## Resource

In a world-first discovery, researchers have found that human heart muscle cells can actually regrow after a cardiac event — a finding that could reshape how we treat heart disease forever. Scientists have also identified a critical vulnerability in so-called 'zombie cells,' opening the door to powerful new cancer and anti-aging therapies. Meanwhile, Johns Hopkins researchers are challenging over a century of neuroscience by revealing that neurons may be structured in a way nobody expected. On the prehistoric front, new research is upending the long-held explanation for why insects once grew to monstrous sizes, and the real answer is stranger than you'd think. Plus: two of America's most dangerous fault lines may be more dangerously linked than we ever realized. Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/ Love Science?
