KARAWANG, Indonesia — Indonesian mother-of-three Aslem was a domestic worker in Dubai when she started wiring cash to a self-professed shaman, believing that he would honor his promise to magically multiply her hard-earned wages. But she returned home in 2022 penniless and in shock, saying she had been swindled out of her life savings by a trickster who now faces trial for his complex scams, and charges of murdering nine of his victims. 'I have nothing now,' Aslem, 42, told AFP from her cramped, dilapidated house in a remote village in Karawang, West Java.

Researchers in the Plant Sciences Department at the Weizmann Institute of Science have discovered that in drought conditions, cypresses get help from soil-beneficial bacteria in a kind of cooperation that enables them to survive and even flourish. "Our study might have supplied the best evidence so far that trees and bacteria can really coexist symbiotically," says Dr. Tamir Klein , head of the research team.

INDIANAPOLIS—Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine have discovered a neglected brain region that could play a critical role in how likely a person with drug use disorders is to relapse, even after a long withdrawal period. Their findings were published recently in Biological Psychiatry . "Past studies in the field of addiction research have focused on the medial prefrontal cortex, which is the part of the brain that controls decision making, but no effective prevention or treatment for drug relapse is available," said Yao-Ying Ma, MD, PhD , associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology and an investigator with the Stark Neurosciences Research Institute at IU School of Medicine .
