The US stops nearly all foreign aid as Trump pushes America-First policy.For decades, the United States has been the largest single donor of aid globally.

Illustration of the heart muscle patchEva Meyer-Besting/UNIVERSITÄTSMEDIZIN GÖTTINGEN A muscle patch crafted from stem cells has improved cardiac function in monkeys with heart disease. It is now being tested in a small number of people, with early results from the first recipient suggesting it could treat advanced heart failure. Heart failure – when the heart can’t pump enough blood to meet the body’s demands – usually occurs after a heart attack permanently damages or weakens the organ.
