Infographic from JAMA comparing budesonide and surfactant vs surfactant alone for reducing bronchopulmonary dysplasia/death in preterm infants. It includes population data (320 male, 319 female), intervention details, and findings showing no significant difference between groups.

In extremely preterm infants, intratracheal budesonide mixed with surfactant did not reduce bronchopulmonary dysplasia or death by 36 weeks' postmenstrual age.

This figure illustrates molecules and minerals discovered in samples of near-Earth asteroid Bennu, which were delivered to Earth by NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission in September 2023. The upper left panel depicts precursor molecules like ammonia and formaldehyde, while the upper right depicts salts and clays. These early ingredients mixed with water inside the parent body to undergo chemical reactions and synthesize organic molecules, shown at bottom. The lower right panel depicts nucleobases, the genetic components of DNA and RNA, while the lower left depicts amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. The Bennu samples contain all five of the nucleobases that are found in DNA and RNA, and 14 of the 20 amino acids that life uses to build proteins. Credit: NASA

Rock and dust samples brought back from the near-Earth asteroid Bennu contain organic matter, including amino acids and all five DNA and RNA nucleobases, according to two papers in Nature Astronomy and Nature.
