A meteorite found in the Sahara, NWA 12774, suggests the early solar system may have contained a lost planetary embryo. Analysis of clinopyroxene crystals indicates formation under extreme pressure, implying a parent body much larger than a typical asteroid, possibly approaching lunar size.
A research team led by Tsai Shao-cheng has discovered that the length of primary cilia in the uterine lining is crucial for successful embryo implantation. The study, supported by the National Science and Technology Council, found that these cilia shorten with age and in women with endometriosis. Using a drug to inhibit TGF-β1 signaling restored cilia length in mice, increasing pregnancy rates by 40%.
