A scientific team from the University of Science and Technology of China has revealed the resistance mechanism of mussel shells. During the ten-year research, it was discovered that mussels have a fan-shaped mineralized membrane composed of fragments of calcium carbonate that, despite their brittleness, resist deformation and continue to function stably. The hinge that joins [...]
A research group from the United States has made an exciting discovery in the fight against drug-resistant bacteria. Using artificial intelligence (AI), they found a new type of antibiotic capable of fighting a dangerous superbug. This finding could have a significant impact on the development of personalized antibiotics to treat other resistant pathogens. The study, published [...]
An international research group has identified Norn cells as the main producer of erythropoietin (EPO) in the human body, a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells. EPO is used to correct anemia in cases of chronic kidney failure, and this discovery, published in the journal Nature, may have significant implications for the [...]
