🔬 A Single Injection Restored Hearing, Ancient Fossils Just Rewrote Evolution & Something In Your Sweat Is Fighting The Flu

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

A groundbreaking gene therapy delivered in a single injection is giving deaf patients the ability to hear within weeks, while researchers have uncovered a 500-million-year-old fossil that pushes the origins of spiders back by 20 million years. Scientists made multiple major Alzheimer's advances this week, including an experimental drug that targets gene regulation at a molecular level and a surprisingly simple nasal swab that could detect the disease years before symptoms appear. A sweeping new review is sounding the alarm on vaping and cancer risk, children's clothing is testing positive for dangerous lead levels, and NASA's Artemis II crew got the green light for a historic lunar orbit — right after fixing a broken toilet in space. Plus, your sweat may be quietly fighting the flu, inconsistent sleep could be doubling your heart disease risk, and science figured out how to make a better french fry.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
