Adorable 500-lb teardrop camper pod tests the limits of tiny living

One of the lightest teardrops meant to be pulled by cars (and not bicycles), the Kleox Shelter Travel debuted with a slightly unconventional form three years ago. In place of the usual side entry and tailgate galley, the Shelter Travel combined them into one rear hatch used for entry instead of cooking.

Astrocytes, star-shaped glial cells, can reshape themselves in response to various conditions, including high blood pressure. But the "how" behind this shape-shifting has remained a mystery.
