Consequences of Covid-related thrombosis and the Lifestyle (no Sport and high fat consumption)

Research shows that heart attacks are becoming more prevalent among adults between 20 to 50 years old—and the outcomes are worse for women. While COVID might play a part, worsening lifestyle habits may be the root of the problem—but the good news is that cardiovascular disease can often be prevented.

DNA structure discovery lead to the diagnostic, therapy and forensic personal identification opportunities.

Dr. James D. Watson has passed away at 97 years old. After helping discover the double-helix structure of DNA in 1953 with Francis Crick, he wanted that knowledge to help doctors and researchers understand how diseases started. Because of this work, scientists learned more about cancer, genetic disorders, and how traits are passed from parents to children.

Watson always believed that science could make life better for people everywhere. In 1968, When Watson became director of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, New York. He helped raise millions of dollars to build new laboratories and support new research programs. Watson even gave over $5 million of his own money to expanded the Laboratory's famous "Meetings & Courses" program, which brings together scientists and trains young researchers from all over the world. He also secured major grants from groups like the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation to start summer courses in neuroscience, helping students learn new skills that could one day save lives.

While Watson's later years were clouded by controversy, it's difficult to ignore the great research and scientific advancements he made. Dr. James D. Watson’s work has saved countless lives and continues to shape modern medicine all over the world.

BREAKING NEWS
The Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet has decided to award the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine to Mary E. Brunkow, Fred Ramsdell and Shimon Sakaguchi “for their discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance.”

This year’s medicine laureates have discovered how the immune system is kept in check. The body’s powerful immune system must be regulated, or it may attack our own organs. Brunkow, Ramsdell and Sakaguchi have been awarded this year’s medicine prize for their groundbreaking discoveries concerning peripheral immune tolerance that prevents the immune system from harming the body.

The laureates identified the immune system’s security guards, regulatory T cells, which prevent immune cells from attacking our own body.

The laureates’ discoveries launched the field of peripheral tolerance, spurring the development of medical treatments for cancer and autoimmune diseases. This may also lead to more successful transplantations. Several of these treatments are now undergoing clinical trials.
