From Plans to Attempts: Understanding Adolescent Suicide Risks in Adolescents
In this episode of The Lebanese Physicians Podcast, I speak with Dr. Michelle Cherro, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellow at Mass General in Boston and lead author of the 2025 PLOS One study, “Predictors of suicide attempts among adolescents with suicidal ideations and a plan.” Dr. Cherro discusses the motivations behind her team’s work with co-authors Dr. Hala Itani, Dr. Elie Ghossoub, and Dr. Fadi Maalouf at the American University of Beirut, exploring what drives some adolescents from suicidal thoughts and planning to an actual suicide attempt.   We unpack the study’s key findings, that female adolescents, antisocial behaviors, and substance use strongly predict attempts, and discuss how these insights can inform prevention efforts in Lebanon where the rates are not higher than elsewhere despite the unstable economic and political situation.   Tune in for a compelling conversation bridging U.S.-based data with Lebanese mental-health realities, and for practical reflections on what clinicians, schools, and families can do to protect at-risk youth.   📖 Reference: Cherro M, Itani H, Ghossoub E, Maalouf F.

Reprogramming Immunity: Unlocking CAR-NK Cells with Dr. Hind Rafei
In this episode, Dr. Hind Rafei dives into the cutting-edge world of CAR-NK cell therapy and its potential to revolutionize cancer treatment. Unlike their T-cell counterparts, CAR-NK cells promise enhanced safety and innate tumor-killing ability. But what if their power could be dialed up even further? Dr. Rafei discusses her team's groundbreaking discovery of CREM, a transcriptional regulator that shapes CAR-NK function and limits its full therapeutic potential. We explore how modulating CREM—particularly by deleting or suppressing it—can reprogram these cells to become more effective, resilient cancer fighters. We unpack the science behind the PKA–CREB pathway, CREM-driven epigenetic changes, and how these findings might lead to next-generation immunotherapies and even cancer vaccines. Finally, Dr. Rafei offers insights on clinical translation and the path ahead for CREM-tuned therapies. Whether you’re a researcher, clinician, or patient advocate, this episode sheds light on one of the most promising frontiers in cellular immunotherapy. #CARNKCells #CellTherapy #CancerImmunotherapy #GeneEditing #Epigenetics #TranscriptionFactors #CREMgene #CancerBiology #ImmunoOncology #NextGenTherapies #CancerInnovation #PodcastEpisode #SciencePodcast #MedicalPodcast #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy
