Toxoplasmosis: More Than a Feline Risk. This intracellular parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, is primarily transmitted through oocysts in cat f***s and raw meat. Although most human infections are asymptomatic, pregnant individuals and immunocompromised patients can develop serious complications. Prevention is based on food hygiene, proper cat management, and safe food cooking practices. Understanding its life cycle helps us reduce its impact on public health.

Free-living nematodes represent one of the most successful animal groups globally. They play a vital role in global ecology through nutrient cycling and the maintenance of microbial equilibrium; furthermore, they have been instrumental in research as model organisms. Explore how these microscopic worms have conquered both the Earth and our scientific perspective.

What is the origin of the cells capable of differentiating into nearly any tissue in the human body? Pluripotent stem cells represent a cornerstone for understanding embryonic development, disease modeling, and the exploration of regenerative medicine. Nevertheless, their origin, potential, and ethical constraints continue to be focal points in contemporary biomedical research. This post examines their nature, acquisition methods, and their significance in modern scientific advancement.

Did you know that nanotechnology is already being applied to something as everyday as vegetables? Recent research shows that nanozymes can function as highly efficient sensors to detect pesticide residues in food. This technology promises more accessible, faster, and more accurate methods for assessing food safety, with the potential to improve sanitary controls and reduce risks for consumers. Nanoscale science also plays a key role in what ends up on our plates.

What is currently regarded as waste may be pivotal for the future of medicine. Scientific investigations demonstrate that shrimp byproducts contain molecules with the potential to inhibit cancer cell growth, reduce inflammation, and combat oxidative stress. While clinical trials are still required, these findings reveal a compelling path: transforming waste into therapeutic tools in the fight against cancer.

During adolescence, the hormonal system is still adjusting. When a pregnancy occurs at this stage, the body faces a dual demand: to continue growing and to sustain a new life. Science shows us how these hormonal and metabolic changes influence the health of both mother and baby, and why it is key to understand them from a scientific and public health perspective.

The Socratea exorrhiza, a palm tree from the Amazon rainforest, can slowly 'walk' up to 20 meters per year. It does this by extending new roots toward areas with more light and letting the old roots die, literally moving forward step by step.
