  World Diabetes Day, observed on 14 November each year, brings global attention to the rising prevalence of diabetes and its long-term health risks. With millions living with undiagnosed or uncontrolled diabetes, experts continue to emphasise the condition’s serious impact on multiple organs, especially the heart. Rising Diabetes Burden Across Age Groups Diabetes occurs when the body fails to produce sufficient insulin or cannot use it effectively. This causes persistent high blood sugar levels. Recent estimates show that more than one-tenth of the adult population is living with diabetes, with projections indicating a sharp increase in the coming decades. A large number of individuals remain unaware of their condition, increasing the chances of complications. How High Blood Sugar Affects Overall Health Prolonged hyperglycaemia affects the eyes, nerves, kidneys and cardiovascular system. In severe forms, it can lead to kidney failure, nerve damage, stroke and vision impairment. T...

  The Outstanding Scientist Award honours distinguished researchers whose work demonstrates exceptional originality, impact, and clarity, and whose scientific contributions have significantly advanced knowledge or addressed global challenges. The award celebrates those who — through innovative research, collaborative efforts, and a record of notable achievements — have made meaningful and lasting contributions to their field and society. Recipients will be recognized with a formal certificate or memento, public acknowledgement via media/features, and the opportunity to present their work to a global scientific community.

  Recently, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) acknowledged Type 5 diabetes as a distinct health condition during the World Diabetes Congress held in Bangkok. The condition, primarily affecting malnourished individuals, had remained largely unrecognised despite its global impact. About Type 5 DiabetesType 5 diabetes is a malnutrition-related form of diabetes. It typically affects lean and malnourished teenagers and young adults. The condition is prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, particularly in Asia and Africa. Approximately 20 to 25 million people are estimated to be affected worldwide. Unlike Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes , Type 5 diabetes is marked by a deep defect in insulin secretion rather than insulin resistance. Historical Context The condition was first documented in Jamaica in 1955 as J-type diabetes. In the 1960s, it was reported in undernourished populations across India, Pakistan, and parts of sub-Saharan Africa . The World Health Organization (WHO) ...

The Top Virology Scientist Award honors exceptional researchers whose groundbreaking contributions have advanced our understanding of viruses and viral diseases.

  A breakthrough study led by researchers at the University of Iowa has revealed a previously unknown structure of the DNA repair protein RAD52, offering promising insights for developing new cancer therapies. The discovery uncovers how RAD52 forms a protective double-ring structure to stabilise damaged DNA during replication, potentially making it an ideal drug target for cancers deficient in DNA repair mechanisms. RAD52 and DNA Repair Deficiencies Cancers such as breast, ovarian, and some brain tumours often carry mutations in key DNA repair genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2. These mutations force cancer cells to rely on alternate repair pathways for survival. RAD52 is one of the proteins that compensates for this deficiency, helping cancer cells replicate even with damaged DNA. Scientists believe that blocking RAD52 could selectively kill such cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. Discovery of a Unique Double-Ring Formation Using cryogenic electron microscopy (CryoEM), the research ...
