(Frans Lanting/Nat Geo Image Collection) “The stability and resilience of our planet is in peril.” Evidence is mounting that abrupt and irreversible shifts in the Earth system — such as the loss of the Amazon rainforest or the West Antarctic ice sheet — are more likely than was thought.

Swapping the stem cells with an inflammation-inducing chemical — or even bits of dead cells — worked, too, indicating that inflammation set of... mais »
