Resolving the mysteries of brain clearance and immune surveillance This review by Kipnis et al. explores recent advances in brain fluid dynamics, emphasizing CSF flow’s role in waste clearance, the glymphatic and meningeal lymphatic systems, and neuroimmune interacti...

How do the metabolic waste products get cleared from our brain? And how does this process intersect with the brain's immune system?

Hablamos mucho de la generación Z en negativo y me parece que es gente que está haciendo cosas fantásticas. Por ejemplo, desplazar al alcohol del centro de su ocio y desplazar al trabajo del centro de sus vidas, dos cosas que quemaron a generaciones anteriores. Sobre todo, lo segundo.

Durante el Gobierno de Rajoy, mientras millones de españoles migraban, estaban en paro, comían de la caridad o se suicidaban tras ser desahuciados, hubo un ministro de Hacienda, un tal Cristóbal Montoro, que aceptaba dinero de gente muy chunga a cambio de aprobarles leyes a su gusto.

Nature’s laboratory - Works in Progress Magazine Millions of years of evolution have given us genomes that are like giant datasets for drug development. Finally, we are learning how to study them.

“With 3 billion base pairs and nearly 8 billion humans alive today, any mutation that is compatible with life and reproduction likely exists in at least one person’s genome somewhere in the world.”

Awesome piece by Veera Rajagopal on how genetics has transformed drug discovery.

Scientists find evidence that an asteroid contains tryptophan | CNN An essential amino acid that is mistakenly believed to cause drowsiness after eating turkey has been found in an asteroid for the first time, giving scientists clues to the origin of life on Earth.

Introgression impacts the evolution of bacteria, but species borders are rarely fuzzy - Nature Communications It is commonly thought that bacterial species borders tend to be fuzzy, due to frequent exchange of DNA. Here, Diop et al. quantify the patterns of gene flow between core genomes across 50 major bacte...

COVID Is Beginning to Surge Globally. Here’s What We Know Limited COVID surveillance data are hampering vaccination and health strategies, researchers say

'COVID-19 surveillance is happening but at a much lower level than before. We don’t have a complete picture of virus circulation of variants that are out there. There’s a collective amnesia right now about COVID-19', says @mvankerkhove.bsky.social who.int www.scientificamerican.com/article/covi...

Language models cannot reliably distinguish belief from knowledge and fact - Nature Machine Intelligence Suzgun et al. find that current large language models cannot reliably distinguish between belief, knowledge and fact, raising concerns for their use in healthcare, law and journalism, where such disti...

TL;DR: Even the most advanced language models crumble on first-person false beliefs, showing sharp accuracy drops and revealing that their “understanding” of others’ minds is still shallow pattern mimicry, not genuine epistemic reasoning.

Dolphins may be getting an Alzheimer's-like disease due to this neurotoxin The neurotoxins, found in algal blooms, primarily affect the body's nervous system.

Researchers have connected neurotoxins from algal blooms to brain changes associated with an Alzheimer’s-like disease in dolphins in Florida. This connection does not bode well for human communities exposed to those same substances.
