The fuel shortage in Gaza has reached critical levels.

Fuel is the backbone of survival in Gaza – it powers hospitals, water systems, sanitation networks, ambulances, and all aspects of humanitarian operations. Without fuel, these lifelines will vanish for 2.1 million people.

The UN and humanitarian partners have released an urgent appeal for fuel to be consistently allowed into Gaza in sufficient quantities to sustain life-saving operations.

The United Nations warns that the fuel shortage in Gaza has reached critical levels. Without adequate fuel, Gaza faces a collapse of humanitarian efforts. The United Nations agencies and humanitarian partners cannot overstate the urgency of this moment: fuel must be allowed into Gaza in sufficient q...

तुम्हाला माहिती आहे का की डॉल्फिन प्रमाणात उत्तेजना मिळवू शकतात ? ते पफरफिशच्या सौम्य न्यूरोटॉक्सिनचा आनंद घेण्यासाठी त्यांच्याभोवती फिरतात.

हो, खरंच.

प्राण्यांच्या वर्तनाचे एक उल्लेखनीय उदाहरण म्हणजे, डॉल्फिन हे मनोरंजक औषधांच्या वापरात गुंतलेले आढळले आहेत - जाणूनबुजून पफरफिशला त्यांचे न्यूरोटॉक्सिक संरक्षण सोडण्यास उद्युक्त करतात. टेट्रोडोटॉक्सिन म्हणून ओळखले जाणारे विष मोठ्या प्रमाणात प्राणघातक असते परंतु कमी प्रमाणात ट्रान्ससारखे परिणाम निर्माण करू शकते. फुटेज आणि फील्ड रिपोर्ट्समध्ये डॉल्फिन पफरफिश काळजीपूर्वक हाताळताना दिसतात, त्यांना विषाचे छोटे स्फोट फुगवण्यास आणि सोडण्यास प्रवृत्त करतात, नंतर हळूहळू, जाणूनबुजून माशांना फिरवतात.

डॉल्फिनच्या गटासारखे दिसणारे हे वर्तन प्रथम बीबीसीच्या माहितीपटात अधोरेखित करण्यात आले आणि नंतर सिटेशियन ज्ञानाचा अभ्यास करणाऱ्या सागरी जीवशास्त्रज्ञांनी त्याचे समर्थन केले. तज्ञांचा असा विश्वास आहे की डॉल्फिनने माशांना किंवा स्वतःला इजा न करता न्यूरोटॉक्सिनच्या प्रभावांचा फायदा घेण्यास शिकले असावे. या घटनेमुळे डॉल्फिनमध्ये प्रगत बुद्धिमत्ता, सामाजिक शिक्षण आणि प्रायोगिक सीमा असलेल्या खेळण्याची क्षमता असल्याचे वाढत्या पुराव्यांमध्ये भर पडते. हे प्राण्यांच्या जगात चेतना आणि मादक पदार्थांच्या वापराबद्दल देखील मनोरंजक प्रश्न उपस्थित करते.

A groundbreaking treatment using the herpes virus may soon be cleared to fight one of the deadliest skin cancers.

A genetically engineered herpes virus called RP1 could soon be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to treat advanced melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer.

In a clinical trial involving 140 patients whose cancers were unresponsive to standard therapies, RP1—used in combination with the immunotherapy drug nivolumab—shrank tumors in 30% of participants.

Remarkably, in half of those cases, all detectable tumors disappeared. Unlike its predecessor, T-VEC, which is only approved for superficial skin tumors, RP1 can be injected into deeper tumors and is designed to fuse cancer cells together, boosting immune attack on the disease throughout the body.

This potential approval would mark only the second time a virus-based cancer therapy gains regulatory approval in the U.S. and Europe. It represents a leap forward in the century-old idea of using viruses to treat cancer—an approach historically fraught with safety concerns. By targeting tumors directly and stimulating the immune system to fight cancer cells more broadly, RP1 exemplifies a new wave of cancer therapies that could revolutionize treatment for patients with few other options. With a decision from the FDA expected by the end of July, scientists and patients alike are eagerly watching what could be a turning point in cancer care.

Scientists Have Created a Method to Regrow Teeth:

Recent research suggests that a small dose of light may be enough to stimulate new tooth growth.

A team led by Dr. Arany shone low-power laser light on the tooth pulps of rats, which resulted in the formation of tertiary dentin, a bone-like substance. This finding points to the potential for tooth regeneration.

To better understand how light induces this growth, the researchers examined the biological mechanism and discovered that low-power laser light activates transforming growth factor–β (TGF-β). This activation triggers the production of reactive oxygen species, which in turn causes dental stem cells to differentiate into odontoblasts, the cells responsible for forming dentin.

The mechanism was further validated when mice lacking TGF-β or treated with a TGF-β inhibitor did not respond to the laser treatment, confirming its key role in the process.

Since lasers are already used in dentistry for other treatments, this discovery could pave the way for light-based therapies aimed at regenerating teeth in humans, potentially offering a new approach to dental care in the future.
