Researchers have developed a novel approach to “starve” cancer by using genetically modified fat cells that outcompete tumors for essential nutrients. A team led by Nadav Ahituv, PhD, at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), used CRISPR gene-editing to transform energy-storing white fat cells into energy-burning “beige” fat cells by activating the UCP1 gene. These engineered cells consume …

Carl Jung’s psychology presents a profound perspective on individuals who keep no friends, reframing their solitude not as a deficit but as a sign of deep psychological development and independence. These loners are often not suffering from social deficits but have developed immunity to the collective unconscious agreements that govern most human behavior, such as the need …
Recent discussions highlight a growing crisis in children’s foundational academic skills—particularly reading and math—with educators and researchers pointing to changes in brain development, technology use, and educational approaches. Brain science offers insights into why these abilities may be declining and how early learning shapes neural pathways. Key factors include reduced attention spans due to smartphone …
