Conventional wisdom suggests memories of past experiences can help us navigate problems in the present.

Bone is not the inert structure we often imagine. It’s alive, adapting daily to load-bearing and impact. But with over 200 million people affected by osteoporosis globally and therapies relying largely on antiresorptives and aging anabolic agents, the need for new regenerative strategies is critical.

We have all experienced boredom—that feeling of waning interest or decreased mental stimulation. Eventually we lose focus, we disengage. Time seems to pass slowly, and we may even start to feel restless. Whether it be watching a movie that disappoints, a child complaining that “there’s nothing to do,” or an adult zoning out during a meeting—boredom is a universal experience.

Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that has been identified in more than 110 countries around the world. The virus typically causes flu-like symptoms, but it can also trigger chronic, severe joint pain in some people.

As many people sit at the wheel of their car, they are certain they know what color is. It’s the red traffic light in front of them, the garish yellow hatchback in the next lane, or the green verge banking to their right.

A team of Mount Sinai surgeons has performed the first heart-liver-kidney triple organ transplants in New York. They successfully completed two of these complex surgeries on patients from Westchester County, who have since returned home and are making full recoveries.

The UN health agency on Tuesday adopted a landmark Pandemic Agreement on tackling future health crises, struck after more than three years of negotiations sparked by the COVID-19 crisis.

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching movements. The parvocellular division of the red nucleus, a small but specialized structure in the midbrain, was found to generate and transmit “error signals” necessary for adapting hand movements.

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have developed a novel technique for analyzing neural activity in the brain. This new approach makes it possible to track neuronal signals in freely moving animals for over 99 days—an unprecedented duration. It allows for the integration of data across multiple imaging sessions with high accuracy and is anticipated to become a valuable tool for studying memory mechanisms and the progression of neurological disorders.

In the dim basement of a Salt Lake City pharmacy, hundreds of amber-colored plastic pill bottles sit stacked in rows, one man’s defensive wall in a tariff war.
