Tetrodotoxin is the deadliest neurotoxin known to humans. It is naturally produced in the body of aquatic animals like puffer fish, globe fish, newts, and frogs. However, now scientists at NYU have developed a method using which TTX can be produced in a lab, this will increase our understanding of t...

It's been a long while since I've shared anything here...
Here is a study on the accumulation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) molecules in the gut, in response to prolonged sleep deprivation - this leads to formation of a lot of destructive processes, ending in accelerated aging hence premature death.

New research establishes an unexpected connection.

This study estimates a high effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine for preventing symptomatic Covid-19 in a noncontrolled setting, similar to the vaccine efficacy reported in the randomized trial.

This study also suggests that effectiveness is high for the more serious outcomes: hospitalization, severe illness, and death.

Furthermore, the estimated benefit increases in magnitude as time passes.

These results strengthen the expectation that newly approved vaccines can help to mitigate the profound global effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
