Amid the Wreckage of My Shattered Dreams – A Gaza Student’s Story
Students in Gaza continue to study despite the ongoing Israeli genocide. (Design: Palestine Chronicle) By Fatima Skaik
In that moment, I understood: We do not study for degrees—we study to prove we are alive, that we deserve to survive.
I write these words as I sit on the rubble of my home, surrounded by the wreckage of my shattered dreams. My fingers trace the remnants of what was once the wall of my room. I sift through the ashes, searching for a pen, a piece of paper—any trace…

Nontraditional risk factors shed light on unexplained strokes in adults younger than 50
dults younger than 50 years of age had more than double the risk of having a stroke from migraine or other nontraditional stroke risk factors rather than traditional risks such as high blood pressure, according to research published today in Stroke, the peer-reviewed scientific journal of the American Stroke Association, a division of the American Heart Association.
Previous research indicates the rate of ischemic (clot-caused) stroke among adults 18-49 years old is increasing and propelled…

Cerebral palsy medications given to adults may not match needs
Pain and symptom management are important parts of caring for adults living with cerebral palsy.
However, these patients are often treated with medications that may not align with the underlying type of symptom they’re experiencing.
This disconnect can lead to adults with cerebral palsy being prescribed medications that aren’t the correct treatment for the source of their concerns, creating patterns of people taking drugs that are unnecessary and could potentially worsen their health or…

Scientists ‘hack’ cell entry to supercharge cancer drugs
A new discovery could pave the way for more effective cancer treatment by helping certain drugs work better inside the body.
Scientists at Duke University School of Medicine, University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, and University of Arkansas have found a way to improve the uptake of a promising class of cancer-fighting drugs called PROTACs, which have struggled to enter cells due to their large size.
The new method works by taking advantage of a protein called CD36 that…

New study reveals how cleft lip and cleft palate can arise
Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, occurring in about one in 1,050 births in the United States. These defects, which appear when the tissues that form the lip or the roof of the mouth do not join completely, are believed to be caused by a mix of genetic and environmental factors.
In a new study, MIT biologists have discovered how a genetic variant often found in people with these facial malformations leads to the development of cleft lip and cleft…

Deep learning algorithm used to pinpoint potential disease-causing variants in non-coding regions of the human genome
Researchers from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn Medicine) have successfully employed an algorithm to identify potential mutations which increase disease risk in the noncoding regions our DNA, which make up the vast majority of the human genome. The findings could serve as the basis for detecting disease-associated variants in a range of common diseases. The findings were published online today by the…

Study identifies new method for improving lung growth and function in preterm infants
Adding two weeks of continuous positive airway pressure for preterm infants in the hospital substantially improves lung growth and function, according to new research from Oregon Health & Science University.
The study, published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, found that extending nasal continuous positive airway pressure, or CPAP, in preterm infants beyond the usual time used in current clinical practice significantly improves lung growth and…
