We summarize the week's scientific breakthroughs every Thursday.
Golden apple snails can regrow full, functional eyes. Studying their genes may reveal how to repair human eye injuries.
The superclouds probably produce star-forming clouds of gas, since most nearby stellar nurseries are located within the giants.
A trove of fossils, including a penis worm with a spiked, invertible throat, suggests this spot may have been a cradle of Cambrian evolution.
