Modern life can feel dizzying, like everything is motion and change. But there are some constants we set our lives against: the relative position of the stars wheeling above, the mountaintops below, and the continents on which we walk. These things feel immutable.
Of course, they aren’t.
The beauty of science is how far it extends our view into space and time. We now know the sun and stars whip around the center of our galaxy just as the Earth orbits the sun. The universe’s hundreds of billions of galaxies are likewise in ceaseless motion, colliding and coalescing in deep time.

Many genetic mutations have been found to be associated with a person s risk of developing Parkinson s disease. Yet for most of these variants, the mechanism through which they act remains unclear.
Now a new study in
Nature led by a team from the University of Pennsylvania has revealed how two different variations one that increases disease risk and leads to more severe disease in people who develop Parkinson s and another that reduces risk manifest in the body.
The work, led by Dejian Ren, a professor in the School of Arts & Sciences Department of Biology, showed that the variation that raises disease risk, which about 17% of people possess, causes a reduction in function of an ion channel in cellular organelles called lysosomes, also known as cells waste removal and recycling centers. Meanwhile, a different variation that reduces Parkinson s disease risk by about 20% and is present in 7% of the general population enhances the activity of the same ion channel.
