Every serving. No expiration date. Page 4 of 4.
During one May morning count, Cycling Scotland recorded more bikes than cars on Leith Walk from 8 to 9 a.m.—a first for that route, not a claim about the whole city.
THE SCAN CAME BACK EMPTY.
Researchers at Texas Children's, Baylor College of Medicine and Seattle Children's reported in the New England Journal of Medicine that a child with hepatoblastoma had complete regression of disease after a novel immunotherapy given as part of the CARE study.
THE HAND FELT BACK.
Seventeen years after an amputation, Alexander “Avi” Davidson became the first participant to take Utah's thought-controlled bionic arm home — with a nerve interface that gives it a sense of touch.
A WALL THAT BREATHES.
A 200-foot eroded bank at Sebastian Inlet State Park got 22 honeycomb reef arches and up to 90 red mangroves instead of a wall — finished September 10.
TWO ORIGINS. ONE BRAIN.
Stanford researchers found the forebrain/midbrain and hindbrain arise from distinct progenitor cell populations — and used that insight to grow functional human hindbrain motor neurons in the lab.
FIFTY YEARS. NO DOG-MEDIATED HUMAN CASES.
Chile became the first South American country validated by WHO for eliminating dog-transmitted rabies as a public-health problem after more than five decades without a dog-mediated human case.
Côte d’Ivoire connected 3.56 million more people…
684,735 new connections. Around 3.56 million more people with access.
THE GENOME GOT A BIGGER TOOLBOX.
A new lab method can place gene-sized DNA at targeted sites in human cells. No patients yet.
CIVIC INFRASTRUCTURE: 1. POTHOLES: 0.
Two hundred thousand holes became not-holes.
LAB BENCH HOPE.
42 antibodies made. Two blocked the reaction. In a dish, for now.
STAGE 1 AND 2, CAUGHT ABOUT 87% OF THE TIME
An investigational blood test flagged stage 1 and 2 pancreatic cancer about 87% of the time in a study of roughly 1,800 people. Not FDA-cleared. Still a big deal.
18.5 MONTHS INSTEAD OF 10.
18.5 months vs. 10.0. Promising, not approved.
THE MAP WAS THE PROBLEM.
Africa was not small. The map was weird.
FOUR MILLION LAKES, WATCHED.
Four million Arctic lakes are now being watched in near real time for signs that frozen ground is giving way.
RUBELLA, OFF THE LIST.
Decades of vaccination and surveillance turned a dangerous pregnancy infection into a preventable public-health victory.
STONE IS LOAD-BEARING AGAIN.
The future of lower-carbon construction might involve a material humans have been stacking for thousands of years.
NINE MONTHS HE DIDN'T HAVE.
A genetically modified pig kidney kept Tim Andrews off dialysis for 271 days — the longest such stretch yet in a living person. He later received a human kidney, making this the first reported pig-kidney transplant to serve as a bridge to a human one.
YOUR TREE PHOTOS HAVE A JOB.
AI-generated images helped species-identification models when real photos were scarce — but actual photographs from people in the real world still performed better. Your random tree picture remains scientifically employed.
THE CLINIC RUNS ON SUN.
Twenty-three students built Stella Juva, a solar-powered mobile clinic that drove more than 800 km across Kenya and, while stationary, generated enough energy to power all its onboard medical equipment at once. It hasn’t treated real patients yet — this was field testing — but the sun appears to be doing rounds.
TRACHOMA, REGION-WIDE, GONE.
WHO has validated Timor-Leste’s elimination of trachoma as a public health problem. Because it was the last country in WHO’s South-East Asia Region where the disease was still suspected to be a public-health problem, the entire region has now cleared that threshold.
RABIES LOST ITS FOOTHOLD.
WHO has validated Bhutan’s elimination of dog-transmitted human rabies as a public-health problem — the first country in WHO’s South-East Asia Region to reach the milestone. Bhutan has gone more than two years without a human death from dog-transmitted rabies. Vaccines, surveillance and people showing up worked.
