Researchers have developed a method by which PET bottles can be transformed into edible proteins and fats using genetically modified yeasts, providing a potential solution for astronaut food on long missions and contributing to the reduction of plastic waste. (translated)
Researchers have revealed that human brain organoids, cultivated in the laboratory for seven years, continued to mature and "feel" the passage of time, suggesting that these tiny structures may provide valuable insights into brain development and neurological disorders, despite not possessing human consciousness or memories. (translated)
Researchers have discovered a rare variant of the FNIP1 gene that offers protection against obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases by reducing body fat accumulation and improving energy metabolism, which could open new directions in treatments for these conditions. (translated)
A rare discovery in southern France has revealed nearly 400 fossils dating back 470 million years, some preserving soft tissues, which provide researchers with detailed insights into a diverse marine ecosystem, including trilobites, sponges, and other ancient organisms, located near the South Pole during the Ordovician period. (translated)
Researchers have identified a new meteorological phenomenon called "snow eater," which is associated with climate change and accelerates the melting of snow in mountainous regions, having a significant impact on water reserves and causing floods and droughts due to the rapid melting of snow. (translated)
A new antimalarial compound, cabamiquine, developed by researchers at the University of Dundee, promises to simplify the treatment and prevention of malaria, with increased effectiveness through its administration in a single dose, which could save millions of lives globally. (translated)
A pandemic has affected the starfish in the Pacific, leading to the disappearance of billions of specimens due to a disease caused by bacteria, and researchers are collaborating with the indigenous Samish community to save the species by breeding and releasing lab-raised specimens into the wild, considering that their disappearance threatens the entire marine ecosystem. (translated)
Researchers have discovered that the rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have caused measurable changes in the composition of human blood, including an increase in serum bicarbonate and a decrease in calcium and phosphorus, which raises concerns about the long-term effects on health, particularly in developing children and adolescents. (translated)
British researchers have identified a food preservative associated with an alarming increase in suicides among young people and men, emphasizing the need to review access to this substance to prevent such tragedies. (translated)
Researchers warn that vanillin, a compound used in e-cigarettes, can negatively affect embryonic development, calling for clear information on product packaging and recommending that pregnant women be aware of the risks. (translated)
Researchers warn that the growing trade in mummified human remains, including hands and heads, represents a real "curse" as it exposes collectors to serious health risks due to latent microorganisms and toxic substances used in the preservation process. (translated)
Researchers at Stanford University have for the first time used artificial intelligence to design and create unknown synthetic viruses, marking a significant milestone in synthetic biology, with the potential to accelerate the development of treatments against antibiotic-resistant bacteria, while also raising biosafety and biosecurity concerns. (translated)
Chinese researchers have confirmed the existence of the "glueball" particle, a new form of matter, by identifying its characteristics in the BESIII experiment, providing essential evidence for the standard model of particle physics. (translated)
Swiss researchers suggest that mining metal-rich asteroids could provide the materials necessary for colonizing Mars, while also highlighting the logistical challenges and the importance of the correct asteroid selection to make these missions feasible. (translated)
