New observations show that the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way does not consume nearby dust objects as previously thought. Near the heart of the Milky Way, where the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* bends nearby space with immense gravity, astronomers have been watching several strange dusty objects for signs of […]
Building the Brain Requires Millions of Dangerous DNA Breaks
Scientists discovered that building a healthy brain involves an unexpected step: young neurons routinely break and rapidly repair their own DNA. As the brain develops, newly formed nerve cells must travel through tightly packed tissue to reach the locations where they will become part of the brain’s neural networks. That demanding journey turns out to […]

Endless Supply of Cancer-Fighting Immune Cells Unlocked by USC Scientists
Researchers have developed a way to grow and genetically engineer progenitor cells that produce macrophages, first responder immune cells with potential for new immunotherapies against cancer and other diseases. Macrophages look almost built for the hardest parts of cancer therapy. They can push into tumors, swallow dangerous cells, and help alert the wider immune system. […]
