Euler’s Number Is Seriously Everywhere.  Here’s What Makes It So Special

Euler’s Number Is All Around Us, And It’s Honestly Cool as Hell The mathematical constant e is one of the most important numbers in all of mathematics. But what does it represent? And what makes it so transcendental? Read More

#NGM - Aging

Seconds after his birth, Tommaso Citti has his vital signs checked at Beauregard Hospital in Aosta, Italy. Children born today in prosperous countries are very likely to live into their 90s. As the world grows significantly older, research into slowing or reversing aging becomes more and more important.

When our heart rate is slower, we tend to overestimate the duration of events, reports Ellen Barry for The New York Times. Our hearts can influence our perception in other ways too. In 2020, Jordana Cepelewicz wrote for Quanta about how the rhythmic phases of our heartbeat sharply change how the brain processes pain and responds to fearful stimuli. Careful With Those Plates Researchers believe that when Theia, a Mars-sized planet, collided with the young Earth, the impact kick-started subduction, a hallmark of plate tectonics, writes Nikk Ogasa for Science News. On Earth, plate tectonics was an essential condition for the emergence of life, as Rebecca Boyle reported for Quanta in 2018. The new insight that moon-forming cataclysms can also cause subduction therefore gives astronomers a guidepost for finding other planets with plate tectonics: their moons.

Pandemia de covid-19 mais perto do fim?

Há três anos, no dia 11 de março, o biólogo Tedros
Adhanom, diretor-geral da Organização Mundial da Saúde
(OMS), anunciou que o mundo enfrentava a primeira
pandemia causada por um coronavírus. Desde então,
foram notificados no mundo 676.609.955 casos e
6.881.955 mortes até a manhã do dia 17 de março (https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html). Nesse período,
o avanço da vacinação levou a uma redução muito
importante do número de novos casos e mortes.

'Breast Milk Is Healthy'

De Villiers and zur Hausen outlined more evidence of cancer-triggering pathogens. Mothers who have breastfed are less likely, especially after multiple pregnancies, to develop tumors in various organs or to have from MS and type 2 diabetes. The authors attribute the protective effect to oligosaccharides in breast milk, which begin to be formed midway through the pregnancy. They bind to lectin receptors and, in so doing, mask the terminal

The oligosaccharides also protect the baby against life-threatening infections by blocking access by rotaviruses and noroviruses. In this way, especially if breastfeeding lasts a long time — around 1 year — the period of incomplete immunocompetence is bridged.

Colon Cancer

To date, it has been assumed that around 20% of all cancerous diseases globally are caused by infections, said the researchers. But if the suspected BMMF cases are included, this figure rises to 50%, even to around 80%, for colon cancer. If the suspicion is confirmed, the consequences for prevention and therapy would be significant.

The voice of a Nobel prize winner undoubtedly carries weight, but at the time, zur Hausen still had to convince a host of skeptics with his discovery that a viral infection is a major cause of cervical cancer. Nonetheless, some indicators suggest that he and his wife have found a dead end this time./.../
