This week, the Department of Defense announced that Mohammed, along with Walid bin Attash and Mustafa al-Hawsawi, had struck deals to secure life sentences, thus dodging the capital punishment trial that has been entangled in legal wrangling for over 12 years. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin revokes the controversial plea deal for alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two accomplices, and says,…

A startling new report reveals that the Five Eyes alliance — the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand — leans heavily on China for rare earth elements (REEs), pivotal in the global mineral supply chain.

A new report is sounding the alarm: the Five Eyes alliance (U.S., U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand) must cut its reliance on China for rare earth elements (REEs) immediately. These minerals are vital for our…

Researchers from the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Pécs in Hungary discovered that counterfeit versions of semaglutide drugs, sold as Ozempic and Wegovy, pose serious health risks. The study, published in a recent report, highlights the dangers of purchasing these drugs from illegal online pharmacies. These counterfeit drugs, marketed for weight loss, appetite suppression, diabetes, and cardiovascular health, were found to have low-purity semaglutide, dosages exceeding labeled amounts, and one even showed signs of bacterial contamination. Nearly half of online pharmacies selling weight loss drugs are operating illegally, study finds https://t.co/LrLqQxrqfp — JustSearchin (@AndreasBoos) August 3,…

According to a new study from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research, non-coding DNA—which makes up 98% of our genome and does not contain instructions for making proteins—may hold the key to new cancer diagnostics and treatments. The findings, published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research, reveal mutations in previously overlooked regions of the genome that may contribute to the formation and progression of at least 12 different cancers, including prostate, breast, and colorectal cancer. New Research: Evolutionarily conserved enhancer-associated features within the MYEOV locus suggest a regulatory role for this non-coding DNA region in cancer https://t.co/lLk74XtvK4 #FrontiersIn #CellDevelopmentalBiology —…

Using a CT scanner, researchers were able to determine how the crocodile died and how its body was treated post-mortem. This particular crocodile mummy, housed at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, measures 2.23 meters in length.…
