science Researchers at MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered a new feedforward relationship between MYC and GSPT1 in various blood cancers. The experimental drug GT19630 was developed to disrupt this cycle in leukaemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. Preclinical tests on January 2024 showed strong anti-cancer activity, even against TP53-mutated disease. This mechanism also showed promise in overcoming resistance to venetoclax in AML. Further studies are needed to confirm the safety and efficacy of this approach in patients.
health Dolutegravir-Lamivudine showed high viral suppression rates in a 3-year French real-world study. Researchers monitored 304 participants across 49 centers in France from 2020 to 2024. Nearly 90% of treatment-naive individuals suppressed the virus within 6 months, while 94% of pretreated patients maintained suppression. This indicates strong virological success with a favorable safety profile, showing stable body weight. Future studies need to look at longer-term results in different populations. 🔬

science Australian researchers found a simple way to create terahertz polarizers using ordinary aluminium kitchen foil. The team at ANU developed this method by using a nanosecond laser to etch microscopic grids onto the foil. This process takes as little as 15 seconds and bypasses expensive cleanrooms and specialized fabrication. These tiny components are vital for controlling terahertz light, which can see through materials without X-rays. The new approach promises cheaper and faster production for these fundamental scientific tools. 🔬
Elections, voting rights, and political competition have developed globally over the last two centuries. Historically, leaders were often chosen by inheritance or force in the late 18th century. By the second half of the 20th century, elections became the main way to pick leaders worldwide. Although progress is seen, dozens of countries have become less democratic in the last decade.
