Episode Details

Researchers have uncovered previously unknown structures in the human body, suggesting our anatomical maps are far less complete than assumed. In a stunning brain development finding, newborn neurons routinely suffer catastrophic DNA damage while migrating through the developing brain — and repair it almost instantly. A genetic analysis of 2,000-year-old grape seeds is rewriting the history of Italian winemaking, revealing a surprisingly different viticultural past. Scientists have also identified a shared vulnerability between two of the world's deadliest diarrheal pathogens, raising hopes for a single vaccine targeting both. Meanwhile, evidence of bubonic plague has been pushed back 5,500 years, suggesting this pathogen was already devastating human populations long before the medieval epidemics we remember.
