Scientists from the Oregon State University (OSU) School of Pharmacy in the United States have demonstrated the possibility of using lipid nanoparticles and messenger RNA in animals, the technology on which COVID-19 vaccines are basedto treat blindness associated with a rare genetic disease. The researchers developed nanoparticles capable of penetrating the neural retina and administer mRNA to the photoreceptor cells whose proper functioning makes vision possible, as published in the journal 'Science Advances'. The study, led by OSU Associate Professor of Pharmaceutical Sciences Gaurav Sahay, Oregon State doctoral student Marco Herrera-Barrera, and Oregon Health & Science University Assistant Professor of…

A study of 'Nature' presents a portrait of an extinct species that arose during prehistory Almost 40 million years ago, in the Baltic forests of northern Europe, a tiny flower just 28mm it fell off its plant and fell on a drop of resin. The flower was thus trapped in a viscous substance that, over time, solidified, turned to amber and it corresponds to him as a shield for posterity. Now, the discovery of this fossil has made it possible to reconstruct the history of the oldest flower in the world (and of a species that, by the way, now…

Comet C/2022 E3 (ZTF), discovered in March of last yearit will be able to be seen by amateur astronomers in the sky in late January, possibly even a naked eye. It was discovered by astronomers using the Zwicky Transient Facility's Wide Field Survey Camera. Since then, the new long-period comet -- it completes its orbit around the Sun in about 50,000 years -- has considerably suspected its brightness and is now sweeping across the northern constellation Corona Borealis in the predawn skies, NASA reports.

post a paper It was always like throwing a drop of water into an ocean which, in Spain alone, more than 100,000 new scientific articles. Waiting for this work to have significance, letting other researchers know about it and establishing new collaborative projects with other universities and disciplines to innovate, it was, and is, a rudimentary task that limits its effectiveness. "Until now. New technologies already allow 'mapping' the state of research in an institution, a country or even the whole world to find out what is being researched more, what less and who is doing it", he explained to…
