Thu, 12/11/2025 - 20:08
Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a type of enzyme with a complicated name - cell migration inducing and hyaluronan-binding protein, or CEMIP - is associated with disorders ranging from multiple sclerosis to stroke to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease.

White bread vs wholegrain: which one is actually better for your health?

Thu, 12/11/2025 - 19:28
This review dispels common myths about white and wholegrain bread by examining their composition processing and health effects. It concludes that while wholegrain breads offer added benefits white bread remains a safe affordable and nutritionally meaningful staple when fortified.

Researchers discover the enzyme responsible for chromothripsis in cancer

Thu, 12/11/2025 - 14:29
University of California San Diego researchers have discovered the enzyme responsible for chromothripsis, a process in which a single chromosome is shattered into pieces and rearranged in a scrambled order, allowing cancer cells to rapidly evolve and become resistant to treatment.
