Description
Scientists have upended decades of thinking about depression, tracing its roots to a surprising cellular energy problem in the brain that could change how we diagnose and treat it. A landmark Alzheimer's breakthrough uses cancer-fighting technology to engineer brain cells into plaque-clearing machines — potentially replacing ongoing treatments with a single genetic fix. Astronomers may have captured a rare planetary collision in real time, while new evidence suggests our own Sun was once a cosmic refugee that fled the violent center of the Milky Way. Ancient DNA from a 5,500-year-old skeleton is rewriting the history of syphilis, and researchers are now seriously debating whether bees — and ChatGPT — might be conscious.
