A new study from the Buck Institute for Research on Aging, published in Aging Cell, suggests that APOE2 helps neurons protect their DNA and avoid senescence. Senescence is a damaged, poorly functioning cellular state that becomes more common with age and is believed to contribute to neurodegeneration.

The fossils were discovered at Wadi Moghra in northern Egypt and provide the first definitive evidence of an ape from North Africa. Their age and location broaden the known distribution of early apes and suggest that Egypt, along with the wider Middle East region, played an important role in the evolutionary developments that eventually gave rise to modern apes.
Tianwen-1 has been orbiting Mars for four years and eight months, making it one of the closest spacecraft to observe the interstellar object since its discovery (on May 7th, 2025).
Many of the materials needed for cleaner energy systems and advanced technologies are still produced through processes that carry significant environmental costs. Rare earth magnets, for example, are largely manufactured in China, where environmental rules and industrial standards differ from those in Sweden.
A recent analysis from the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, an independent nonprofit that assesses the value of medical treatments, concluded that GLP-1 drugs including Ozempic, Wegovy and Zepbound are cost-effective. In other words, the health improvements they provide are considered substantial enough to justify their price.
