​

Good morning, Hamilton County. The artistic landscape of Cincinnati continues to evolve as a powerful new mural commemorating the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges decision takes shape in Over-the-Rhine. Positioned meaningfully across from Jim Obergefell and his late husband's former home, this visual celebration of equality represents how far our community has come, with ArtWorks beginning the painting process next month for a fall unveiling.

While summer heats up, Cincinnati offers students a wealth of budget-friendly adventures from Washington Park movie nights to Fountain Square concerts. Meanwhile, at Cincinnati Children's, scientists have achieved a remarkable breakthrough with the first-ever lung organoid containing its own blood vessels—potentially revolutionizing treatments for damaged organs and rare diseases. This groundbreaking research, published in Cell, showcases how our region continues to lead in medical innovation while building a more vibrant, inclusive community.

🧫 Scientists create first lung organoid with its own blood vessels. Cincinnati Children's researchers achieved a breakthrough by developing human lung tissue that produces organ-specific blood vessels. This advancement, published in Cell, overcomes a major challenge in growing organoids that can potentially repair damaged organs.
