This report describes how a science communication module was incorporated into an advanced biochemistry course. Elements of communication were taught synergistically with biochemistry content in this course in an effort to expose students to a variety of effective oral communication strategies. Students were trained to use these established techniques and incorporated them into various presentations throughout the course. Three students describe their use of specific resources and how the skills learned relate to their future career. The importance and relevance of science communication are receiving unprecedented national attention. The academic scientific community must respond by incorporating more communication-centered instruction and opportunities in the classroom and laboratory.

Purpose: Health literacy (HL) is crucial in understanding labels of healthcare products. This study aimed to evaluate HL and its impact on comprehending quasi-drug labels, assess consumer perceptions of key label elements and their perceived importance, and provide actionable recommendations for improving label design and health communication.
Methods: An online cross-sectional survey of 500 Korean adults (aged 20-69) was conducted in September 2023 using proportionate stratified sampling based on the 2020 Korean Census.

Cancer nanovaccines hold the promise for personalization, precision, and pliability by integrating all the elements essential for effective immune stimulation. An effective immune response requires communication and interplay between antigen-presenting cells (APCs), tumor cells, and immune cells to stimulate, extend, and differentiate antigen-specific and non-specific anti-tumor immune cells. The versatility of nanomedicine can be adapted to deliver both immunoadjuvant payloads and antigens from the key players in immunity (i.

Given the prevalence of health misinformation, it is essential to develop interventions to correct misinformation and reduce its negative influence. Emerging research has investigated the use of narratives as both prebunking and debunking strategies, but the findings are mixed regarding their effectiveness. This systematic scoping review aimed to examine the role of narratives in countering health misinformation, drawing on evidence from 19 studies.

CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing has been extensively applied in both academia and clinical settings, but its genotoxic risks, including large insertions (LgIns), remain poorly studied due to methodological limitations. This study presents the first detailed report of unintended LgIns consistently induced by different Cas9 editing regimes using various types of donors across multiple gene loci. Among these insertions, retrotransposable elements (REs) and host genomic coding and regulatory sequences are prevalent.
