Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:44:09 GMT

For the first time, scientists have created baby mice from two males. This raises the distant possibility of using the same technique for people – although experts caution that very few mouse embryos developed into live mouse pups and no one knows whether it would work for humans.

Still, “It’s a very clever strategy," said Diana Laird, a stem cell and reproductive expert at the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the research. "It’s an important step in both stem cell and reproductive biology.” Scientists described their work in a study published Wednesday in the journal Nature. First, they took skin cells from the tails of male mice and transformed them into “induced pluripotent stem cells,” which can develop into many different types of cells or tissues. Then, through a process that involved growing them and treating them with a drug, they converted male mou...

Him Again: Ville Valo is back with a solo project and familiar sound

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:44:09 GMT

Him Again: There was a period in the mid-naughts when Finnish gothic rock band HIM broke, and it felt like people basically melted. Every human being who was attracted to men, and a few who previously didn’t know that they were, seemed to gush over impossibly charismatic frontman Ville Valo and the music that he and his band tagged “love metal.”The band was about more than a handsome goth frontman though, that “love metal” was really a contemporary take on poetic goth, with some crunchy riffs. It was sweeter than bands such as Paradise Lost or Type O Negative that were floating around at the time, but heavier than old vamp faves like Bauhaus and the Mission. When Kat Von D and Jackass’ Bam Margera publicly professed their love for HIM, it all clicked.Valo rode that wave with his bandmates for a while. 2013’s Tears on Tape was HIM’s eighth and final studio album, a full decade ago now. Valo has been keeping busy between that and Neon Noir, his new solo album (released under the monik...
