Scientists developed a single standardized method to grow 3D airway organoids — miniature respiratory organs — from tissue samples of 10 different wildlife species, including red pandas and Goeldi's monkeys. The results accurately matched known real-world influenza infection patterns, with no live animals harmed.

Labor-Miniorgane ersetzen Tierversuche bei 10 Wildtierarten

MEDICAL XPRESS

Wissenschaftler haben eine einheitliche Methode entwickelt, um unzählige Tierversuche zu verhindern, indem sie winzige Atemwegsorganoide aus Gewebeproben im Labor kultivieren. Testergebnisse stimmten präzise mit bekannten realen Infektionsmustern bei Influenza überein — ohne ein einziges Tier zu schädigen.

The latest funding follows California’s first drop in unsheltered homelessness in 15 years and will support rapid rehousing, rental help, youth services, shelter upgrades and long-term housing across various counties. More than 100,000 people have already been helped into permanent housing through the wider program, with stricter accountability measures now tied to results.

New research shows that the "defocused attention" typical of ADHD is also a powerful driver of creative thinking. Activities like art, music, dance, writing, and gaming can provide structured ways to channel this trait — and may strengthen the neural networks involved in attention control, reducing impulsivity and hyperactivity. ADHD affects nearly 8% of children worldwide.

Off Dominica in the Caribbean, scientists studying nearly 4,000 sperm whale codas found the animals combine click patterns in ways strikingly similar to human speech. Their “vowel-like” sounds shift in tone and timing, creating rich structures that may carry meaning — a major step toward understanding one of Earth’s most social species.

After years of drought worsened by upstream dams and climate change, winter rains have returned water to 85% of Iraq's Huwaizah Marshes — millennia-old Mesopotamian wetlands fed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. Fish, buffaloes, and migratory birds are back, and Iraq's Water Ministry reports the Tigris reservoirs are nearly full.
