Long overlooked, menstrual stem cells could be the source of important medical applications. Roughly 20 years ago, a biologist named Caroline Gargett went in search of some remarkable cells in tissue that had been removed during hysterectomy surgeries. The cells came from the endometrium, which lines the inside of the uterus.

The first FDA-approved treatment using CRISPR may see hundreds of African Americans cured of sickle cell disease. Making headlines without end for years, but only approved for trials, a CRISPR product is now finally on the shelves, so to speak, and this iteration of the treatment is called Casgevy and manufactured by Vertex Pharmaceuticals.

Fresh organic tomatoes fetch high market prices, especially heirloom varieties that offer superior flavor and unique color patterns. However, a diverse and virulent complex of fungal, water mold, and bacterial pathogens threaten organic tomato production. Ongoing efforts to develop improved tomato varieties for organic producers have made significant progress toward new varieties that demonstrate stable, multi-gene resistance to several pathogens while retaining good flavor.

If you're thinking that Texas is going to legalize marijuana anytime soon, think again. Marijuana may enjoy public support, but that support isn't likely to cause widespread turnover in Texas Legislature. Unless and until that happens, Texas will remain weed free, with the exception of low-level medicinal products.

You're driving somewhere, eyes on the road, when you start to feel a tingling sensation in your lower abdomen. That extra-large Coke you drank an hour ago has made its way through your kidneys into your bladder. "Time to pull over," you think, scanning for an exit ramp. To most people, pulling into a highway rest stop is a profoundly mundane experience.
