“Cartilage doesn’t heal.” That’s what doctors often tell us when we injure the flexible tissue that lines our hips, knees and shoulders or when osteoarthritis has eroded it so that our joints hurt when we move. I’ve certainly heard it myself from orthopedic surgeons who explain that cartilage has no blood supply to bring repair cells and nutrients to an injury site. Yet it’s always struck me as improbable that a living tissue could not replace damaged cells. As it turns out, recent research suggests that articular cartilage—the type in our joints—does have some limited repair capacity. New insights into…

While InSight’s pair of solar panels, each one shaped like a decagonal (10-sided) pie, efficiently provide solar power to the lander, dust has always been its Achilles’ heel. While dust storms come by frequently—though not as intensely as portrayed in The Martian—they emerge more often during the summer, says Raymond Arvidson, a planetary scientist at Washington University in St. Louis and a member of the Mars Science Laboratory and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter teams. Over time, dust continually collected atop the flat, horizontal solar arrays, which started off near-black, but are now almost completely a dusty auburn. This has limited the…
One of the most exciting things about the latest season of Stranger Things is that there’ve been a couple of rock and metal call outs, especially related to the character Eddie Munson. One of the bands referenced was Dio, and Wendy Dio assured that Ronnie would’ve loved seeing his group acknowledged in the show.In the Netflix series, Munson’s character sports a denim jacket with a huge Dio patch on the back, which was donated to them for use by the Ronnie James Dio estate.”What happened was, originally, this was before the pandemic hit.

Melissa Krechmer, a social worker in Philadelphia, grew tired of hearing the same refrain from each of her doctors. “I’d go to my allergist, and they would [say], ‘You need to take your Zyrtec, but you also need to lose weight,’” Krechmer says. “It’d be every time, no matter what type of visit.” This went on for years, even as her repeated attempts to lose weight only led her to disordered eating. It made Krechmer stop seeking care altogether. Krechmer’s story is not uncommon. Many heavier patients report avoiding medical care for fear of mistreatment because of their size—just one…

If you’ve been paying attention to book news at all, you know that censorship attempts are at a high we haven’t seen in decades. Queer books and books by and about people of color are being targeted the most, with teachers and librarians being accused of “grooming” kids by stocking diverse books in their libraries or including them in curriculum. For anyone who lived through the ’80s or ’90s, it’s an unsettling echo of how gay teachers were accused of pedophilia at that time. It’s hard to overstate how much this is rolling back years of hard-won progress, and kids…

A research group, utilizing inexpensive elements, has demonstrated the feasibility of synthesizing electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). If explored further, this method could reduce industrial reliance on rare metals such as cobalt and nickel. Details of their results were published in the American Chemical Society’s journal ACS Applied Energy Materials on April 11, 2022. Rare metals are widely used because they form a suitable crystal structure for LIBs’ key component — cathode materials. In these materials, lithium is easily and reversibly extracted/inserted. Scientists have long sought ways to incorporate other inexpensive elements into the crystal structure. Yet, just like…

What’s got them trending with a viral video is their song choice, delivering a cringeworthy performance of Journey’s ’80s hit “Don’t Stop Believin’,” which feels quite tone deaf after their recent business exploits.The video was posted by an audience member using the Twitter handle Arch Nem this…

Graphics show how reefs around the globe are faring Credit: Katie PeekAdvertisement The United Nations recently released a sweeping report on the health of the planet’s coral. Healthy reef cover—where squishy polyps and colorful algae coat the white skeletons of hard coral—has dropped 14 percent in the past decade. Coastal development, ocean plastic pollution and overfishing all take their toll, allowing destructive algae to proliferate. But warming oceans, which bleach coral, are the biggest threat to reefs worldwide. The all too familiar story has a few bright spots, however. Coral rebounded after major bleaching events in 1998 and 2005, showing…

Image of Salmonella bacteria set against an illustration of the 3-D tissue model used in the study. Credit: Salmonella graphic by drmicrobe, public domain Infectious microbes have evolved sophisticated means to invade host cells, outwit the body’s defenses and cause disease. While researchers have tried to puzzle out the complicated interactions between microorganisms and the host cells they infect, one facet of the disease process has often been overlooked—the physical forces that impact host-pathogen interactions and disease outcomes. In a new study, corresponding authors Cheryl Nickerson, Jennifer Barrila and their colleagues demonstrate that under low fluid shear force conditions that…
