It’s incredible what a little blue light can do! This month we explore the research of John Milligan, who uses blue light to synthesize biologically useful organic molecules in a more environmentally friendly way. And fascinating work suggesting bad nights of sleep might be driving cognitive decline in dementia.
In a NEJM article, William Schlaff and colleagues evaluate the utility of an endometriosis drug for reducing heavy menstrual bleeding. And check out the In the Media section below for all of the national news that research garnered.
Don’t forget, The NEXUS and The Health NEXUS are our new Jefferson News sites where we tell our stories our way. Feel free to explore the other great content.
We hope you’re doing well, Edyta Zielinska + Karuna Meda
Summoning the Troops to Attack Colon Cancer Sometimes, when researchers take a crazy idea and work on it until it makes sense, you get a novel cancer vaccine, and hope for patients with a devastating disease.
