"This is a foundational moment for Precision," Dr. Benjamin Rapoport, Precision's co-founder and chief science officer, said in a statement. Rapoport also helped co-found Musk's Neuralink in 2017 before departing the following year.

European tourists who toted home bottles of water from a holy well in Ethiopia were likely hoping for blessings and spiritual cleansing—but instead carried an infectious curse and got an intestinal power cleanse. Three people in Germany and four in the UK fell ill with cholera after directly drinking or splashing their faces with the holy water. Two required intensive care. Luckily, they all eventually recovered, according to a report in the journal Eurosurveillance. The infections occurred in

More and more people are turning to in vitro fertilization, or IVF, to have babies. The process can be arduous, requiring injections of costly hormones twice a day for two weeks to mature eggs so that they can be retrieved from the body. New York startup Gameto is aiming to ease this burden for patients by maturing eggs outside the body instead. The company’s method replaces 80 percent of the hormone injections needed for traditional IVF, shortening the length of a treatment cycle to a few days

The big picture: Nearly two decades ago, Shinya Yamanaka and Kazutoshi Takahashi discovered they could turn mature somatic cells back into stem cells. The scientists predicted these new cells could be the key to regenerative treatments for serious injuries and conditions.

A pair of Perkins Tractors Have you ever heard of a Perkins Tractor? If you lived in London in the 18th Century, you could buy a pair of Perkins Tractors (shown above) for the steep price of five guineas, and wave them over an aching part of your body for about twenty minutes as a way of relieving your pain. They worked, sort of. People who bought and used Perkins Tractors really did report feeling that their pain had gone away, even though there was no physiological reason they should work. Jo

In clinical trial data released this week, scientists have presented early evidence that it’s possible to delay symptoms in people genetically fated to develop Alzheimer’s at a young age. Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine led the study, which aimed to test whether an experimental anti-amyloid drug called gantenerumab could help people with an inherited form of Alzheimer’s.

The next frontier of stem cell transplantation might involve the eyes. In research out today, scientists report that an experimental therapy has helped people with otherwise untreatable injuries to their corneas. Researchers at Mass Eye and Ear led the study, a Phase I/II clinical trial of 14 patients. In most cases, the therapy—a transplant of stem cells from the person’s other healthy eye—appeared to safely restore the surface of people’s severely damaged corneas, often improving their vision

It is currently impossible to predict when a comatose patient might become conscious again. Some patients wake up minutes or days after a brain injury, while a rare few regain partial consciousness after decades. Others, however, remain unconscious for the rest of their lives. New research suggests that sleep patterns in comatose patients could help predict their chances of waking up. Researchers at Columbia University and New York-Presbyterian Hospital cross-referenced sleep patterns in comato

Oxygen tanks are heavy, costly and dangerous in combat zones. A direct hit from a missile or a bullet can turn a lifesaving resource into a deadly hazard. Marine Corps Gen. Ernest T.
