Researchers have developed a compound that attacks cancer cells in two ways by exploiting their demand for sugar while blocking their backup fuel supply. Cancer cells survive in part by consuming large amounts of sugar to power their rapid growth. Rather than trying to starve them of that fuel, researchers have developed an experimental compound […]

Scientists Solve a Vitamin B12 Mystery With an Unexpected Culprit
A virus kills a bacterium, and in the wreckage, other microbes may find one of life’s most essential nutrients: vitamin B12. New research from Virginia Tech suggests that bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, can release vitamin B12 trapped inside bacterial cells. That sudden nutrient windfall can then fuel neighboring microbes that cannot make B12 themselves, […]
Has the Autism Spectrum Become Too Broad? Leading Scientist Warns of Hidden Consequences
Autism diagnoses have risen dramatically as definitions have expanded, but that shift may carry unexpected consequences. A diagnosis can open the door to understanding, treatment, and practical support. But when the same label is used for people with profoundly different abilities and needs, does it still provide enough useful information? Dame Uta Frith, one of […]
