AEDs on planes could save lives, study urges global policy change

Wed, 12/03/2025 - 01:32
In-flight cardiac arrest is extremely rare, yet catastrophic, and responsible for up to 86 % of all deaths in the air. A new comprehensive literature review highlights systemic and policy shortcomings of current aviation safety standards, calling for global alignment.

New method reveals how human cells initiate DNA replication

Wed, 12/03/2025 - 01:27
When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, and genetic disorders. Therefore, understanding how cells replicate their DNA is crucial for elucidating fundamental biological processes, diseases, and even evolution.
