They find 13 unique people immune to genetic diseases!

An interesting project has been launched since 2014 to search for people immune to genetic diseases.The project is called Resilience and is advanced by a group of scientists from the Icahn Institute of Genetics and Biology, of United States.Are you interested in knowing more? There are 13 UNICAS people immune to genetic diseases! Resilience is the human genome research project more big and ambitious so far, because it focuses on the genes that carry mutations that, however, do not produce hereditary or Mendelian diseases to those who have them. The thing is not simple: they are called pathologies Mendelian because they are transmitted to the downline according to the Mendel laws , and are caused by a mutation in a single gene.These mutations are variants in the genes, and can alter the function of the protein encoded in the gene, which can mean several things: or the protein is not produces, or does very little, or is unstable, or does not work properly, or increases its ...

How would the voice of a monkey sound? Science responds and is quite disturbing!

Have you ever wondered how a monkey's voice would sound if it could speak? Perhaps the first sound that would come to mind after this question, if you have been a regular at science fiction movies or movies with Charlton Heston, would be the voice of Roddy McDowall, who in the first movie of the series Planet of the Apes (1968), embodied a chimpance called Cornelius. Or maybe, if you are younger, the voice of Cesar comes to mind.>, played by Andy Serkis in the new versions of this saga of intelligent primates, but neither of them would coincide with the voice of a monkey, the real one if he could speak, as a recent scientific study has proven. How would the voice of a monkey sound? Science responds and is quite disturbing! A study by researchers at Princeton University (United States) and the University of Vienna (Austria), published in the journal Science Advances , has left behind that explanation that claimed that the apes could not speak because did not have the ...

5 FASCINATING places you should visit with Google Earth

There is no doubt that technology has changed the way we see the world, and Google Earth is a perfect example of this.This wonderful tool can be downloaded for free and allows you to see the world like never before, zooming in on the world at will.

So here we want to propose 5 interesting places to visit with Google Earth. 5 FASCINATING places you must visit with Google Earth 1.Krakatoa On 27 August 1883, after several weeks of noise and threats (accompanied by minor eruptions), Krakatoa Island literally exploded in a series of four volcanic eruptions.The explosions were so powerful that they they heard clearly about 3,000 miles away, global weather patterns were interrupted in the next few years, and the shockwave went around the world seven times! Since then, the Island has grown again and is now known as Anak Krakatau (Son of Krakatoa)...

Can children grow their fingertips again?

Let's be clear about something: the regeneration of the lost fingers sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but it may be a perfectly real possibility, especially since it was recently discovered that maybe the children can regenerate the tissue of the fingertips.How? We'll tell you! Regenerate the fingertips: is it possible for children? Commonly, there are severe enough fingertip injuries to cause it to completely detach itself from the other fingers.That usually means that it has been lost forever. But a new finding seems to indicate the opposite: in children, the fingertip can grow back.Not always, but it happens, or so Dr.Christopher Allan tells us. The doctor says that a 7-year-old girl lost the tip of her finger playing with his brother's bike and arrived at the emergency room, where Dr.Christopher Allan and his fellow surgeons at UW Medicine had to make a decision: Should they try microsurgical reintegration? Suture the wound to minimize ...

What happens inside a black hole? The distressing possibilities

SPOILER ALERT! In a recent movie- Interstellar , 2014– an astronaut played by Matthew McConaughey and a rectangular robot fall into a black hole and survive to tell it.This movie featured a fancy scientific advice, such as the physical Kip Thorne , involved in the discovery of gravitational waves caused by the interaction of two black holes, but that did not prevent them from being too benign and fanciful when describing what could happen to you within a black hole. What happens inside a Black Hole? The distressing possibilities Black holes are points in the universe where the force of gravity is so intense that not even light can escape them.They can be the result of the collapse of red stars or the way in which Some galaxies are structured.This phenomenon was one of the predictions of the theory of relativity in the early twentieth century, with key contributions in the sixties and seventies, by physicists such as Stephen Hawking, and with a discovery in the new millenni...

A spooky and dangerous drug, MDPV or "cannibal drug"

It is a drug of more or less recent use, whose effects on the organism are really dramatic. A spooky and dangerous drug, the MDPV The MDPV was developed in 1969, but was relegated from the trade until 2004, when it was synthesized again in laboratories as a very cheap recreational substance. It is also known by other very suggestive names: white lightning, purple, red dove, pure ivory, ivory wave, vanilla sky, blessing, moon wave, and in English cloud nine, ivory wave, magic, black rob, super coke, PV or peeve; In recent times it has been associated with two names in particular: “bath salts” –because they sell it online as if it were really bath salts– and “cannibal drug” , because there was a very popular case in Florida, United States, in which a man bit 80% of the face of a homeless person supposedly under the effec...
