Scientists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), led by Professor Kwang-Hyun Cho, have developed an innovative cancer treatment that reprograms colon cancer cells to function like normal cells instead of killing them. Unlike conventional treatments that can damage healthy tissue and lead to relapse, this approach aims to reverse the transformation caused by cancer. Through advanced gene modeling, the team identified crucial molecular switches that could pave the way for safer and more effective treatments. Their findings, published in Advanced Science, offer promising new possibilities for cancer therapy.

Researchers in China have made a groundbreaking advance in diabetes treatment using cell therapy. A 59-year-old man with type 2 diabetes, insulin-dependent for 25 years, has been insulin-free for 33 months after an innovative cell transplant. The procedure created artificial insulin-producing cells from his own blood cells, restoring pancreatic function. Published in Cell Discovery, this development offers hope for diabetes patients worldwide and could significantly reduce healthcare burdens in China, which has the highest number of diabetes patients globally.

Last week, Delhi police arrested Dr. Vijaya Kumari from Indraprastha Apollo Hospital for her alleged role in a kidney transplant racket spanning Bangladesh and India. The Indian Express reported that three Bangladeshis were also arrested last month in connection with the case. Allegedly, forged documents from the Bangladesh High Commission were used to fake relationships between donors and recipients. Kumari, suspended by Apollo, reportedly performed 15-16 transplants at Noida’s Yatharth Hospital between 2021 and 2023. Middlemen, including Rasel from Kushtia and his associates, lured Bangladeshi donors to Delhi, promising 4-5 lakh rupees per kidney, while recipients were charged 25-30 lakh rupees. The network coordinated through Al Shifa, a medical tourism company. Rasel rented a flat for donors to stay and meet recipients. During the arrests, police found nine passports and transaction records. Kumari was a visiting consultant at Yatharth, not on Apollo’s payroll.

A survey by MSF's Epicentre in Cox’s Bazar camps reveals that nearly one-third of adults have been exposed to hepatitis C, with 20% having active infections. The Rohingya, facing lack of healthcare access and unsafe medical practices, suffer from high infection rates. MSF, the primary care provider, struggles to meet the demand, as treatment options are scarce and expensive. The WHO, IOM, and Save the Children plan to treat 900 patients, but a large-scale 'test and treat' campaign is crucial to prevent severe liver complications and deaths. MSF is committed to supporting Bangladesh in expanding hepatitis C care.
