Resuscitated human retinas respond to light 10 hours after death 09. July 2026 (18:00) Perfusing donor human retinas with blood and oxygen meant they continued to respond to light for up to 10 hours after death, marking a significant step towards eye transplants that restore vision(New Scientist)

Injection halves risk of chromosome error common in older human eggs 09. July 2026 (14:00) Egg cells missing a key protein may be more likely to end up with the wrong number of chromosomes, but an mRNA injection that helps the cells make the protein reduces the problem(New Scientist)

A worm that lived half a billion years ago preferred turning right 09. July 2026 (12:32) Fossils of Spriggina floundersi provide the earliest evidence of animals favouring one side of the body over the other – a feature of nervous systems that we see in our own right- and left-handedness(New Scientist)
