A possible “molecular breakthrough” is happening in the Las Vegas valley. A group of UNLV students and neuroscientists has found a way to take something as common as caraway, also known as meridian fennel, and transform it into a new class of CBD-like compounds that could potentially help children who suffer from severe seizure disorders.

Yaa’kub Ira Vijandre was a fixture at Dallas-area pro-Palestine protests, filming with his camera. Now he faces deportation over social media posts the government claims glorifies terrorism.

Even from its earliest days, Las Vegas has aggressively marketed itself. The need to create and propel its own narratives, spur curiosity and try to overcome business lulls has resulted in many campaigns of varying reach and success.

Cold and flu season is back in the U.S. and doctors are warning Americans to avoid making a common health mistake if they get sick — maintaining their workout routines.

Here’s a simple way to switch up your walking routine, according to experts: try going backward. Taking a brisk walk is an exercise rich in simplicity, and it can have impressive mental and physical benefits: stronger bones and muscles, cardiovascular fitness and stress relief, to name a few. But like any workout, hoofing it for your health may feel repetitive and even boring after a while.

Researchers found that daily freeze-dried strawberry intake enhanced antioxidant biomarkers, lowered inflammation, and improved fasting glucose, suggesting a delicious way to support metabolic health and prevent diabetes progression.

Higher education isn’t known for speed, but Chris Heavey wants to change that. As Interim President of UNLV, he’s leading a university that’s learning to move faster, think bigger, and grow alongside the community it serves. In this episode of Home Means, Heather Brown talks with Heavey about what it means to lead during transformation — from building new programs in medicine, engineering, and cybersecurity, to reshaping education around real-world skills. He shares how UNLV is breaking the “slow university” stereotype by staying experimental, entrepreneurial, and deeply connected to Nevada’s needs. Heavey also calls out one uncomfortable truth: family income still predicts college success more than test scores. His answer? Give every student the chance to succeed through practical experience, internships, and meaningful learning that prepares them for what’s next.

Researchers have developed a new class of CBD-like compounds that they say are even more effective at treating epilepsy and also promote brain cell development. But rather than extracting them from the cannabis plant, the scientists conducting the federally funded study used a common household kitchen spice: caraway seeds.

Mosquito complaints are buzzing louder across Clark County. They aren’t just a nuisance; they can carry and spread viruses. County leaders are considering a mosquito abatement district to help control the growing threat before it gets worse.
