NASA to attempt first controlled flight on Mars as soon as Monday

A new study led by Professor Gemma Harvey from Queen Mary University of London has revealed how hundreds of species shape the landscapes we depend on, from termite mounds visible from space to beavers creating wetlands and hippos carving drainage systems.

The majority of known asteroids orbit inside the main asteroid belt, which is positioned between Mars and Jupiter at an average distance of around 250 million km from Earth. Since the discovery of the first asteroid in 1801, about 750.000 asteroids have been identified, primarily in the last decade thanks to several optical surveys that examine the sky on clear nights.

According to research, maintaining good cardiovascular health during the first trimester of pregnancy may mitigate the genetic risk of developing preeclampsia and/or gestational hypertension.

Researchers in Melbourne have achieved a first for the world: they have successfully created blood stem cells that closely resemble human tissue. Additionally, the discovery may eventually result in customized therapies for kids suffering from bone marrow failure syndromes and leukaemia.

Globally, ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death. A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly referred to as a "heart attack," is the first event in which insufficient coronary blood flow results in the death of a portion of the heart. Heart failure, heart wall remodelling, and severe inflammation result from this.

New research suggested that living less than 0.3 miles from a pesticide use area before getting pregnant and throughout the first trimester of pregnancy may increase the risk of stillbirths.

It was North America's first total eclipse since 2017 and it won't appear across this part of the world again until 2046. For the first time in nearly a century, the western and northern regions of New York State saw a total eclipse.

Researchers discovered that inedible butterfly species that replicate one other's colour patterns have developed similar flight habits to warn predators and avoid being eaten.

Diseases affecting the bones and joints are becoming more widespread in today's elderly populations. For example, in Japan alone, approximately 12 million people suffer from osteoporosis, a disorder that significantly weakens and fragilizes bones. Understanding the biological processes involved in the maintenance of bone and joint tissue is an important first step toward developing effective therapies for these illnesses.
