WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - In a recent study conducted jointly by researchers in Germany and Brazil, it was discovered that 8 out of 15 adults examined post-mortem had microplastics present in their olfactory bulbs, which are the brain's region responsible for smell. This revelation, published in JAMA Network Open, points to the likelihood that these particles were inhaled over many years, given that microplastics are widely dispersed in the air. Thais Mauad, the lead author and an [...]

Das fanden die Forscher heraus SARS-CoV-2 Schweres akutes respiratorisches Syndrom Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ist der offizielle Name des Virusstamms, der die Coronavirus-Krankheit (COVID-19) verursacht. Bevor dieser Name angenommen wurde, war es allgemein als das neuartige Coronavirus 2019 (2019-nCoV), Wuhan-Coronavirus oder Wuhan-Virus bekannt. ” attributes-data-gt-translate=”[{“attribute”:”data-cmtooltip”, [...]

To evade the human host’s immune response, Sars-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes Covid-19, uses the machinery of defense cells to induce the expression of unproductive isoforms of key antiviral genes – variant forms of genes that result from disrupted splicing or transcription processes and do not code for functional (protective) proteins. This is a key finding of a study conducted by researchers at the Albert Einstein Jewish Brazilian Hospital (HIAE), the University of [...]

WASHINGTON (dpa-AFX) - A recent study led by MIT and published in the journal Nature has revealed that fasting followed by refeeding, known as intermittent fasting, can enhance cell regeneration in the intestines, but could also raise the risk of developing intestinal tumors. Researchers examined the gut stem cells of three groups of mice: a control group that ate normally, a group that fasted for 24 hours, and a group that fasted for 24 hours followed by unlimited feeding for another 24 [...]

A study conducted in São Paulo state (Brazil) showed that farms with peer-to-peer certification had 58.8 organic items on average, while farms conventionally certified by third parties had 22.2.

Paris (AFP) – Wildfires made more frequent and intense by climate change released significant quantities of CO2 into the air in 2023-2024, said a first-of-its-kind annual study published Wednesday. Fires in natural areas caused 8.6 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions worldwide between March 2023 and February 2024 -- 16 percent above average. Only a relatively calm fires season in the African savannah prevented the 2023-2024 season from breaking a fresh record for CO2 emissions at the [...]
