Reducing inflammation partially restored the aging retina’s ability to generate new neurons from support cells, offering a possible route to improve experimental regeneration. To replace nerve cells lost to glaucoma, researchers are looking to cells already living alongside them. Called glia, these cells support and nourish neurons in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the […]

New Treatment Cuts “Bad” Cholesterol in Half for a Full Year
A single infusion of an experimental CRISPR-Cas9 therapy was reported to safely lower LDL cholesterol by 52.5% and triglycerides by 47.8%, as measured 12 months after treatment. What if one infusion could keep cholesterol down for a year? An experimental gene-editing treatment called CTX310 has shown early promise in people whose cholesterol and other blood […]
Scientists Discover Trees Have a Hidden “Muscle” That Helps Them Straighten Themselves
Young poplar trees can sense bends in their stems and straighten them by changing where they grow wood that pulls like a muscle. Young poplar trees can straighten a bent stem even without light or gravity to guide them. In an experiment that removed those directional cues, the trees corrected their curves over several weeks, […]

Astronomers Expected More Tiny Worlds Beyond Neptune – Webb Found Something Else
Tiny icy bodies beyond Neptune are scarcer than some models predicted, and their colors suggest they may preserve traces of their formation. Far beyond Neptune, astronomers expected to find more small, icy bodies than their deepest survey revealed. These trans-Neptunian objects, or TNOs, are remnants of the material that built the planets. Studying the smallest […]
Five Very Different Diseases May Share a Hidden Biological Link
The findings suggest that chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), long COVID, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis (MS) may share underlying biological mechanisms. An infection and a traumatic experience have little in common, yet both can be followed by lasting exhaustion, brain fog, and disturbed sleep. Researchers at the University of East Anglia […]
