Most diseases, from heart disease and Alzheimer’s to cancer, share one thing in common — chronic inflammation. But while inflammation plays a key role in disease progression, pinpointing where it occurs in the body has always been a challenge. Standard blood tests measure broad markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), but they fail to identify specific tissues or organs affected by inflammation.1 Now, a recent study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences2 has found a way to detect inflammation in specific areas using antibodies. This innovation could open the door to highly targeted diagnostic tests, allowing…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Most founders have zero interest in becoming celebrity CEOs — in fact, many of us actively avoid it. Yet, the personal branding industry has been projecting the same message for years: Be the face of your industry, become the #1 name everyone recognizes, and build your personal platform above all else. This advice is everywhere, and it’s become the dominant narrative. But here’s what I’ve discovered working with high-level CEOs and founder-CEOs: Many of us want the exact opposite. We want our company to be the industry-dominating name, not ourselves. We’re building…

The Texans have been one of the busiest franchises this offseason as they’ve signed their fair share of new players in free agency, handed out massive contracts to several members of their young core, and traded away elite left tackle Laremy Tunsil. As things stand, the offensive line remains one of the weakest position groups on the roster. After trading away Tunsil, they’ve added a number of new guards and former Vikings and Jaguars left tackle Cam Robinson. None of the guards truly move the needle, but Robinson is a fine enough replacement for Tunsil in the short term. So…

Image by dole777 Gen Z may have grown up with smartphones in hand and social media as second nature, but that doesn’t mean they’re happy about it. In fact, a growing number of young people are openly expressing frustration, exhaustion, and even grief over the constant demand to be digitally present. Being “chronically online” isn’t just a meme anymore. It’s a cultural reality, and a draining one at that. It’s easy to assume that Gen Z thrives on all things digital. They’re fluent in trends, experts at aesthetics, and hyper-aware of what’s happening online. But that fluency doesn’t equal freedom.…

Millions of Filipinos around the world are Catholic, thanks to the Spanish colonizers who introduced the religion mainly as a tool for social control. But we must be careful in thinking that the Catholicism of the colonizers is the same as Philippine Catholicism, particularly in the way it is understood and practiced. For the most part, it looks the same, sounds the same, and in many cases even feels the same, but if we look closely, the religiosity of the everyday Filipino is not really the same. We treat saints the same way our ancestors used to treat their anito.…
