Q for Coenzyme Q10: NADH acts as an electron donor by transferring electrons to Complex I of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This transfer initiates a series of reactions that culminate in the reduction of Coenzyme Q10.

🚨 A 99.6% Drop in Cancer Cell Growth?

Brazilian researchers have revealed a remarkable cancer breakthrough. In laboratory tests, their new approach reduced cancer cell growth by up to 99.6%, raising hopes for more precise treatments that target tumors while leaving healthy cells largely unharmed.

The results are still early and limited to lab studies, but scientists believe this could be an important step toward future cancer therapies. Now, the big question remains: can these results be successfully replicated in human trials?

@MinofHealthUG What is the situation for travellers to the USA for example. US Secretary of state Marco Rubio clearly said they do not want anyone with Ebola entering the USA, they will quarantine travellers/ US citizens travelling to USA from the affected countries in a Kenyan facility until .

Governments must invest more into local health systems and their workforce/population. HIV has not gone away but control must be through local primary care systems. It is UNs responsibility

“It’s the biggest disruption since the global HIV response was put together and it poses a major threat to the progress we have had,” @Winnie_Byanyima tells @guardian on the launch of the new Global AIDS Brief.

Great Job DRC, your efforts are protecting the rest of the world, same with Uganda

[WHO African Region @WHOAFRO]

From community engagement and testing to contact tracing and treatment, the government-led #Ebola response in the #DRC is being intensified.

Significant challenges remain, but with strong collaboration, sustained support for frontline health workers, and the people of DRC the outbreak can be brought under control, says @Chikwe_I, @WHO's Executive Director for the Health Emergencies Programme.

@DrTedros Unfortunately, Dengue still sounds tropical. Development of therapeutics-including vaccines by endemic countries has a higher probability of developing the required therapeutics. Even mRNA vaccines. Biotech should invest in the endemic areas for Dengue treatments and control

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

#Dengue is no longer a sporadic threat confined to the tropics. More than half the world's population live in areas at risk.

Reversing this trend demands urgent and coordinated action. That means:
- stronger surveillance for early detection;
- investing in innovative vector control strategies;
- equitable access to vaccines and care.

@WHO is committed to supporting countries reduce the risk posed by dengue.

🚨 This Artificial Heart Could Change Medicine Forever

France has developed an advanced artificial heart that can adjust blood flow just like a real human heart. Created by CARMAT, the device uses smart sensors and biological materials to help patients with severe heart failure survive while waiting for transplants.

Unlike older mechanical devices, this artificial heart reacts to the body’s activity in real time, bringing new hope to thousands affected by the global donor shortage. Scientists believe this breakthrough could transform the future of heart treatment and save countless lives.

Recent studies have revealed the synchronization of neuromodulators including norepinephrine, serotonin, acetylcholine, dopamine, and histamine during sleep.

A new #ScienceReview explores what potential role the synchronization of these oscillations may play in health.
