James Gandolfini has reportedly died while in Italy, according to Deadline.com.
According to the website, the “Sopranos” star was in the country for a film festival. Variety also initially reported that he suffered a fatal stroke, but both the trade site and Deadline.com updated the cause of death to a heart attack.
Gandolfini was 51 years old and is survived by a wife and two children. He became a household star for his portrayal of mob boss Tony Soprano on “The Sopranos,” a role which earned him three Emmys on six total nominations. “Absolutely stunned,” Chris Albrecht, the former chairman and CEO of HBO who greenlit “The Sopranos” told Deadline. “I got the word from [‘Sopranos’ star] Lorraine Bracco and just got off with [producer] Brad Grey who had just heard from [show creator] David Chase. We had all become a family. This is a tremendous loss.”

James Gandolfini has died at age 51.

BY CHRISTINA HARTMAN They say among the things that make humans unique: Our opposable thumbs, which, by the way, we do share with some primates. But in any case, if a person were to lose a thumb in, say, an accident, we don’t have the same regenerative abilities as a lizard. Or do we? PopSci reports , there’s new hope we humans can do the same with severed limbs. You’ve probably heard about cases where people have had the tips of their fingers severed and then seemed to grow back. Back in 2010, this woman — Deepa Kularni — was able to grow back a part of her pinky finger with the help of ground-up pig bladder. NYU scientists went looking for answers. Basically, they discovered they could force the production of a family of stem cells called Wnts in mice, which were able to regrow both bone and tissue. And they confirmed, we have a family of stem cells found in the base of the nail that CAN stimulate regeneration. Those stem cells, by the way, can be found at the base of the fingernail. They tested the theory on mice — cuz you know — you can’t go severing human fingertips for the sake of testing — but they’re hopeful digit parts could be regenerated the way they did with mice. So you could say researchers “nailed” regeneration. In fact, that’s what The Scientist’s Sabrina Richards says — only — it’s just a step in the right direction: “ An important first step will be identifying other important molecules the nail stem cells release to regulate regeneration…” Researchers say they’re looking for ways to transplant the nail stem cells.

Two months after a woman died after receiving butt-enhancement injections, police are ramping up their investigation of a West Miami-Dade strip mall beauty clinic.
Suyima Torres reportedly visited Cuerpos Health and Aesthetics in April for a $1,500 procedure in which an oily yellow substance was injected into each of her butt cheeks, according to court documents obtained by CBS4.
Weeks later, Torres underwent a second round of injections and soon thereafter felt dizzy, dying ten hours later, CBS4 reports.
Although her cause of death is still undetermined, Torres wouldn’t be the first South Floridian to risk their life for a larger behind.

How did the chicken lose its penis? By killing off the growing appendage in the egg.
That’s the finding of a new study, which reveals how most birds evolved to lose their external genitalia. Turns out, a particular protein released during the development of chickens, quail and most other birds nips penis development in the bud, according to the new research, published today (June 6) in the journal Current Biology.
The findings have implications for genital development in general, which is important because birth defects in the external genitalia are among the most common congenital defects in humans, said study researcher Martin Cohn, a developmental biologist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the University of Florida.

The chicken embryo develops the beginnings of a penis, but the growth of the organ halts and regresses before hatching.

What might humans look like in the distant future?
Nickolay Lamm, a Pittsburgh-based artist, has created four sci-fi-like illustrations showing one idea of what changes to the human genome may do to the human face 20,000 years, 60,000 years, and 100,000 years hence. The images are based on hypotheses put forth by Dr. Alan Kwan, an expert on computational genomics.

As the sun shutters the world, city lights crackle to life.
There’s a dancing curtain of aurora borealis. And stars seemingly swarming all around.
This is Earth, as seen from hundreds of kilometres away, by a handful of its most fortunate citizens.
We should all see the world from this vantage.
It may, in fact, do us a world of good.
“When we look down on the Earth from space, we see this indescribably beautiful planet,” says astronaut Ron Garan in a short documentary released at the end of last year called Overview. “It looks like a living, breathing organism. But it also at the same time looks extremely fragile.”

A top commander of a Nazi SS-led unit accused of burning villages filled with women and children lied to American immigration officials to get into the United States and has been living in Minnesota since shortly after World War II, according to evidence uncovered by The Associated Press.
Michael Karkoc, 94, told American authorities in 1949 that he had performed no military service during World War II, concealing his work as an officer and founding member of the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion and later as an officer in the SS Galician Division, according to records obtained by the AP through a Freedom of Information Act request. The Galician Division and a Ukrainian nationalist organization he served in were both on a secret American government blacklist of organizations whose members were forbidden from entering the United States at the time.

An Ohio boy admitted he fatally shot his mother in the head with a rifle when he was 10 after what a relative described as an argument over chores.
The boy, now 13, entered the equivalent of a guilty plea Monday in juvenile court.
In January 2011, the boy went to a neighbor’s house, called 911 and told the dispatcher he had shot his mother at their home in rural Holmes County, about 70 miles northeast of Columbus. “I shot my mom. I shot her with a gun,” he said.
At the time, his uncle said the boy and his mother had argued over carrying firewood.
Defense attorney Andy Hyde said the boy lived in an emotionally abusive environment, was provoked by his mother’s screaming and “just snapped.”
The boy “is one of those that I just feel sorry for,” Hyde said. “He had a lot dumped on him at a young age and responded inappropriately, but the spur-of-the-moment decision now will affect the rest of his life.”

A 10-year-old girl whose efforts to qualify for an organ donation spurred public debate over how organs are allocated underwent a successful double-lung transplant on Wednesday, the girl’s family said.
Sarah Murnaghan, who suffers from severe cystic fibrosis, received new lungs from an adult donor at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, spokeswoman Tracy Simon said.
The Murnaghan family said it was “thrilled” to share the news that Sarah was out of surgery.
“Her doctors are very pleased with both her progress during the procedure and her prognosis for recovery,” the family said in a statement.

Imagine being able to control a flying robot with your mind.
Sounds like a flight of fancy, but researchers at the University of Minnesota have fashioned an electrode-studded cap that records brain waves and uses them to control a “quadcopter” via wi-fi. Results of the copter’s test flights were published in the June issue of the Journal of Neural Engineering.
How does it work? “It’s completely noninvasive. Nobody has to have a chip implanted in their brain to pick up the neuronal activity,” biomedical engineering student and one of the paper’s authors, Karl LaFleur, said in a written statement.
Thinking about moving a body part makes cells in an area of the brain called the motor cortex produce tiny electrical currents. The cap sends this information to a computer, which translates it into directions for the copter.
