GSK announced a major breakthrough concerning cancer therapy. A drug called Jemperli (dostarlimab) showed impressive results in a phase 2 trial at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK). The study included 42 patients suffering from mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) locally advanced rectal cancer, a type of bowel cancer.

Used as a first-line treatment and an alternative to chemotherapy and surgery, Jemperli cured cancer in all patients, showing “an unprecedented 100% clinical complete response rate.” Tests that followed showed no evidence of remaining tumors. Moreover, the first 24 of the 42 patients were observed after an average time of 26.3 months, and they showed no signs of cancer resurfacing.

GSK will test the drug in additional studies involving certain types of colorectal cancers.

Welcome to episode 2 of our behind-the-scenes series as we document space exploration. In this episode, join our team as we capture slow-motion footage of SpaceX’s Starship at Starbase, record powerful liftoff audio, share stereoscopic VR from up close, and journey to the top of NASA’s Vehicle Assembly Building for an exciting astronaut launch. Thank you for watching!

Nvidia stock has surged by more than 700% since the start of last year, boosting CEO Jensen Huang’s wealth by about $93 billion.

Starship Flight Test 4 (unofficially IFT-4) will be the 4th flight of Starship. The current launch date is set for NET June 6, 2024. [1] Ship 29 (S29) and Booster 11 (B11) will be used for this mission. Both vehicles have received upgrades since Flight 3. The fourth flight test of Starship is currently planned for the 6th of June, 2024 at 7 am CDT, pending regulatory approval. The test profile of this mission is almost identical to the one on Flight 3, but there are some changes. The most notable of these changes are the jettison of the hot stage ring from B11 and a soft, engine powered landing for S29. The goals for the fourth flight per SpaceX: \.

[TIME SUBJECT TO CHANGE] This is the fourth fully integrated full stack test flight of Starship and the mighty Super Heavy booster, the largest and most powerful rocket to ever fly. It produces over twice as much thrust as the Saturn V that took humans to the moon.

The goal of the test is to get further along than IFT-3 in March, 2024. If all goes well, Starship will re-enter in the Indian Ocean about 65 minutes after it lifts off from Starbase, TX, on a suborbital trajectory.

US company introduces the world’s first seedless blackberry, revolutionizing fruit consumption and market dynamics.

Senescent cells, often described as zombie-like, are ones that have stopped dividing but are still alive.

Research led by the lab of Nancy M. Bonini of the School of Arts & Sciences have uncovered new details about the role of zombie-like cells in brain aging, using the fruit fly as a model.
