Major findings on inner workings of a brittle star's ability to reversibly control the pliability of its tissues will help researchers solve the puzzle of mutable collagenous tissue (MCT) MCT modulator genes are the specific molecular instructions determining emergent tissue modifications.

This advanced research to pinpoint relevant molecular processes in an echinoderm could eventually open new doors for regenerative therapies.

Unlike humans or mice, brittle stars present unique barriers to research because they are considered "non-model organisms" The research team has outlined significant pathways for future exploration using ISH and RNAi to identify and zero in on the genes that control MCT .

Jacob Machado is hopeful genetic targeting will be the catalyst for a prototype to drive future transformative human biomedical applications.

As animals get older they behave differently depending on their life experiences.

They gain richer knowledge of their environment, and often pass it on to younger members of their group.

Eliminating the largest and most experienced animals can have consequences for group culture and social structures, researchers warn.

Older animals carry vital cultural knowledge and maintain social structures.

Kopf and his co-authors are calling for longevity conservation’ which would mean targeted policies to protect old individuals.

Authors state: “Old animals play a vital role in the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem services and therefore require dedicated policy directives, political motivation and careful management”.

Ballad Health , a 20 -hospital system in northeastern Tennessee and southwestern Virginia , is the only option for hospital care in a large swath of Appalachia .

Some local residents have become wary, afraid, or unwilling to seek care at Ballad hospitals.

Ballad formed six years ago when lawmakers in both states, in an effort to prevent hospital closures, waived federal antitrust laws.

Ballad Health was created in the nation’s biggest hospital merger, based on what called a Certificate of Certificate of Public Advantage , or COPA .

Ballad is now the only option for hospital for most of the 1.1 million people in a 29 -county region.

Despite concerns, Tennessee and Virginia officials have each year determined that the benefits of the monopoly outweigh negative impacts.

In 2020 , Bristol Regional Medical Center CEO resigned after it was discovered he made the initial incision in a heart surgery despite not being a doctor.

In 2022 , 14 cardiologists signed a letter warning of “severe limitations” in the Bristol Regional cardiac catheterization lab.

In 2023 , Ballad Health was ranked last among 200 large health care organizations in an analysis of nurse satisfaction.

Hubble, Spitzer , Compton , and Chandra space telescopes have revealed some amazing things about the universe.

With the success of these observatories and the James Webb Space Telescope , NASA is contemplating future missions that would reveal even more of the "unseen universe" This includes the UltraViolet Explorer (UVEX), a space telescope NASA plans to launch in 2030 as its next Astrophysics Medium-Class Explorer mission.

Mission to Analyze the UltraViolet universE (MAUVE) is a wide-field spectrometer and imager.

MAUVE seeks to study the atmospheric escape of sub-Neptunes, which is hypothesized to be due to either photoevaporation or core-powered mass loss.

This will help us understand the habitability of extrasolar systems' environments, as well as the formation and evolution of exoplanets and their atmospheres.
