Our hair colour seems to have an unexpected role in wound healingstock-enjoy/Shutterstock Redheads may experience slower wound healing than their blonde, brunette or black-haired counterparts. A study in mice shows that a genetic variant that causes the hair colour seems to impede the rate at which lesions close up – a discovery that could help us better treat wounds among people with hair of all hues. Our hair colour is heavily determined by a gene called MC1R, which encodes for a protein that controls the ratio of a black-brown pigment to a red-yellow one in hair follicles. People with brown…

TVLINE | I’m glad you brought that up, because there’s that scene at the end of Season 1 where Tommy says, “You could sell this now, still have more money than God, and start a foundation and do great things,” and she says, “No, I want to see this through.” Do you think that’s because of the legacy aspect?I think for Cami, it’s not about the money. It’s about loss, loss of him. And so the way to hold onto him, to keep him alive, is to make sure that she doesn’t step in and lose everything that they’ve built.…

When looking over the output of Osgood Perkins, it’s clear that this is a filmmaker of many ideas, possibly more than he can fully execute to their highest potential. In the space of just over a year, Perkins has established himself as one of the most prominent names in contemporary horror, delivering one of 2024’s most divisive films, Longlegs, before swiftly following that up with an enjoyable albeit underwhelming Stephen King adaptation, The Monkey. Sure enough, his latest effort, Keeper, is set to be followed by another feature set to be released next year. You’ve got to admire the man’s enthusiasm, but pal, what’s the rush? Perkins…

LHAASO experiment. Credit: LHAASO Collaboration Milestone results released by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) on November 16 have solved a decades-old mystery about the cosmic ray energy spectrum—which shows a sharp decrease in cosmic rays above 3 PeV, giving it an unusual knee-like shape. The cause of the “knee” has remained unclear since its discovery nearly 70 years ago. Scientists have speculated that it is linked to the acceleration limit of the astrophysical sources of cosmic rays and reflects the transition of the cosmic ray energy spectrum from one power-law distribution to another. Now, however, two recent…

Here are the 25 best rock songs of the last 25 years.While 2000 did not mark the turn of the century, nor the millennium (those counts start at 2001), it did signal a new era.The first decade was marked by the apex of nu-metal releases, among a more than worthy crop of like-minded peers, the emergence of modern hard rock (largely inspired by the thumping mid-tempos of Metallica’s ‘Black Album’) the upward momentum of pop-punk and the rise of the emos.The decade that followed (2010-2019) found many of the previous decade’s new styles fizzling out (nu-metal) or going full blown…

I don’t know about you, but whenever I wear something colorful, my first inclination is to wear black shoes, but I’m also aware that non-black shoes are always a more interesting (and often more successful) choice. Elizabeth Olsen is one of the many It girls who know what I’m talking about.Olsen, who has been busy promoting her new film Eternity, was photographed out in NYC earlier this week wearing a vintage Fendi cobalt blue blazer with a bright blue midi skirt. And instead of black pumps (the obvious choice), she opted to wear burgundy pumps. As I’m sure you know…

An experimental drug compound could prevent and treat some complications of diabetes, such as poor wound healing and rampant inflammation. And it works regardless of blood sugar control, a new study in mice and human cells suggests.The cornerstone of diabetes care is keeping blood sugar in check through diet and exercise, by maintaining a healthy weight, and by injecting the hormone insulin to help shuttle glucose out of the bloodstream. But while maintaining blood sugar levels in a target range reduces the chance that diabetes complications will emerge, it doesn’t eliminate the risk.”The complications of diabetes — which really are…

HBO Back in 2011, no one could have predicted that “Game of Thrones” would soon become the biggest show on television, and arguably of all time. While HBO was hot off of a decade-plus of major hits, and adult genre TV was on the rise, it was impossible to predict the success that a big-budget epic fantasy series could have worldwide. Having the right time, right place, and right production team and cast all played a part, but they had a strong foundation out of the gate thanks to author…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Born on Monday? “Born on Monday” originated as a short story titled “Time Capsule,” which was first published in my collection of short stories, “50 States.” The original tale explored how people who leave a town after high school have experiences that seem to make time stand still for the town and the people they leave behind. The past punctuates this, a painful high school breakup between tragic protagonists, Billy Stevens and Jessica Michaud. I was simultaneously exploring Jessica’s return to Augusta to care for her ailing mother and…

Melting ice in Antarctica could have an impact on ocean currentsJUAN BARRETO/AFP via Getty Images While the melting of the Greenland ice sheet is expected to slow or even collapse the Atlantic Ocean current that keeps Europe warm, meltwater from West Antarctica could preserve this vital current. But it won’t be enough to prevent major changes in the climate. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) would still decline by 60 per cent, and its full recovery would take 3000 years. “I would tend to say, don’t be so quick to say that the AMOC is going to collapse,” says Sacha…

First up: Angie Katsanevas is not burying the hatchet with her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” co-star Lisa Barlow any time soon.

What possessed the Bravo…

Despite only running between 2004 and 2007, To Catch a Predator had an indelible impact on popular culture. Fronted by the journalist Chris Hansen, the 44-minute episodes became must-see TV, as law enforcement set up sting operations around the US to lure sex offenders into the open using actual minors as decoys. The series was also directly responsible for the suicide of a government official, who shot himself shortly after the production team arrived at his house. Soon after that, the show was cancelled, but the genie was out of the bottle.Such a fascinating and formative example of the True Crime Industrial Complex…

You may be familiar with the various memes detailing the fact that once you reach middle age, you’re automatically sorted, Harry Potter hat–style, into one of a handful of hobbies, such as sourdough bread making, gardening, or bird-watching.

Birds are beautiful, interesting, and unpredictable, and it’s fascinating to keep a running life list of all the birds you’ve seen and hope to see in your lifetime.Whether someone you know is…
