Married At First Sight star Elizabeth Sobinoff reveals heartbreaking miscarriage
Former Married At First Sight Australia star Elizabeth Sobinoff has revealed on Instagram that she suffered a miscarriage between her two pregnancies. Former Married At First Sight participant Elizabeth Sobinoff has revealed she suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage between the births of her two children. The 34-year-old reality TV alum shared the personal news on Instagram on Monday, reflecting on a difficult chapter in her life. Sobinoff, who rose to fame during her appearances on MAFS in 2019 and 2020, is now a mother to an 18-month-old daughter and a newborn son, who was born in April. 'Saying goodbye to a chapter of life that had its ups and downs,' she wrote in her caption, adding: 'It is bittersweet to say goodbye to that chapter of my life. I have my two babies and it is the most beautiful feeling in the world.' In the post, she disclosed that her children are 17 months apart and shared that she experienced a miscarriage before falling pregnant with her second child. 'My babies are 17 months apart,' she wrote. 'I had a miscarriage between my two pregnancies. I lost a baby. The baby had a strong heartbeat after my first scan… Less than 48hrs later I was experiencing a threatened miscarriage. The scan was on a Wednesday and by that Sunday I lost the baby.' She went on to describe how deeply the experience affected her, revealing that she felt a strong need to become pregnant again following the loss. 'I was focused,' she wrote. 'I couldn't get past this. Losing the baby, I thought I need to give myself a rest. Around a week and a half later I fell pregnant with my son.' Reflecting further on the emotional aftermath, she admitted she had not fully processed the grief at the time. 'I just lost a baby that I wanted so badly,' she said. 'Then I fell pregnant, and I was told this. I hadn't dealt with my emotions. I pushed it down, deep inside. I remember getting the phone call that I was pregnant. My girlfriend was with me and I cried with happiness.' The MAFS star concluded her message by sharing how motherhood has shifted her focus in life. 'The last few years I've been pregnant. Now I find I'm on the journey of enjoying my children and finding my new identity, other than being pregnant. It is bittersweet.' Dubbed ' Australia 's Most Confident Bride' during her season six appearance on MAFS, Elizabeth is now married to engineer Alex Vega and has stepped away from reality TV to focus on her family life.

Scientists discover proteins that could help fight cancer, slow ageing
A team of Australian scientists has identified a group of proteins that could transform approaches to treating cancer and age-related diseases. Researchers at the Children's Medical Research Institute (CMRI) in Sydney discovered that these proteins play a crucial role in controlling telomerase -- an enzyme responsible for protecting DNA during cell division, Xinhua news agency reported. The breakthrough clarifies how telomerase both supports healthy ageing and fuels cancer cell growth, highlighting new possibilities for treatments that slow ageing or stop cancer by targeting these newly identified proteins, the team said. Telomerase helps maintain the ends of chromosomes, known as telomeres, which are vital for genetic stability. Telomerase adds DNA to the ends of chromosomes (telomeres) to protect them from damage. While telomerase is essential for the health of stem cells and certain immune cells, cancer cells often exploit this enzyme to grow uncontrollably. CMRI Researchers have now identified a new set of proteins that play a vital role in controlling this enzyme. In the paper published in the journal Nature Communications, the team highlighted that three proteins -- NONO, SFPQ, and PSPC1 -- guide telomerase to chromosome ends; disrupting them in cancer cells prevents telomere maintenance, potentially stopping cancer cell growth. 'Our findings show that these proteins act like molecular traffic controllers, making sure telomerase reaches the right destination inside the cell,' said Alexander Sobinoff, the lead author of the study. 'Without these proteins, telomerase can't properly maintain telomeres, a finding which has significant implications for healthy aging and cancer progression,' Sobinoff added. Hilda Pickett, head of CMRI's Telomere Length Regulation Unit and the study's senior author, noted that understanding how telomerase is controlled opens new possibilities for developing treatments targeting cancer, ageing, and genetic disorders linked to telomere dysfunction.
