Apoptosis- Cell Suicide or Sabotage? | PT. 2
BY ELLIOT SMITH Winning Entry for the Huxley Prize 2025 The Molecular Machinery of Apoptosis The central players in apoptosis are a specialised family of proteases known as the caspases – the cell’s executioners. Discovered as the functional equivalents of the worm’s ced-3 gene, the caspases are continually produced in the body, waiting in an […]

Interpretable Speech Biomarkers for Alzheimer’s Disease: Bridging Computational Models and Clinical Reasoning
BY NIKITA SIROTIN Abstract: Speech-based biomarkers have become a popular diagnosis tool for Alzheimer’s due to their non-invasive nature, sensitivity to early cognitive, and motor changes. However, the clinical value of these biomarkers are reliant on the ability to communicate how and why speech patterns are associated with disease processes. Only 0.6% of related studies […]
