As It Happens6:08This rare loon brought the Bellagio Hotel's famous Vegas fountain show to a haltWhile it's common to see crowds of people gathered outside the Bellagio Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, they're not usually there for birdwatching. But recently, a rare juvenile yellow-billed loon took up residence in the hotel's artificial lake, putting the Bellagio's famous fountain show on temporary hiatus. "He's been big news for the last week," Kurt Buzard, senior recreation assistant at the Henderson Bird Viewing…

Researchers have used reprogrammed CAR T cells, usually used as a cancer treatment, to target the senescent cells that contribute to aging and later-life diseases. After one treatment, old mice showed improved metabolism and exercise tolerance, while young ones aged slower and were protected from age-related diseases like obesity and diabetes for life.T cells fulfill crucial roles in the body’s immune system. They can act as ‘killer’ cells, attacking cells infected with a virus or other pathogen, or as ‘helper’ cells,…

Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, have discovered that T cells can be genetically modified to target and eliminate senescent cells, which contribute to aging and related diseases. Their findings in mice show that a single treatment with CAR T cells can lead to improved health outcomes, including reduced body weight and enhanced metabolism, with the potential for lifelong benefits.Scientists have discovered that CAR T cells, traditionally used in cancer treatment, can be engineered to fight aging by eliminating…

When the Ghanaian-American singer, songwriter and producer Amaarae emerged internationally from west Africa’s alté scene in 2020, she told Pitchfork: “I want to be the quintessential African princess of pop.” This year, ahead of the release of her second record, Fountain Baby, she had upgraded her ambitions, stating: “Fountain Baby is a pop album above all else. It should not be pigeonholed solely as an ‘Afrobeats’ project.” Defying limited cultural and social imaginations, confidently stating and fulfilling her desires,…

Others have tried this in the past. In 2013 an outfit called Calico Life Sciences was set up under the aegis of Google (now Alphabet), with Larry Page, one of that firm’s founders, as an interested party. It has yet to generate a product. In the same year Craig Venter, who ran a private version of the human genome project, and Peter Diamandis, who started the X Prize Foundation, got together to launch Human Longevity, though they subsequently fell out. That company, too, has gone quiet. And there…

While the potential of a truly global post-internet pop is something that has felt increasingly realised of late, few artists are doing it like Amaarae. Ama Serwah Genfi grew up between Ghana and Atlanta, and her 2020 debut, The Angel You Don’t Know, was blissful. Fountain Baby, her second full-length, feels more ambitious and nonchalant. Her songs here draw on left-leaning US chart music (sonic touchstones include the production work of Timbaland, Missy Elliott and the Neptunes), alongside a broader palette: flashes of…

Casa Bonita has yet to announce a specific reopening date in May, but fans recently got a hint that progress at the beloved restaurant is moving in a promising direction. Earlier this week, 9 News captured aerial footage of Lakewood’s pink palace, now owned by “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, showing the venue’s iconic fountain full of water. Fans may recall that the fountain was razed last June amid concerns about its structural foundation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIblWMkZYpk The footage is…

An enviable life, for sure, and one you can get a small taste of with the Adonit Star: a stylus that masquerades as a swanky Montblanc.For those still determined to keep the stylus dream alive, Adonit remains one of the more respected names in the fieldand has been churning…
