    The real reason Donald Trump is bombing Yemen – Mondoweiss

    Just two days before Israel resumed the full scale of its genocide in the Gaza Strip, the United States began a bombing campaign in Yemen. 

    The U.S. aggression is a significant part of the recipe for endless war and devastation of the Middle East that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump are cooking up. 

    While Israel and the U.S. clearly communicated about these operations, each country has presented its actions as independent of, but…

  • Probiotics Lower Fever Duration in Children with Respiratory Infections

    Probiotics Lower Fever Duration in Children with Respiratory Infections

    Upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs) are among the most common illnesses affecting children, often leading to fever, discomfort, and missed school days. While probiotics have been studied for their role in preventing infections, their potential as a treatment has remained unclear. A new clinical trial with results published in the Journal of the American Medical Association provides strong evidence that a probiotic mixture can significantly shorten…

    Finance Ministry: Israel withholds approximately $1.917 billion of clearance tax revenues

    RAMALLAH /PNN / 

    The Palestinian Finance Ministry stated on Thursday that Israel was withholding approximately ILS 7 billion (equivalent to $1.917 billion) of clearance tax revenues for the period from 2019 to February 2025.

    The Finance Ministry said that Israel, which refuses to transfer these funds to the State of Palestine, unilaterally deducted this sum under several flimsy pretexts. As part of this sum of tax revenues, Israel deducted ILS 2 billion under the claim…

    AI-powered mammograms: A new window into heart health

    Mammograms, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) models, may reveal much more than cancer, according to a study being presented at the American College of Cardiology’s Annual Scientific Session (ACC.25). The findings highlight how these important cancer screening tools can also be used to assess the amount of calcium buildup in the arteries within breast tissue — an indicator of cardiovascular health.

    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that middle-aged…

  • How a Y chromosome gene may shape the course of heart valve disease

    How a Y chromosome gene may shape the course of heart valve disease

    A study led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego sheds new light on how a type of heart valve disease, called aortic valve stenosis, progresses differently in males and females. The research reveals that this sex-based difference can be traced to a gene on the Y chromosome.

    The discovery, published on March 12 in Science Advances, not only showcases the critical need to understand how sex chromosomes influence disease progression, but it also paves the way for treatments…

  • Part of the genetic risk for schizophrenia acts through the placenta

    Part of the genetic risk for schizophrenia acts through the placenta

    The study, which involved 28 researchers from 18 institutions across Europe and the United States, highlights the placenta as a key element in neuropsychiatric development. The research has demonstrated that specific epigenetic modifications in the placenta, particularly DNA methylation, can influence the expression of genes associated with psychiatric disorders. These findings suggest that genetic risk may already manifest during the prenatal stage.

    Epigenetic modifications are chemical…

  • The fine control of cell mechanics

    The fine control of cell mechanics

    Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This “barrier” tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called “junctions.” They ensure cell cohesion and regulate exchanges across the space between cells. Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE), in collaboration with the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Institute of Physical Chemistry (IPC) in Göttingen, have studied the role of a specific protein, gamma-actin, in the organization…

  • New CRISPR tool enables more seamless gene editing — and improved disease modeling

    New CRISPR tool enables more seamless gene editing — and improved disease modeling

    Advances in the gene-editing technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 over the past 15 years have yielded important new insights into the roles that specific genes play in many diseases. But to date this technology — which allows scientists to use a “guide” RNA to modify DNA sequences and evaluate the effects — is able to target, delete, replace, or modify only single gene sequences with a single guide RNA and has limited ability to assess multiple genetic changes simultaneously.

    Now, however, Yale…

  • Could the layout of trees impact human health?

    Could the layout of trees impact human health?

    A long-term Switzerland-wide study has found that neighbourhoods with numerous, well-arranged trees exhibit lower mortality risks than other areas. The reasons behind this, and the factors that play a role, will require further research.

    Beyond creating a serene and open atmosphere in urban areas, trees and parks also contribute to human well-being. There are various reasons for this: trees filter pollutants out of the air, provide shade, lower the ambient temperature in hot weather and…

  • Why do lymphatic vessels form a jigsaw puzzle-like pattern?

    Why do lymphatic vessels form a jigsaw puzzle-like pattern?

    The lymphatic system plays a key role in maintaining the body’s fluid balance and supporting immune defences. Lymphatic vessels are composed of a single layer of endothelial cells, allowing the transfer of fluids, cells and large molecules from surrounding tissues into the vessels. These vessels must be highly permeable to efficiently absorb and transport fluid, while also being flexible enough to withstand sudden changes in tissue fluid volume, such as swelling, without rupture.
