Finally, researchers are closing in on an oral male contraceptive pill that works without hormones, offers full reversibility and – most strikingly – has caused zero side effects. The pill, called YCT-529, which has an entirely new kind of contraceptive mechanism, has passed a critical human safety benchmark and will now advance to efficacy trials, and it could potentially be widely available within a few years.

Back in 1954, archaeologists uncovered a hidden shrine deep beneath a Greek settlement in Paestum (southern Italy). Inside, they found bronze jars arranged around an iron bed. The jars held a waxy, scented paste that hinted at something ancient and once fluid. Sealed with cork and marked with traces on their surfaces, the vessels held a sticky secret.

The sutures used to help close up large cuts and surgical incisions mostly get the job done, but they're far from perfect. A new biocompatible polymer that helps glue and repair tissue without causing damage – initially developed at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) – might be a better way to heal wounds.

Some cancer cells don't die; they go quiet, like seeds lying dormant in the soil. These "sleeper cells," scattered throughout the body, can stay inactive for years. But when the body faces a respiratory virus like influenza or SARS-CoV-2, the resulting inflammation (both locally in the lungs and systemically throughout the body) acts like an alarm clock. It jolts these silent cells awake, especially in the lungs, giving them a chance to grow and spread.
