Depression may change the brain—but lasting damage isn’t inevitable. 🧠

A 10-year study found that people with a heavier depression burden showed faster gray-matter loss in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

But those with a milder course often had stable brain structure.

Scientists analyzed fossilized T. rex teeth and found an estimated body temperature of 97°F (36°C)—remarkably close to humans.

The finding supports the idea that T. rex was warm-blooded and metabolically active, helping explain how it survived in colder environments.

A drug may stop blood cancer before it fully develops. 🧬

In a Phase 2 trial, teclistamab produced complete responses in 77.8% of people with high-risk smoldering multiple myeloma.

After about 2 years, 92% remained progression-free.

What if civilization could collapse—and still come back? 🌍

Researchers ran 2,000 simulations spanning 1,000 years and found that long-term survival depended heavily on resource consumption and how much knowledge and infrastructure survived a collapse.

Scientists built an antimatter beam to test Einstein’s gravity. ⚛️🌌

Physicists created a fast, narrow beam of muonium, an atom-like particle containing an antimatter antimuon. They hope to measure how it falls under gravity—testing one of Einstein’s deepest predictions.
