Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine and Hospital for Special Surgery have discovered the unspecialized stem cells that give rise to the body's tendons and ligaments, the tissues connecting muscles and bones.
Tech Xplore / Invention may bring smart bionic eye into sight
A working prototype that can see, remember and interact with the world like the human brain could one day underpin smart bionic eyes while using far less energy than today's technologies. The invention from RMIT University ...
Phys.org / 'Quiet' pulsar suddenly reveals three glitches in 15 years of observations
Using more than 15 years of observations from the Parkes radio telescope, astronomers detected three rotational glitches in the pulsar PSR J1637−4642—a young neutron star that had shown no signs of glitches since its discovery. ...
Medical Xpress / Dementia prevention can't rely on individual choices alone, new study finds
Efforts to prevent dementia may be placing too much responsibility on people's choices while overlooking the wider social and environmental conditions that shape brain health, according to new Curtin University research published ...

Phys.org / 'Heel-strike' may have allowed early humans to walk farther—at the cost of high-impact forces
The average person takes thousands of steps each day, instinctively walking heel-to-toe. Although they hardly register them, those consistent heel-first strides are more distinctive to humans than previously thought and allowed ...
Phys.org / Untangling the meta-biomaterial puzzle one property at a time
From repairing damaged tissues to developing better implants, many medical developments depend on materials that can mimic the complex properties of human tissue. Meta-biomaterials are among the most promising candidates. ...
Phys.org / Climate change may erase 25 million hectares of kelp forests by 2050
