Summary: Chronic pain affects nearly 50 million Americans, yet new research reveals the brain may have an internal switch that can turn it down. Scientists identified a group of neurons in the brainstem that regulate long-term pain by integrating signals related to hunger, fear, and thirst. When survival needs take priority, these neurons dampen pain through neuropeptide Y signaling, suggesting …

A recent study concludes that Uranus’s moon Ariel likely carried a deep, hidden ocean, and that its orbit once stretched enough to split the surface. The analysis ties a pattern of fractures and smooth plains to water under ice and to orbital tugging that loaded the crust until it failed. The modeling points to an orbital eccentricity near …

Gold may not literally grow on trees, but a groundbreaking study from Finland suggests that nature may come close. Researchers investigating Norway spruce trees in northern Finland found tiny gold nanoparticles inside tree needles. Surprisingly, these particles appear to form with the help of microbes living inside the needles. The study, conducted by the University of Oulu and the Geological …

Summary: Scientists have developed a powerful new imaging method that reveals how immune cells in the eye behave long before visible damage occurs in diabetic retinopathy. Using a combination of a head-fixation device, contact lenses, and a custom objective lens, researchers were able to capture live, high-resolution images of microglia activity in diabetic mice. They found that microglia—the retina’s immune …
