When food prices spike during an economic crisis, urban populations and people with low levels of education are mostly affected. This can have lifelong negative health consequences – such as stunted growth in children. A research team at the University of Bonn has now demonstrated such long-term effects using the example of the “Asian financial crisis” in the 1990s. At the time, turmoil in financial markets led to a drastic increase in the price of rice, Indonesia’s most important staple food, which left measurable impacts on children’s development. The study was published in the journal Global Food Security. For their…

With a new study in the journal Scientific Bulletinresearchers at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University have discovered a new way aggressive breast cancer cells escape the immune system’s defenses. This discovery also reveals a potential weakness that could make these tumors particularly sensitive to existing immunotherapies. Many cancer cells are known to have high levels of DNA damage, and pieces of DNA can leak into the cell’s cytoplasm. This activates an alarm system called the cGAS-STING pathway, which triggers an immune response to attack the tumor. However, researchers show that some tumors fight back using a specific…
A panel advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has made a troubling change in hepatitis B vaccine recommendations that will leave some infants unprotected.Since 1991, the CDC has recommended that all newborn babies be vaccinated against the virus before they leave the hospital.

Or rather, to be open to the idea that our minds are never really made up. Decisions, thoughts and ideas are not, in fact, concrete. We may also have different opinions from each other, which is…
