Un fungo microscopico nasconde da mezzo secolo la verticillina, una molecola che potrebbe uccidere tumori cerebrali pediatrici. MIT e Harvard sono riusciti a ricrearla in laboratorio dopo 55 anni di tentativi falliti. Il problema non era capire la struttura: era copiarla senza farla crollare. Ora possono testarla contro il glioma diffuso e progettare varianti su misura per salvare, un giorno, i bambini colpiti.

Russia offered to 'swap' Venezuela for Ukraine in 2019, Trump adviser testimony claims

Zelensky suggested the U.S. could pressure Putin by targeting figures like Chechen dictator Kadyrov, comparing it to how quickly they acted against Maduro.
“The U.S. has tools and knows how to use pressure when it wants to. Everyone saw how fast they acted with Maduro. Imagine they did the same with Kadyrov, maybe Putin would start thinking,” he said.
The Russian Foreign Ministry commented on the boarding of the Russian tanker by US Forces and described it as "abnormal".
Russia experienced a lot of "abnormal" situations the last 4 years, and almost all were not for the better in Russia.
#Russia media moan that #Ukraine drones practically imposed a no-fly zone over key #Moscow airports for the last few days, just as the New Year to Orthodox Christmas drinking period started.
I believe this is actually very beneficial for Russians, who all the time boast about being so much focused on family values and traditional values, as opposed to the decaying gay Europe. You should spend Christmas at home, enjoying your family values rather than flying here and there, especially to the Islamic countries like UAE or Turkey.
It also creates an excellent opportunity for making children to compensate for the demographic loss caused by the invasion on #Ukraine - which, by the way, can’t fly anywhere since 2022 due to your invasion 🤷
