El impacto del cambio climático sobre la transmisión de la malaria

Crédito: PixabaySegún un reciente estudio, un novedoso modelo para predecir la influencia del cambio climático en la transmisión de la malaria en África podría allanar el camino para intervenciones más precisas destinadas a controlar la enfermedad.Las técnicas anteriores se basaban en mediciones de las precipitaciones para inferir la presencia de aguas superficiales propicias para...

La IA cuestiona la suposición de la unicidad universal de las huellas dactilares

La investigación indica una nueva perspectiva de las huellas dactilares intrapersonales. Crédito: Unsplash.Durante mucho tiempo, el análisis de las huellas dactilares, piedra angular en contextos forenses y de seguridad, se ha basado en la percepción de la unicidad y permanencia de los patrones dactilares. Pero una investigación pionera de la Universidad de Columbia introduce...

Descifrar la Degradación Ósea Del Oído Interno

Los investigadores demuestran que el posible origen de la degradación ósea localizada en los colesteatomas tiene que ver con los fibroblastos derivados del hueso que producen una proteína denominada activina A.Una inflamación prolongada del oído medio puede provocar diversas complicaciones que repercuten tanto en la audición como en el equilibrio de las personas. Entre...

Future Mars Housing May Be Built With Astronaut Blood and Urine

Credit: Evgeniyqw/Adobe StockA brand-new type of inexpensive real estate has been suggested for future Mars colonists. All the astronauts require to do is pay in blood.Scientists from the College of Manchester proposed-- we guarantee this is not the story of a 90s straight-to-VHS sci-fi horror movie-- as a means to considerably decrease the price...

The Evolution of Proteins: A Journey Through 3.8 Billion Years

Research by Gustavo Caetano-Anollés and Fayez Aziz, University of Illinois, reveals a “big bang” during evolution of protein subunits known as domains. The team looked for protein relationships and domain recruitment into proteins over 3.8 billion years across all taxonomic units. Their results could have implications for vaccine development and disease management. Credit: Fred...
