A study published in the journal Stem Cell Reports shows that there are probably differences between males and females in lung repair after a viral infection. The research, led by professors from the University of Pennsylvania Montserrat Anguera and Andrew Vaughan, studies genetic differences in the cells that are responsible for repairing the lungs in […]

Bipedalism is a defining characteristic of human lineage. It has long been believed that our ancestors began to walk on two legs in the more open environments of the African savannah. A recent study centered on chimpanzees, our closest cousins, nevertheless suggests that bipedalism may have first appeared in trees. The Savannah Hypothesis Mandatory terrestrial […]

Just as rovers rely on wheels to navigate lunar or Martian surfaces, some probes also use wheels (in this case, reaction wheels) to orient themselves in space without using thrusters. Engineers and technicians at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory recently installed four of these wheels on Europa Clipper which is being prepared for its journey through […]

The Minister of Public Health, Luis Medina Ruiz, indicated that with the increase in temperatures and rains, mosquitoes appear, such as the Aedes Aegypti, transmitter of the dengue virus. In this sense, he recommends what are the preventive measures to avoid its proliferation. “Today we do not have dengue in Tucumán, but we must prepare […]

In France, an association recently conducted a survey whose conclusion is quite worrying. 78% of bottled water tested during the study contained plastic microparticles. However, the level of microplastics in bottles differs between brands. A test on water marketed in France In 2018, we mentioned a study conducted by the Orb Media collective in the […]

A study takes stock of how the uptake of carbon by phytoplankton should evolve over the century according to different scenarios of global warming. If the conclusions agree on an increase in absorption between now and 2100, they diverge very widely beyond this horizon. The results were published in the journal PNAS on July 11. […]

Arid soils are protected from wind erosion by a “biocrust” whose role is to limit the amount of dust present in the atmosphere. However, this same biocrust faces a major threat: global warming. Over the next fifty years, the amount of dust in the atmosphere is expected to increase far from negligible and the effects […]
