7. Scientists from the University of Surrey in the UK have developed a unique technique that allows them to “look” inside cancer cells. The essence of the method is to extract individual cancer cells using microscopic tubes and subsequent analysis of their lipid composition. This was made possible through the use of fluorescent dyes and mass spectrometry. The study found that each cancer cell has its own unique “lipid profile”, which explains their varying resistance to therapy.
8. An 18 years old Chinese woman named Xiaoyu was diagnosed with “love brain syndrome”. Her obsession with her lover, which developed into anxiety and an unhealthy addiction, darkened not only her mental health, but also turned the young man’s life into a nightmare. Xiaoyu demanded from her partner constant monitoring and immediate response to messages at any time of the day, accompanying them with demands to turn on the camera. One day, having received no answer to any of the more than 100 calls, the girl flew into a rage. She trashed her apartment and threatened suicide. Fortunately, the police, called by the guy, arrived in time and saved Xiaoyu from a rash step.
