Scientists use stem cells to grow new human hair in the lab
Next step: transplant stem-cell-derived human dermal papilla cells back into human subjects (any volunteers?)
Giant space telescope could image objects at far higher resolution than Hubble
Could image space objects like black hole “event horizons” or view rabbit-size objects on Earth
Targeting specific astrocyte brain-cell receptors found to boost memory in mice
A drug that targets those receptors could improve memory in Alzheimer’s disease
Scientists extend telomeres to slow cell aging
A modified RNA that encodes a telomere-extending protein to cultured human cell yielded large numbers of cells for study
