Wonderful memories from a Dinner with a Doc event organised in Iasi by Farid Alipour and Cristina Batlan with Cindy Hollie and Dr. Michael Hollie!
Hope to recreate the wonderful atmosphere sometime soon again! ❤️

3 Scientists have found in laboratory studies that a compound called melittin, found in honey bee venom, can rapidly kill two types of invasive breast cancer cells: triple-negative (TNB) cells and HER2-positive (HER2-positive) cells. Interestingly, healthy cells are not harmed in the process! Melittin cuts off cancer cells’ growth signals by creating holes in their membranes, preventing them from dividing. The venom worked in less than 1/2 minute, while venom from other bees, which lack melittin, had no effect. The findings offer new hope for future targeted cancer treatments.

Your Heart’s Secret: It Has Its Own Nervous System

Researchers have discovered that the heart has its own complex nervous system, often referred to as a "mini-brain," capable of regulating its rhythm independently from the brain.

This system includes specialized neurons, some with pacemaker properties, challenging the long-held belief that the heartbeat is solely controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

Using zebrafish, which have cardiac functions similar to humans, scientists mapped this neural network and revealed its crucial role in maintaining heart rhythm.
