Where will Reykjavík go in 250 million years?

Image
250 million years ago, all the continents on Earth were combined into one supercontinent called Pangea. It existed for about 100 million years, until the movement of tectonic plates finally began to break it apart. Tens of millions more years passed before Pangea finally split into two smaller continents, Laura and Gondwanaland, which broke up into continents long after, […] The article Where Reykjavík will go in 250 million years comes from ICELAND NEWS. https://nord.news/2023/01/31/where-will-reykjavik-go-in-250-million-years/?feed_id=8192

Long covid linked to air pollution exposure in young adults - new study

Image
Although covid-19 infections are usually less severe in young adults, this does not mean that they are not still at risk of complications from covid-19. For example around one in 25 adults over 16 have reported suffering from prolonged covid-19 symptoms after their first infection. For some, these symptoms lasted almost two years. While we are getting closer to understanding some of the genetic and immunological mechanisms that causes long-term covid, there's still a lot we don't know about the condition — including why people with otherwise mild covid-19 infections go on to develop long-term covid. We also know some of the risk factors that make people more likely to develop long-term covid - including suffering from chronic diseases and have one unhealthy lifestyle . And our latest study has now revealed that, at least for young adults aged 26-28, where they live can increase the risk of long-term covid. While most people recover from a covid-19 infection after a fe...

Study says memory-killing cells may improve melanoma patients' chances of survival

Image
Solna [Sweden] June 3 (ANI) Specialized long-lasting killer cells are found in our skin and act as a defense against invaders. Researchers from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have now determined how these cells are created and shown that higher concentrations of memory-killing cells in tumor tissue are associated with a higher probability of survival for melanoma patients. Immunity, a publication, has published the work. Certain immune T cells called tissue-resident memory cells form locally in the skin and other tissue, and protect against infections they have encountered before. Some of them express proteins that enable them to kill infected cells. These "memory killer cells" may also contribute to the inflammatory skin diseases vitiligo and psoriasis. Recent research has shown that they are also involved in the body's immune response to various forms of cancer. Different treatment responses. The memory ...
