Detailed lung cell map uncovers new pieces of the asthma puzzle

Considering how common asthma is, it's rather surprising that we don't know all that much about how the condition works. Now, as part of the Human Cell Atlas initiative researchers have mapped the different types of cells in the lungs, and spotted some crucial new differences between healthy and asthma-affected airways that could inspire some new drug targets.

Nintendo’s mobile Dr. Mario is coming out in a few weeks

Nintendo has announced the release date for its latest mobile game. Dr. Mario World will be available for iOS and Android on July 10th, with pre-registration now open on the iOS App Store and Google Play. The title was first revealed in January.

A new trailer posted today gives the first real look at the game, which appears to be pretty different from other versions of Dr. Mario. Instead of managing capsules as they fall down the screen Tetris-style, Dr. Mario World sees you drag them directly onto the pre-arranged play field.

The game also has typical free-to-play mobile trappings like countdown timers and multiple currencies, but a puzzle game like Dr. Mario might at least be a better fit for that sort of thing than Mario Kart, which...

Through a string of interesting studies scientists have been able to probe the links between blood flow to the brain and declining cognitive function.

Scientists in the Netherlands have now uncovered another candidate, finding an existing drug used for hypertension was able to boost blood flow to memory and learning regions in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.

Airbus flight tests plane with flapping wing-tips inspired by the albatross

Taking their cues from the birds, Airbus engineers have flown a scale-model airplane that incorporates flapping wing-tips. Based on the structure of the albatross wing, the remote-controlled AlbatrossOne uses a "semi-aeroelastic hinge" concept that reacts to turbulence and wind gusts to minimize their effects and reduce stress on the airframe.

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite trailer shows avatar creation for Ministry ID

A brand new trailer for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite shows off gameplay and shows up personalize avatar for your in-game Ministry ID!

The hyped behin Niantic's —developers behind Pokémon GO — new AR location-based mobile game Harry Potter:Wizards Unite is growing strong! With the official release date, but a ton of speculation that it's coming very soon, a new gameplay trailer for the upcoming game has hit YouTube as an unlisted video according to Wizard Unite World.

A new #WizardsUnite trailer has dropped. Showing a deep look at gameplay. Check it out: https://t.co/gbHppcGmYf

— Wizards Unite World (@WizardsUWorld) June 17, 2019

The trailer features much of the same gameplay we have seen in the beta version available in Australia and New Zealand right now, but one thing sticks out as new. The trailer features players taken selfies and creating a personalized avatar photo for the in-game Ministry ID.

The photo editor appears to be inside the game, and will even allow players to add filters that apply funny hats and glasses (which look a lot like a certain famous Wizard's glasses) to your face in order to make the best avatar you can. It appears this avatar will then be fixed to your Ministry ID — AKA your player profile — in the game.

Great accessories for Harry Potter: Wizards Unite!
