And, most importantly, why so hungry?Using his own “brilliant formula” for zombie movies, Schlozman says he can predict the plots of most offspring of “Living Dead.” The similar trajectories of these films tend to begin by introducing “the motley crew of survivors” as an unlikely bunch of heroes.

When cancerous cells form a tumor and begin to grow uncontrollably, they need to induce the formation of new blood vessels to bring them oxygen and nutrients—a process known as angiogenesis. A team of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital has discovered that the main effects of an angiogenesis inhibitor in treating glioblastoma, a severe kind of brain tumor, stem from the reduction of brain swelling, rather than any effect on tumor growth. In these tumors, blood vessels can be leaky, which causes swelling in the brain known as edema. This, in turn, can cause drowsiness, loss...

By the eve of the funeral, after four days of rallying the nation, it was time for another top Italian political leader to begin asking the harder questions that should go hand in hand with solidarity for the victims...
