Vitamin C can increase the activity of cellular proteins known as TET enzymes, which help regulate whether certain genes are switched on or off. Reduced TET enzyme activity is a common feature in some blood cancers, prompting researchers to investigate whether vitamin C supplements might benefit people at risk of developing these diseases. The findings come from a phase 2 clinical trial published online by Wiley in CANCER, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.

Little did Miku Martineau know that all those years spent lacing up hockey skates and practicing her volleyball serve would come in so handy. The 22-year-old Canadian actress leads new Netflix series “Crew Girl,” which premiered in early September and has recently been greenlit for a Season Two. The show follows Teagan Tao, a competitive rower, whose life is turned upside down when she and her mother have to relocate cross country to her mother’s hometown. Her new school only has a boy’s crew team, so Teagan finds herself auditioning to be a coxswain.

"Canada and the EU, with our unparalleled trade access, shared values, and complementary economic strengths, can build a deeper and more integrated relationship," the draft paper says. The two sides plan to say at their summit in Montreal that they want to speed up investment in critical mineral projects, strengthen supply chains, and improve supply security, including by stockpiling critical resources to mitigate “market fluctuations and geopolitical impacts.”

As we approach World Mental Health Day on October 10, we will again hear a familiar statement: “There is no health without mental health.” You will find very few people who disagree. However, the way healthcare is organized sends a very different message. Even though mental health holds a much more prominent role in our national dialogue, behavioral healthcare continues to be treated as a lower priority in our healthcare system. It is still commonly financed, delivered, and discussed as though it exists somewhere just outside of the healthcare system. Patients needing mental health services are sent to different providers, through different referral systems, utilizing different insurance networks, with limited coverage and reimbursement rates. Behavioral health records often remain separate from medical records, and communication between mental health professionals and medical providers is frequently inconsistent or nonexistent.

Pegula said, “I can’t say that wouldn’t be exciting if I got to help out with the organization one day.” GSE Worldwide WTA No. 3 JESSICA PEGULA, whose family owns the Bills and Sabres, is “thinking about a future in sports ownership” following the eventual end to her playing career, according to Golden & Sherman of CNBC.com. Pegula said, “I can’t say that wouldn’t be exciting if I got to help out with the organization one day. I always thought that I wanted to be in the sporting world when I was done with tennis.” Pegula said that “despite the record high valuations and the recent team sales” across sports, she “wouldn’t want her family to sell the teams they own.” TERRY and KIM PEGULA bought the Bills for $1.4B in 2014, and the team was recently valued at $8.5B. They purchased the Sabres in 2011 for $165M, and the team is now valued at $1.42B. Jessica Pegula also reflected on her mother’s recovery from a 2022 health emergency.

If you've played FC before, you'll know the feeling of your defender lunging into a tackle you never asked for. That's the thing EA have gone after hardest this year. The theme running through every mode is control. Players told EA the game was doing too much for them, so a lot of what used to happen automatically now happens because you decide it should.

Heat-related illness at mass gatherings, such as major sporting, religious and cultural events, has become a significant public health and operational risk, affecting spectators, attendees, volunteers and workers. The World Health Organization (WHO) has today published a new review of evidence with guidance showing that most of the heat-related illnesses at major events can be prevented or treated on site when timely risk management measures are put in place. The evidence review, covering studies published between 1980 and 2025, documented nearly half a million medical encounters at mass gatherings, including more than 22 000 heat-related illnesses. However, studies also showed that when on-site medical systems are well organized, more than 90% of patients can be treated at event venues, substantially reducing demand on local hospitals and ambulance services. "Extreme heat is an increasing threat to health, safety and operational continuity in mass gatherings, and must be addressed not only as an environmental hazard but as a core operational and governance challenge," said Dr Chikwe Ihekweazu, Executive Director, WHO Health Emergencies Programme.

Here at Physics World we have had some luck with predicting who is going to win a Nobel Prize in Physics. One successful strategy is to identify top physicists and just keep predicting that they will win – and eventually they do! For example, we picked Anton Zeilinger for the 2009, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2019 prizes – and he won in 2022. Clearly, it was a mistake to give up on him in 2020.
