They identify a possible origin of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
The amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) It is a degenerative disease for which today the causes are unknown and there is no efficient treatment. Now, Spanish scientists took a new step in their knowledge and identified the accumulation of ‘junk proteins’ as a possible origin of the THE A and cause of aging. The results are […]
The Anthropocene is not a new geological epoch, says leading scientific entity
After decades of debate, the world’s leading geological authority finally decided not to grant the Anthropocene, a stage characterized by the traces of human presence in the planeta special place in the geological history of the Land. Although human activity has had an impact – increases in greenhouse gases, spread of microplastics and other pollutants, […]
Menopause explains why some whales live so long
menopause It is a period that very few mammals have, including some toothed whales in which it may have evolved so that females live longer and help younger generations survive without competing with daughters or granddaughters for reproductive partners. Women and five types of toothed whales, beluga, narwhal, pilot whale, orca and black killer whale, […]
Schizophrenia and aging could have a common biological basis
A team of scientists has discovered that the seniors and people with schizophrenia have a series of changes in the genetic activity of brain tissue “surprisingly” similar, suggesting that their cognitive impairment could have the same biological basis. The details of the study, carried out by researchers from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, […]
They reveal that climate change in the Messinian caused an unprecedented biological crisis
A scientific expedition in the waters of the Mediterranean discovered a climate change extreme in the Messinian age, about 7,000 million years ago, which determined an unprecedented biological crisis, with changes in the salinity, temperature and oxygenation of its waters. The analysis and interpretation of trace fossils found in the surveys of an oceanic research […]

They discover RNA capabilities that allow the evolution of life on a molecular scale
According to the naturalist Charles Darwin, evolution was “descendants with modifications”, that is, genetic information in the form of sequences of DNA which is transmitted from one generation to the next, but with slight variations that allow new traits to be introduced into a population. In the 1960s, some scientists, including Leslie Orgel of the […]
US university uses AI traps against invasive species in Florida
The University of Florida (UF) is using cheating with artificial intelligence (AI) to trap invasive species in the state, in this case two large reptiles that represent a threat to the biodiversity.
