MALAYSIA is a diverse country, and with this diversity comes a variety of cultures, traditions, and foods. However, rice remains a staple for almost all the communities in Malaysia, including for festive celebrations. Just like how ketupat and lemang are must haves for the Malays on Hari Raya Aidilfitri, so is burasak for the Bugis communities in Johor, Sabah, and Sarawak. Burasak, also known as buras or burasa, is made with rice and coconut milk that are first boiled together before the cooked rice is wrapped in banana leaves and boiled further for up to 12 hours.

The immune system's ability to send its army of immune cells to the right location with the right level of response is key to the body's ability to fight an infection or a growing tumor. An incorrect immune response, either too much or too little, can lead to cancer, autoimmune disease or inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, skin diseases and digestive disorders. Now, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists have designed a blue light-guided system to steer immune cells, a tool that could potentially be used to guide immune cells to the location of an infection or a developing cancer.
