57,000 cells, almost 150 million synapses and 230 millimeters of blood vessels. All of this fits in just one cubic millimeter of human brainwhich is equivalent to 1,400 terabytes of data and represents an unprecedented view of the structural organization of brain tissue. Harvard University (USA) and Google Research collaborated for almost a decade to […]

They create a new version of CAR-T therapy that can be used in solid tumors
CAR-T cell therapy is increasingly used against blood cancers and a team has now tested, with mice, an adaptation to also treat tumors solids, an advance that could transform the treatment of that disease. Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York lead a study published in Science Advances that describes this […]
Dinosaurs were not as smart as we thought
The dinosaurscontrary to what some recent research had suggested, were not as smart as believed, and although their intelligence It could be comparable to that of large reptiles, in no case can it be compared to that of apes. This has now been pointed out by an international team of researchers, thus contradicting a previous […]
British researchers reconstruct the face of a Neanderthal woman
A team of archaeologists The British unveiled on Thursday the reconstructed face of a 75,000-year-old Neanderthal woman, work that questions what we knew about this species, often considered crude and very underdeveloped. A documentary broadcast since Thursday on the Netflix platform and produced by the BBC narrates his journey, from the discovery of a skull […]
England: study will seek answers about ligament rupture in women’s soccer
Because the players of soccer suffer more anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures than their male counterparts? A study that seeks to answer this question began in England on Tuesday. Co-funded by the players’ unions PFA and FIFPRO, Nike and Leeds Beckett University, this research will observe the WSL (Women’s Super League), the English women’s professional […]
Melanoma ‘breaks’ genes to resist the action of drugs, according to the Genomics Center
A study by the Center for Genomic Regulation of Barcelona reveals the mechanism that explains how melanoma, which causes the majority of deaths from skin cancer, resists drug treatment and finds other ways to reactivate, such as ‘break’ parts of your BRAF gene. This gene normally produces a protein that helps control cell growth but […]
Science recommends how to reduce anger after an insult or provocation
Being insulted or provoked can cause gonna in many people, but it is enough to write down the reaction to a negative incident on a piece of paper and then shred it or throw it in the trash to reduce that feeling. That is the ‘recipe’ by a team of researchers from Nagoya University (Japan) […]
Cataloging bacteria in metastasis will help refine treatments
A group of researchers has cataloged for the first time the bacteria existing in the metastases of up to 26 common types of cancer, through the analysis of 4,000 tissues, which could help better guide treatments, according to the finding reported this Tuesday in the scientific journal Cell. There are bacteria, as well as viruses […]
Scientists connect the childhood microbiome with the development of autism and ADHD
Certain changes in the childhood gut microbiome may correlate with future diagnoses of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder)according to a report released this Thursday by the University of Florida (UF). The study, the first of its kind, shows that changes in the childhood microbiome (microbes that colonize the intestinal […]
An implant and app to help control bladder function
Some diseases cause you to lose control of bladder filling, a problem that a team of scientists and has developed a device that allows, with an implant and an application, to monitor the function of that organ for a prolonged period. The implant, which has been tested on animals, is soft, flexible and battery-free; It […]
