Stem-Cell Therapy Success in China Marks Milestone in Type 1 Diabetes Treatment25-year-old woman with Type 1 diabetes in China has successfully undergone a stem-cell therapy that enabled her to produce her own insulin, reducing her reliance on injections.

Industry-funded study suggests coffee really is the fountain of youthCNC-Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology researchers in Portugal report that regular, moderate coffee consumption (three cups per day) not only contributes to a longer life but also enhances the quality of those additional years by reducing the risk of major age-related diseases and maintaining better overall health.

Genetic code discovery could redefine understanding of cancer originsA group of scientists at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has revealed a new genetic code that acts like a cancer ringleader, recruiting and deploying a gang of tumor cells to incite a biological turf war by invading healthy organs and overpowering the normal cells.

Eating dark chocolate linked with reduced risk of type 2 diabetesConsuming dark, but not milk, chocolate may be associated with lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to a new study.

Researchers discover new ocean predator in the Atacama TrenchCharacterized by darkness and intense pressure, the ocean's hadal zone seems uninhabitable, yet dozens of unique organisms call it home. Each species discovered there adds a crucial piece to the puzzle of how life has evolved and even thrives in one of Earth's most extreme environments.

Webb telescope's largest study of universe expansion confirms challenge to cosmic theoryNew observations from the James Webb Space Telescope suggest that a new feature in the universe—not a flaw in telescope measurements—may be behind the decade-long mystery of why the universe is expanding faster today than it did in its infancy billions of years ago.

James Webb telescope confirms we have no idea why the universe is growing the way it isAstronomers can't agree how fast our cosmos is expanding. A new James Webb Space Telescope study has made the crisis even worse.

Google's new quantum chip has solved a problem the best supercomputer would have taken a quadrillion times the age of the universe to crackGoogle's new 105-qubit "Willow" quantum processor has surpassed a key milestone first proposed in 1995 — with errors now reducing exponentially as you scale up quantum computers.

Starlink's first constellation of direct-to-phone satellites is now in orbitSpaceX has launched 20 of its Starlink satellites up into Earth's orbit, enabling direct-to-cellphone connectivity for subscribers anywhere on the planet. That completes the constellation's first orbital shell, following a launch of an initial batch of six satellites for testing back in January.

Has a consumer price been set for Direct-to-Cell Satellite Communication?

Exercise during pregnancy may cut a child’s asthma risk in halfAsthma in on the rise in kids, but prevention can start in the womb.

Traces of 10,000-year-old ancient rice beer discovered in Neolithic site in Eastern ChinaA collaborative study has uncovered evidence of rice beer dating back approximately 10,000 years at the Shangshan site in Zhejiang Province, China, providing new insights into the origins of alcoholic beverage brewing in East Asia.

An Ancient Killer Is Rapidly Becoming Resistant to Antibiotics, Study WarnsTyphoid fever might be rare in developed countries, but this ancient threat, thought to have been around for millennia, is still very much a danger in our modern world.

Increases in U.S. life expectancy forecasted to stall by 2050, poorer health expected to cause nation's global ranking to dropThe U.S. is forecasted to fall in its global rankings below nearly all high-income and some middle-income countries. Drug use disorders, high body mass index, high blood sugar, and high blood pressure are driving mortality and disability higher across the U.S. Future scenarios for health outcomes identify the states that are forecasted to gain ground, face stagnation, or grow worse. Scientific evidence underscores the urgent need to prioritize public health to prevent the economic consequences of sickness, disabilities, and premature mortality in the U.S.

Bitcoin Tops $100,000 As 2024 Rally Reaches New HeightsHaving shattered the $100,000 barrier, Bitcoin leaped to never-before-seen heights late Wednesday evening, in what can easily be marked as a milestone

Earliest evidence of deep-cave rituals in Southwest Asia discoveredA cave in Galilee, Israel, has yielded evidence for ritualistic gatherings 35,000 years ago, the earliest on the Asian continent. Three Israeli researchers led the team that published its results in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

More than 10,000 supernovae counted in stellar censusSince 2018 the Zwicky Transient Facility, an international astronomical collaboration based at the Palomar Observatory in California, has scanned the entire sky every two to three nights. As part of this mission, the ZTF's Bright Transient Survey has been counting and cataloging supernovae—flashes of light in the sky that are the telltale signs of stars dying in spectacular explosions.

Elon Musk Is Ready To Ban Daylight Saving Time With D.O.G.E.In their newly appointed roles by Donald Trump to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E.), Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have sparked

'An existential threat affecting billions': Three-quarters of Earth's land became permanently drier in last 3 decadesClimate change is causing unprecedented drying across the Earth — and five billion people could be affected by 2100, a new UN report has warned.
