What human brain tissue transplanted into mice showed us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A study published in September in Nature by neuroscientist Sergiu Pașca’s group at Stanford University reports an experiment that sounds almost like science fiction. Human brain tissue grown from stem cells was transplanted into mice in which much of the cerebral cortex had been genetically prevented from forming. The transplanted tissue grew into this vacant space, produced several types of human brain cells, became electrically active, connected with the mouse nervous system and was associated
Why does male contraception still lag so far behind? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
World Contraception Day on September 26 offers an opportunity to look closely at a part of family planning that receives very little attention: contraception for men. The key question here is why the range of methods available to men and women remains so different. Women today have options including oral pills, injectables, implants, intrauterine devices and permanent sterilisation, though access and affordability to safe and reliable contraception in our country continues to remain a major chal
Why the FSSAI is also putting liquor under the scanner (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On August 11, 2026, the Southern Regional Office of the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) inspected a licensed distillery in Tamil Nadu.

Read excerpt
Anyone waiting for municipal approval of a building plan may wonder why a local body should regulate construction on private land. In the Madras Presidency, such powers were formalised under the Madras City Municipal Corporation Act, 1919. After Independence, the first Conference of State Ministers on Town and Country Planning in 1960 gave impetus to master plans, planning legislation and similar regulatory systems across India. Behind these powers lay a public health purpose: ensuring proper dr
What we can learn from nature switching off human genes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some people can live apparently ordinary lives even when both copies of a gene (one inherited from the mother and the other from the father) have stopped working. Until their DNA is sequenced, they may never know that this has happened. A large study from Pakistan, published in Nature (June 2026), has now identified such naturally occurring ‘human knockouts’ on an unprecedented scale. Among 1,73,303 participants, about one in five carried at least one gene in which loss-of-function variants had
