As reported in the journal Cell Metabolism, the protein circulating in mice (an enzyme called eNAMPT) plays a key role in the process that provides cells with energy. Over the years, the latter become less and less efficient in producing this "fuel" (called NAD) necessary for your health.
After the results of the 2016 animal tests, the results on humans also arrive from the revolutionary translational science applied to the study of Urolithin A (a metabolite obtained from pomegranate) on cellular and mitochondrial health: they were published in Nature Metabolism
The Internet is becoming a patchwork of different webs for each nation. It is a reality, and it will characterize the coming years, whether we like it or not. A very sad circumstance to suffer limits in the only place in the world that virtually had none.
No injections, no radiation, 30 minutes and at age 55 you know whether you can stay calm forever or prepare to fight. It will save millions of lives.
These are weapons that will determine Russia's military potential for decades to come
A research team manages to grow extremely premature fetuses out of a womb.
A promotional video from 1987 shows in a rather bizarre way a world of 1997 that was totally "Applecentric" and full of innovations that we are still partly waiting for today.
Studies to produce a vaccine against HIV continue, and could soon lead to truly, truly decisive turning points.
At first glance it may seem like a nice colorful toy, but in reality it is a refined device designed to produce electricity. It is a device developed by researchers at Columbia University, who used very special materials to create an instrument that exploits the humidity present in the air to generate 'clean' electrical energy. The device was made with colored Lego bricks, a sheet of rubber coated with spores, a coil and … Read more
It's not the first and it won't be the last. Scientists from the University of Groningen (Holland) and the Empa research center (Switzerland) have created a nanometric transport system equipped with four motor units (translation: a “namomachine”). It's electric, four nanometers long and every half turn of the wheels has to fill up... It works thanks to a scanning tunneling microscope positioned above it, which transmits a tiny electric charge that causes reversible structural changes in the wheels (translation: … Read more
As we all know, there is a phase in the development of this pathology that makes its course deadly: when tumor cells multiply and spread to other organs, creating metastases, it is almost impossible to face and win the battle for the survival of a patient. Waisman's recent studies have identified in this process the direct responsibilities of a protein, S100A10, present on the surface of macrophages, the cells responsible for the body's immune defense. The action of… Read more
Our planet needs a small overhaul: with an economy increasingly in crisis and an epochal transition from an energy system based on fossil fuels to another (hopefully ever closer) that focuses entirely on renewables, our presence activity is increasingly important to guarantee new generations greater freedom, greater variety of species and less pollution. We can do a lot: an important principle that will be able to keep our ecosystem standing is to... Read more
Belgian designer Vincent Callebaut, who has always been committed to finding solutions to the problem of water shortages that will hit the planet with the population explosion that has already begun, has developed several concepts over the years that provide new perspectives. One of these is the 'Physalia Project', a cloud of amphibious gardens capable of simultaneously acting as a traveling exhibition space and cleaning system for Europe's rivers. Let's not hide it: our survival depends on the amount of clean water we drink. Second … Read more
