The Sombrero galaxy has long had a place in astronomical history as an intriguing object. The first written record of this galaxy was noted in 1781, almost 250 years ago, by Pierre Mechain, a French astronomer and surveyor. Mechain was a longtime collaborator of Charles Messier, of the Messier catalog fame.
Diffuse midline glioma (DMG) is a fatal childhood brain tumor characterized primarily by mutant histone H3 (H3K27M). H3K27M causes a global reduction in Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2)-mediated H3K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3). Paradoxically, PRC2 is essential in DMG cells, although the downstream molecular mechanisms are poorly understood.

Mexico's drug cartels are often described as powerful rivals to the state, with their influence measured in weapons, money and murdered officials. But this framing misses a fundamental truth. Organized crime in Mexico is also a system of gendered governance—one that disciplines, controls and sometimes eliminates women to consolidate power.

The White House has seemingly pulled the nomination of NASA administrator Jared Isaacman and said that President Donald Trump would soon name a replacement.
The search for life on other worlds needs a way to sift through the chemistry of their atmospheres. If another species observed Earth to search for life, they'd look for "smoking gun" chemistry in the atmosphere. That includes looking for oxygen, since it is created through photosynthesis by plants and some bacteria. So, the key is to look for life-dependent chemical "signals" at exoplanets.

Scientists like to refer to our planet as residing in the "Goldilocks zone," where it's neither too hot nor too cold, and just the right distance away from the Sun to support life. But in the classic "Goldilocks" fairy tale, our eponymous protagonist is forced to flee from the bear's abode she rudely invited herself into, and never comes back. No more perfect porridges or adequately sized beds. That could be the case for Earth one day, if we are to exhaust this analogy. Instead of being booted out by friendly bears, however, we might be thrown to the curb [...]
