Researchers are growing three-dimensional organ-buds (organoid cultures) of pancreatic tumors, which could be a potential breakthrough in resolving the effects of pancreatic cancer among patients, at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Scientists may have solved the mystery of organic matter found in lunar samples from the Apollo missions. The findings may tell researchers a bit more about the moon and about future samples that are taken.
Astronomers have created the first ever chronographic map, or age map, of the halo of the Milky Way galaxy.
