Did you know that a single mutation in the BRAF gene can make cells grow out of control? This tiny glitch plays a big role in cancers like melanoma, lung, and thyroid cancers. If you're curious how this works watch my short video to learn more! 👇 youtu.be/iFQ7GNdkLYQ

Ever wonder how a tiny pill can take down a parasite? Oxibendazole works by disrupting the parasite’s internal “skeleton” & starving it of energy until it can’t survive. Curious how that happens? Watch my quick video to learn more! 🪱 youtu.be/PN_PyJujzdI

Rifampicin binds to bacterial RNA polymerase, freezing transcription! This precision targeting is why it's a cornerstone in TB (tuberculosis) treatment, but also why resistance can emerge. Explore the mechanism behind this antibiotic in my latest video. youtu.be/j2oY6Aps2Xc

Carboplatin unleashes platinum ions inside cancer cells, triggering a cascade of molecular stress that overwhelms them. This biochemical chaos halts cell division & pushes the cell toward death. Learn about this chemotherapy drug in my latest video! youtu.be/EMB0-1kfUc0

Did you know BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) are essential for muscle recovery and energy? Your body can’t make them, so you have to get them from food or supplements. Watch my quick video to learn more about my favorite nutrients: amino acids! 🤓 youtu.be/4by-QAyvuHM
