"Clouded leopards play a big role in keeping forests healthy... they help control the number of smaller animals like deer, monkeys, rodents. When prey populations stay balanced, the entire ecosystem works better. Plants grow without being overgrazed, other animals can find food and space to live."

Two independent clinical trials demonstrate safety of stem cell therapies for Parkinson’s disease. They investigate the use of cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells and human embryonic stem cells, respectively.

Phase I trial of hES cell-derived dopaminergic neurons for Parkinson’s disease - Nature
Bilateral grafts of cryopreserved human embryonic stem cell-derived dopaminergic neuron progenitor cells into the putamen of patients with Parkinson’s disease in a phase I clinical trial showed safety, improvements in off-drug motor function and graft survival at 18 months after transplant.

Friday ice update - #Arctic sea ice extent is currently the lowest on record (JAXA data)

• about 500,000 km² below the 2010s mean
• about 990,000 km² below the 2000s mean
• about 1,380,000 km² below the 1990s mean
• about 1,910,000 km² below the 1980s mean

Line graph time series of 2025's daily Arctic sea ice extent compared to decadal averages from the 1980s to the 2010s. The decadal averages are shown with different colored lines with purple for the 1980s, blue for the 1990s, green for the 2000s, and white for the 2010s. Thin white lines are also shown for each year from 2000 to 2024. 2025 is shown with a thick gold line. There is a long-term decreasing trend in ice extent for every day of the year shown on this graph between January and April by looking at the decadal average line positions.

I published this figure in 2017 showing how herbicide use has increased in maize, soybean, cotton, rice and wheat from 1990 to 2015. www.nature.com/articles/nco...
Figure showing the steady increase in herbicide use intensity in U.S. crops. Nearly all crops show a steady, linear increase except soybean, which decreased until around 2006, then increased until the end of the study (around 2015).
