A single sub-second exposure caught an airplane, the ISS, and a scatter of sunspots all silhouetted against the Sun at once — a shot the photographer estimates has odds of about 30 million to one.
Stanford researchers have found that the brain doesn't grow from one master progenitor cell as long assumed — it grows from two separate ones, a split that may trace back over 500 million years of evolution.
A new WashU Medicine study links accelerated biological aging in younger generations to rising rates of early-onset cancer — with immune aging tied to lung cancer and fat-tissue aging tied to colorectal cancer.
When people talk about the biology of Alzheimer's disease, the conversation almost always centers on two culprits: amyloid-beta plaques and tau tangles. A new study from Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and the University of... Continue Reading →
For decades, the working assumption in cardiology has been simple and grim: once heart muscle dies during a heart attack, it's gone for good. A new study from the University of Sydney, the Baird Institute, and Royal Prince Alfred Hospital... Continue Reading →
Personalized cell therapies have transformed cancer treatment for some patients, but they share a common problem: each dose has to be custom-built from that patient's own cells, a process that can take weeks and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.... Continue Reading →
