Scientists Grow Mouse Embryos in a Mechanical Womb
Biologists have long held that a fetus needs a living uterus to develop. Maybe not anymore.

The mouse embryos looked perfectly normal. All their organs were developing as expected, along with their limbs and circulatory and nervous systems. Their tiny hearts were beating at a normal 170 beats per minute.
But these embryos were not growing in a mother mouse. They were developed inside an artificial uterus, the first time such a feat has been accomplished, scientists reported on Wednesday.

Patients with a history of cocaine use who present with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction have a lower risk of future major adverse cardiovascular events if treated invasively rather than with a more-conservative approach, according to a new retrospective study.
Overall, invasive management, which included coronary angiography followed by PCI or CABG if needed, lowered the risk of MACE at 6 months by 28% compared with a noninvasive strategy.
The results, however, point to one of the major challenges in treating patients with cocaine-associated NSTEMI, namely their ability to adhere to posttreatment dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT). While there was no greater risk of emergent revascularization in the overall cohort, that risk was significantly elevated among patients deemed nonadherent to medical therapy who’d been treated with a drug-eluting stent, report researchers.
New Clues Uncovered about Toxic Protein Structures in Neurodegenerative Diseases

Transactive response DNA-binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a soluble protein that interacts with nucleic acids. However, in several neurodegenerative disorders, this protein forms large, harmful rope-like clumps. These abnormal structures, known as amyloid fibrils, are a signature of brain pathology in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Similar inclusions have also been found in several other disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease, cerebral age-related TDP-43 with sclerosis, dementia with Lewy bodies, hippocampal sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
By using cryo-electron microscopy, scientists at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine were able to determine the structures of TDP-43. This structural insight provides clues as to how these toxic proteins clump and spread between nerve cells in the b

The Whitest Law School Report has been released and high level law schools are bragging about where they rated in the report. This a powerful reminder white privilege isn’t real, but rabid anti-white insanity now occupies the minds of our elites, determining virtually every decision made in the private and public sector.

College and universities across America brag about a variety of statistics: student GPAs, graduate income ranges, growth of in-demand fields, etc. However, at high-level law schools in 2021, all of that is secondary to one statistic: the level of “whiteness.”
