year when so many people have lost their jobs, felt overlooked or struggled to feel respected in the world, the family gathering should be a place to refuel. This is the…

An image-only artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting five-year breast cancer risk provided stronger and more accurate risk stratification than breast density assessment, according to a new study to be presented next week at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). Senior author Constance D. Lehman, MD, Ph.D., professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Mass., said traditional methods of assessing a woman’s risk for breast cancer, including age, family history, genetics and breast density, are inadequate. “More than two million women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and for most, it’s a…
