## Resource

Scientists studying axolotls, zebrafish, and mice have identified a shared set of genes that may hold the key to human limb regeneration — and a gene therapy approach has already partially restored regrowth in mice. A new shingles vaccine study is turning heads in cardiology after patients with heart disease showed dramatically fewer heart attacks, strokes, and deaths within a year of getting the shot. Researchers have also discovered that THC doesn't just cloud memories — it can fabricate entirely false ones, with major implications for eyewitness testimony and beyond. On the quantum frontier, Oxford physicists have achieved a world-first demonstration of 'quadsqueezing,' unlocking a powerful new tool for the next generation of quantum computers. We also cover a fat cell protein with a secret second job, a bacteria-hijacking cancer therapy, NASA's plasma thruster breakthrough, and a common supplement that may be doing something surprising for your brain.
