This microscope image of the brain region called the hippocampus shows the protein targeted by cannabis-derived CBD, GPR55 (red), and brain cells (blue) that send their extensions out to form the layers seen in the image. The interconnected nature of the hippocampus makes it a major site of for the initiation and spread of seizures. Credit: Tsien et al, Courtesy of Cell Press

Aspergillus is a type of fungus commonly found in soil and decaying organic matter. While some species of Aspergillus are benign, others can cause infections in individuals with weakened immune systems, leading to conditions such as aspergillosis.

A trio of faint objects (circled) captured in the James Webb Space Telescopes deep image of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 exhibit properties remarkably similar to rare, small galaxies called green peas found much closer to home. The clusters mass makes it a gravitational lens, which both magnifies and distorts the appearance of background galaxies. We view these early peas as they existed when the universe was about 5% of its current age of 13.8 billion years. The farthest pea, at left, contains just 2% the oxygen abundance of a galaxy like our own and might be the most chemically primitive galaxy yet identified. Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, and STScI
