- 1Lab-grown meat revolution fails to materialize●Where's the Beef?: The lab-grown-meat revolution that wasn't
A new Harper's Magazine essay examines why lab-grown meat, once promoted as a revolutionary alternative to conventional livestock, has not delivered on its promises. The piece looks at the gap between early hype from startups and investors and the slow pace of commercialization, high production costs, and limited consumer adoption of cultivated meat products.
- 2Theoretical physics sheds light on tumour DNA mechanisms●Theoretical physics helps unveil the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours
Researchers, including the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics, report that theoretical physics methods have helped reveal the molecular mechanisms of extra-chromosomal DNA in tumours. These DNA fragments, found outside normal chromosomes in cancer cells, are linked to tumour evolution and drug resistance. The work shows physics-based modelling can contribute to cancer biology, drawing attention across the physics and medical research communities.
