"We are before a milestone we had been waiting for for a decade"explains enthusiastically Tobias Marschall, a researcher at the Heinrich Heine University and one of the scientists who has contributed to the construction of the first 'pangenome' of our species (that is, the map of the genome of "all humanity"). The feat, published this Wednesday in the magazine 'Nature', includes the genome of 47 people of different origins and "even better reflects genomic differences in the population." "We are facing a milestone that we have been waiting for for a decade" tobias marshall The first genome map of "all…

The first results of a clinical trial with 16 volunteers emerged that a experimental messenger RNA vaccine and personalized induce substantial immune response and potentially delay relapse of patients in a form of pancreatic cancerpancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. It does this when used with other treatments, such as chemotherapy, surgery, and a type of immunotherapy. The results of the phase 1 clinical trial are published in the journal Nature, in an article led by researchers from the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (United States). The study shows that personalized messenger RNA vaccines "promising results" in pancreatic cancer, says Nature. Pancreatic ductal…

A new study led by the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) and the University of Leipzig (Germany) has revealed a new methodology to observe the molecular details of the enzymes that degrade single-use plastic. The results of the work, published in the journal 'ACS Catalysis', have biotechnological applications and "could contribute to improve the recycling of plastics and reduce the effects of pollution", explained the Institut de Ciències del Mar in a statement on Wednesday. Its about PET (polyethylene terephthalate), whose "rigidity, transparency and hardness make it simpler in one of the most valuable plastics"for the manufacture of bottles,…

Stephen Hawking's legacy goes beyond the fundamental theorem What did they think in 1971 about the mechanics of black holes, a phenomenon that could not be verified visually until 50 years later. In addition to confirming that there was a big bang At the beginning of it all, the British theoretical physicist is the author of the new spacetime theory and much of the discoveries of modern astrophysics. He also uncovered unresolved paradoxes and I raise Short answers Poor me big questions of the humanity: predicted the possible and dramatic effects that artificial intelligence could have on everyday life and,…
