Fin al misterio de los trombos de la vacuna de AstraZeneca: la ciencia identifica por fin el fallo genético que los causa

¿Por qué la vacuna de AstraZeneca provocó efectos secundarios graves solo en un grupo minúsculo de personas? Tras años de incertidumbre, una investigación publicada en el New England Journal of Medicine revela la errata genética que transformó una protección en una amenaza.

Skin androgens regulate Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity via quorum sensing Nature Microbiology, Published online: 27 February 2026; doi:10.1038/s41564-026-02261-2Testosterone produced by skin cells enhances Staphylococcus aureus pathogenicity by activating quorum sensing, and a stereoisomer of testosterone that blocks this interaction inhibits bacterial cytotoxicity towards human cells.

Las tortugas marinas son fieles a su playa (y eso condiciona el sexo de las crías) Las tortugas marinas son fieles al territorio donde desovan, y esto afecta al sexo de sus crías.

¿Sabías que la fidelidad de las tortugas marinas (y no precisamente a sus parejas) afecta al sexo de sus crías?

#Neurotransmitters are signals that play roles in inter-kingdom #signaling. Our study identifies a #chemoreceptor in #Pseudomonas #aeruginosa responsible for triggering #chemotaxis to #dopamine, #serotonin, #epinephrine & #norepinephrine.
