Statins are a cornerstone of heart health, but muscle pain and weakness cause many patients to quit taking them.

How gene loss and monogamy built termite mega societies
Termites did not evolve complex societies by adding new genetic features. Instead, scientists found that they became more social by shedding genes tied to competition and independence.

Together, these changes helped termites build colonies that can number in the millions.
