Did you know? Reading for just six minutes can reduce stress levels by up to 68%, making books one of the world’s most accessible paths to calm, focus, and imagination. No wonder every story feels like a universe waiting to be opened.

This November, Naga City Science High School launches National Book Month 2025, not simply as an annual tradition but as an invitation to wander through imagination, rediscover forgotten joys, and experience the quiet magic of turning pages.

Whether you prefer the comfort of a familiar book or the thrill of exploring a new title, this month calls every Naguenian to return to the stories that shaped us.

From November 17 onward, a series of creative and literary events will unfold across the campus. These include writing competitions, bookmark crafting, Bookface photography, BookTok advocacies, storytelling and smart talking sessions, and the most awaited Cosplay Day on November 28. Each activity offers Naguenians a chance to explore literature in a fresh and engaging way.

Let this month remind us that stories are more than ink and paper; they are mirrors, maps, and portals. Magbasa, Magsaya, Matuto, at Magdiwang — Happy National Book Month, Naguenians! 📚

In the midst of the country's typhoon season, the Sierra Madre mountain range is once again being praised as the nation's "shield" against disastrous typhoons. While it's true that this vast range plays a vital role in our country's biodiversity and natural balance, it's just as important to look beyond this heroic image and understand the science behind the Sierra Madre's real influence and the crucial role of other mountain ranges in the Philippines.

𝗠𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗹’𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝗹𝘆 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 ‘𝗟𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝗸’

Marking a scientific breakthrough for cell biology, researchers from the University of Virginia School of Medicine and the National Institute of Health recently identified a previously unknown cellular organelle: the hemifusome.

The hemifusome is a vesicular organelle complex where two transport vesicles, a smaller one and a larger one, are caught in a partially merged state, known as hemifusion. This partial fusion is stabilized by an extended membrane bridge called the hemifusion diaphragm (HD), which acts like the ramp connecting a delivery truck to the dock.

Moreover, a tiny structure called a proteolipid nanodroplet (PND) sits at the brim of this connection, acting as the structural lynchpin. This organelle provides the platform where cellular "delivery trucks" can pause, connect, and efficiently transfer or sort their internal cargo before moving on, earning it the title: “the cell's loading dock.”

Scientists propose that hemifusomes facilitate vesicular biogenesis or the formation of vesicles, the tiny sacs that act as “little delivery trucks” inside the cell. This process is integral to cellular sorting, recycling, and debris disposal, the researchers report.

The discovery, enabled by cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) — an imaging method that “freezes” cells in time, adds a crucial, previously unrecognized step to the life cycle of cellular materials and opens up avenues for understanding and potentially treating genetic disorders and diseases linked to cellular trafficking errors. Since the organelle is fundamental to sorting and disposing of internal materials, any malfunction could lead to the accumulation of cellular waste.

This knowledge is just the beginning of a new chapter in cell biology. Further research into this organelle could lead to new approaches for developing treatments. By targeting and correcting errors at the hemifusome, scientists may develop new strategies to combat a range of debilitating diseases rooted in cellular traffic and recycling mechanisms.
