Cancer is one of the most complex and instructive human diseases, representing a dramatic disruption of normal cellular processes that allows cells to grow uncontrollably, resist death, invade surrounding tissues, and metastasize. With the incidence of cancer rising worldwide, understanding its underlying mechanisms is critical for students, researchers, and clinicians. Decades of research have revealed […]

Are plants really unlike us as the biological system of classification dictates, or could they be similar to us? Do plants too enjoy the beauty of the morning sun, smelling the fragrance of their flowers, listening to the lovely buzzing bees, consuming the meal of minerals and water, and most crucially, conveying their feelings through
