Circular RNAs accumulate in aging human placental tissue and in stillbirth, leading to DNA damage and cellular senescence
Stillbirth is defined as a fetal death before the birth of a baby of either (1) ≥20 completed weeks’ gestation or (2) ≥400 g birthweight.1 Annually, there are 2 million stillbirths worldwide,2 with ∼2...

Cancer more deadly when tumours lack Y chromosomes — and the loss could be contagious
Losing the Y chromosome seems to make cancer cells more aggressive in men and the phenomenon might even spread between cells.
