America to Slap 3,521% Tariff on Solar Energy Panels Made in Southeast Asia

The United States government is taking steps to protect its domestic solar equipment industry from being overwhelmed by major players from East Asia. Over the past decade, countries in East Asia have significantly boosted solar panel output, becoming some of the largest producers in the world. With the U.S. planning a major transition to renewables, their dominance threatens the survival of America's domestic solar industry. As a response, the U.S. Commerce Department has announced plans to impose import tariffs reaching a maximum of 3,521% on all solar panels originating from four Southeast Asian countries. The announcement follows a year-long investigation…

Study Identifies Key Enzyme That Could Be Targeted to Fight Brain Cancers

Researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center have identified a key enzyme that may be used to combat one of the deadliest types of brain cancer. Known as PGM3, this enzyme plays a critical role in the hexosamine biosynthesis pathway, which contributes to rapid tumor growth through protein and lipid glycosylation. Targeting PGM3 could significantly improve glioblastoma treatment outcomes. Glioblastomas are highly malignant tumors that typically form in the brain or spinal cord. They spread rapidly from their onset, causing increased intracranial pressure and symptoms such as headaches, nausea, drowsiness, blurred vision, seizures, and personality changes. These tumors are particularly…
