Sunscreen can give a false sense of security by providing a physical barrier to the sun’s harmful UV rays, which can make people believe they are fully protected. This may lead individuals to spend more time in the sun than they should, engage in riskier behaviors like not seeking shade or wearing protective clothing, and not reapplying sunscreen as recommended. Overreliance on sunscreen can result in inadequate sun protection and an increased risk of sunburn and skin damage.

A new machine learning approach developed by researchers at MIT and Harvard University could help scientists more efficiently design experiments to engineer cells into new states. This could have a significant impact on the development of new therapies for cancer, regenerative medicine, and other diseases. The new approach leverages the cause-and-effect relationship between factors in […]
CMR Revolution: A New Era in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy Risk Stratification
Nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) is a leading cause of heart failure and sudden cardiac death (SCD). While left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) has been the traditional method for risk stratification, it has limitations in identifying both high- and low-risk patients. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as a powerful tool for assessing myocardial scar, a key […]
Gene Editing Paradigm Shift: The Evolution of Gene Editing Therapies
Advancements in dyslipidemia therapies have evolved from daily small molecules to monoclonal antibodies administered biweekly, and now to RNA-based treatments needing infrequent dosing. Gene editing, progressing from DNA double-strand to single-strand breaks, shows promise for rare monogenic conditions. Trials for phenylketonuria and Leber Congenital Amaurosis continue, with positive results in transthyretin amyloidosis using NTLA-2001. ANGPTL3 […]
