Artificial Blood: Progress and Challenges the Quest
By: Edha Talwar
Artificial blood research is exploring hemoglobin-based carriers, lab-grown red blood cells, and perfluorocarbon substitutes. Each shows promise but faces safety and production challenges. A safe, universal substitute could transform emergency care and solve global blood shortages.
The way liquid biopsies are revolutionizing the process of cancer screening and treatment planning
By: Saanvi Talwar
This article explores how liquid biopsies—simple blood tests that detect cancer DNA and other biomarkers—are transforming diagnosis and treatment. Unlike traditional biopsies, they are less invasive, faster, and can track tumors in real time, opening new doors for early detection and personalized medicine.

This report by CureQuest and Medsearch Pakistan highlights the widespread impact of thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder common in Pakistan. Affecting 5–7% of the population and causing thousands of new cases each year, it leads to lifelong dependence on blood transfusions and severe emotional and financial strain for families. The report urges greater public awareness, premarital screening, and improved healthcare support—reminding us that a simple test before marriage can save generations.

This study by CureQuest investigates whether everyday fruits can inhibit bacterial growth. Using extracts from lemon, guava, pomegranate, and cranberry against non-pathogenic E. coli, researchers found that all four fruits showed antibacterial activity, but pomegranate and guava were the most effective. These natural compounds significantly reduced bacterial growth compared to the control, highlighting the potential of fruit-derived phytochemicals as safe, accessible alternatives or complements to antibiotics. As antibiotic resistance rises globally, this work reminds us that solutions may exist not only in laboratories, but in nature itself.
Can Fruits Fight Bacteria? What Lemon, Guava, Pomegranate, and Cranberry Did to E. coli

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, leading to thick mucus that damages the lungs and digestive system. Newborn screening, sweat tests, and genetic tests help diagnose CF early.Treatments focus on managing symptoms, clearing mucus, and improving nutrition, but the biggest breakthrough has been CFTR modulators, especially Trikafta, which helps about 90% of patients by improving CFTR protein function. A review of clinical studies from 2012–2023 found Trikafta to be the most effective treatment, though high costs limit access. Continued research aims to create therapies that work for all CF mutations.
