A New Era for Diabetes: How Gene Edited Cells May Rewrite the Future of Insulin Therapy

Type 1 diabetes affects millions worldwide. In this autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks the insulin producing islet (β) cells in the pancreas, leaving patients dependent on lifelong insulin injections or pumps.

A new review of more than 88,000 climate-related studies has confirmed what scientists have been saying for decades: more than 99.9% of peer-reviewed research agrees that climate change is largely caused by human activity. The burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, and industrial emissions are accelerating…

Earth’s Heat Imbalance Is Doubling—What That Means for Your Health

Earth is holding onto more heat than it releases back into space, and scientists say this imbalance has more than doubled in just two decades. While the physics may sound abstract, the effects are very real: hotter days, harsher storms, and shifting health risks that touch us all. What Does “Energy Imbalance” Mean? Earth’s climate…
