If I were to bet that the majority of physicians are familiar with that pit in their stomach—that sinking feeling of dread that comes with recognizing things aren’t going well—I’d probably win that bet.

The anxious brain is a watchman on steroids, wired to perceive danger at every turn. This extreme vigilance activates biological stress responses that exacerbate anxiety, creating a vicious loop. Breaking this cycle is key to treating anxiety, but traditional pharmacotherapies are moderately effective and have significant side effects.

Bloody Brilliant! Scientists Get to the Heart of Blood Formation

Getting blood from a stone is impossible, but growing blood from 3D mini hearts is now a reality. A research team led by Robert Zweigerdt, a developmental biologist at the Hannover Medical School, previously used human pluripotent stem cells to produce heart-forming organoids (HFOs) in a dish.1 These mini primordial heart constructs display the multiple tissue layers that exist in the developing human heart. They also contain the latent capacity to produce blood cells.
