Equities and the economy
If you invested in the Chinese markets, or for that fact the entire Emerging Market Index, now down 20 percent this year, you’re stuck in bear territory. If you put your money in the American markets, you’re riding on top of what is now the longest bull run in U.S. stock history. What’s next? On...
What the charts say…

Replacing missing brain cells
Scientists at UCLA have been able to regrow working brain cells in empty spaces left in the brain after a stroke. By itself, the brain doesn’t regenerate tissue after a stroke. The damaged cells are absorbed, leaving behind an empty space that never fills. The UCLA researchers solved that problem by injecting a hydrogel material...
Is plastic dead?
Demand for plastics that decompose into environmentally benign components will grow by as much as $100 million a year through 2023, according to a study by IHS Markit, a market analysis firm headquartered in London.

In Japan, a human clinical trial is underway to test a possible cure for Parkinson’s Disease. Researchers will inject human stem cells directly into the brains of Parkinson’s sufferers, specifically into an area of the brain known to be a core location for developing the illness. The researchers reprogrammed stem cells to develop neurons that...
Mobile phones zap teens’ memories
More evidence that cell phones aren’t good for your head.

A majority of...
