Maintaining muscle mass has proven to be crucial for patients undergoing cancer treatment. Studies have shown that individuals with more muscle tend to respond better to therapies such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy. They also have a lower risk of complications and experience more effective recovery. This is because muscle plays an essential role in metabolism, helping to regulate the inflammatory response and drug absorption. Conversely, cancer patients with low muscle mass have a higher [...]

Massive Megatherium sloths once stood as large as Asian elephants, ripping foliage off treetops with prehensile tongues like today's giraffes. “They looked like grizzly bears but five times larger,” says paleontologist Rachel Narducci from the Florida Museum of Natural History. Megatherium were among a dazzling assortment of more than a hundred different sloth species that once roamed the Americas. Their ancient DNA now tells the likely story of why only six sloth species [...]

Long buried beneath sugarcane residue, a microbial secret may hold the key to revolutionising clean energy. In a groundbreaking study published in Nature, researchers at Brazil’s Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) have identified a natural enzyme — CelOCE — that could redefine how the world produces second-generation biofuels. The discovery came from soil samples hidden beneath sugarcane bagasse, the fibrous byproduct left after juice extraction. Here, scientists found [...]

Breaking down plant material into usable fuel has long been one of science’s biggest energy challenges. At the heart of this process is cellulose, the most abundant renewable polymer on Earth. While it’s made entirely of glucose, its tightly packed crystalline structure, along with its entanglement with other plant components like lignin and hemicellulose, makes it incredibly tough to break down. Nature does it slowly and only with the help of complex enzyme systems. Now, [...]

At least three massive asteroids, each large enough to destroy a city, could strike Earth in the coming weeks, claimed a new scientific study. According to The New York Post, the space rocks, named 2020 SB, 524522, and 2020 CL1, currently share Venus's orbit around the Sun. An international research team, led by Valerio Carruba from São Paulo State University in Brazil, published their findings in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. As of their latest calculations, they [...]

The asteroids pose no immediate threat to Venus, even a slight gravitational disturbance could deflect them onto a path toward Earth. At least three massive asteroids, powerful enough to obliterate an entire city, may be on a collision course with Earth in the coming weeks, as per a new study published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. The asteroids- dubbed 2020 SB, 524522, and 2002 CL1- are currently locked in an orbit with Venus and remain hidden in the Sun’s glare, [...]

Three "invisible" city killer asteroids hidden in the glare of the Sun, orbiting near Venus could strike Earth within weeks, according to an alarming research published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. The study warns of the danger posed by three large asteroids—2020 SB, 524522, and 2002 CL1—which currently share an orbit with Venus and are hidden in the Sun’s glare, making them nearly impossible to detect with Earth-based telescopes. According to the [...]
