Five-year breast cancer survival rate at 66.4 percent across 11 geographical areas in India: Study

A study conducted in India reveals that the five-year survival rate for women with breast cancer is 66.4%. The study analyzed data from 17,331 patients diagnosed between 2012 and 2015 in 11 different regions of India. Mizoram, Ahmedabad-Urban, Kollam, and Thiruvananthapuram had higher survival rates than the national average. However, the survival rate in India is lower compared to developed countries like the United States. Late-stage diagnosis, limited access to treatment facilities, and socioeconomic factors contribute to the lower survival rates in India.

Researchers give new insight into tuberculosis treatment

Researchers discovered new antibiotic molecules that target Mycobacterium tuberculosis and make it less pathogenic for humans in collaboration with research partners in Germany and France. Furthermore, some of the found compounds may enable the re-treatment of tuberculosis with existing treatments, including strains of the bacterium that have already established drug resistance. The findings were published in Cell Chemical Biology as 'Discovery of dual-active ethionamide boosters blocking the Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESX-1 secretion pathway'.

Nasa, UAE to collaborate for first-ever space station orbiting moon

Nasa teams up with the UAE for a lunar project to create the world's first space station orbiting the moon, known as Gateway. The UAE's Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) will provide an airlock module for Gateway, facilitating crew and scientific research transfers. The collaboration expands the partnership between Nasa and MBRSC, with the UAE also offering engineering support for the lifespan of the lunar space station. The UAE plans to send one of its astronauts on a future Artemis mission to fly to Gateway, further strengthening the collaboration.
