Article Synopsis
- - Embracing a circular economy in the textile industry is essential for sustainability, but transitioning from a linear model to circularity presents significant challenges, especially with the high volume of textile waste exceeding predictions.
- - Issues with collecting, sorting, and recycling post-consumer textile waste are compounded by fragmented waste management processes, necessitating improved strategies and regulatory support for effective circular business models.
- - Innovative recycling technologies and initiatives like the EU's Sustainable and Circular Textiles Strategy show promise for reducing reliance on virgin materials, but overcoming scaling challenges requires collaborative efforts and strong funding to boost the circular textile economy.

November 2024
This study addresses the urgent need for culturally sensitive cognitive assessments in Egypt by validating an adapted version of Harmonized Cognitive Assessment Protocol (HCAP) to the Egyptian context. This version is to be used as a part of the Egyptian Aging Survey (AL-SEHA). We enrolled 300 participants aged 55 + from diverse backgrounds and meticulously adapted the HCAP for Egypt's linguistic and cultural context.

- Advances in colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment face challenges due to fast tumor spread and screening issues, especially for early-onset CRC, highlighting the need for better therapies.
- The Rictor-mTORC2-AKT pathway is critical in promoting metastasis, and selective inhibitors targeting mTORC2, like Veratridine (VTD), show promise in reducing tumor growth and metastasis.
- VTD acts by destabilizing Rictor, leading to decreased cancer stem cell populations and aggressive tumor behaviors in CRC, offering a new potential approach to treatment.
The escalating concerns about traditional reliance on fossil fuels and environmental issues associated with their exploitation have spurred efforts to explore eco-friendly alternative processes. Since then, in an era where the imperative for renewable practices is paramount, the aromatic synthesis industry has embarked on a journey to diversify its feedstock portfolio, offering a transformative pathway toward carbon neutrality stewardship. This Review delves into the dynamic landscape of aromatic synthesis, elucidating the pivotal role of renewable resources through syngas/CO utilization in reshaping the industry's net-zero carbon narrative.
