Why Some Scientists Believe the Future of Medicine Lies in Creating Digital Twins
Within the walls of a 19th-century chapel on the outskirts of Barcelona, a heart starts to slowly contract. This is not a real heart but a virtual copy of one that still pounds inside a patient’s chest. With its 100 million patches of simulated cells, the digital twin—a fully functional simulation of human anatomy— pumps at a leisurely pace as it tests treatments, from drugs to implants.
This digital twin pulses within MareNostrum, a supercomputer used by scientists to simulate features of the real world. These simulations can look just like the real thing, but they are vastly more sophisticated than Holl...

Meet NASA ’ s Next Team of Astronauts to Visit the Far Side of the Moon
Time was, there were 24 living astronauts who could boast of having visited the moon. The years and mortality have taken their toll, and half a century on, that rarefied fraternity has dwindled to 10 very old men. Today, however, NASA took a big step toward adding to their ranks, announcing the names of the four astronauts who will fly around the far side of the moon on the Artemis II mission scheduled for launch sometime in November 2024.
The crew is made up of three Americans and one Canadian astronaut, and includes the first woman and first person of color to visit the moon. They will fly a 10-day journey that will swin...

Does Direct-to-Consumer Advertising Directly Harm Patients?
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University recently published an article in JAMA that highlights rising concern around the effects of direct-to-consumer advertising (DTC) on health care. Their work shows that DTC advertising might have direct harm on patients. They studied drug characteristics and total advertising expenditures for the 150 top-selling branded prescription drugs in the United States, finding that total promotional spending by the manufacturer was associated with a significantly lower added clinical benefit for the drug. In fact, companies spent nearly 15% more on DTC advertising for drugs that had demonstrat...

Promising Alzheimer ’s therapy and related drugs shrink brains
A class of Alzheimer’s drugs that aims to slow cognitive decline, including the antibody lecanemab that was granted accelerated

, can cause brain shrinkage, researchers report in a new analysis. Although scientists and drug developers have documented this loss of brain volume in clinical trial participants for years, the scientific review, published yesterday in
Neurology
, is the first to look at data across numerous studies. It also links
the brain shrinkage
to a better known side effect of the drugs, brain swelling, which often presents without sym...

“It’s Worrisome to Not Have Data.” An Expert Questions Whether Air Is Safe After Train Derailment
Questions of air safety remain in East Palestine, Ohio, following the Feb. 3 train derailment that sent industrial chemicals, including the carcinogen vinyl chloride, into the atmosphere. Ohio Governor Mike DeWine cleared residents who had evacuated to return home this week, stating that repeated air testing conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was no longer revealing dangerous levels of any contaminants.
But the agency has yet to publicly release any quantifiable data on the area’s pollution. The result is confusion about exactly what may or may not be lingering in the air, and what that mean...

Chile radio telescope array gains keener vision
ALMA, one of the world’s biggest radio telescope arrays, is getting hardware and software upgrades to allow it to collect much more data and produce sharper images. Announced last week, the latest modernizations to ALMA—officially the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array, which sits high in the Chilean Andes—will cost $37 million and take 6 years to complete. Workers will upgrade the data transmission from the dishes to a central processor. They will also replace the heart of that processor, known as the correlator, a supercomput...
