What if human blood were toxic to mosquitoes? A drug can make it so
Nature - A single dose of the drug nitisinone could render a person’s blood lethal to mosquitoes for five days, modelling suggests.

CNIO researchers discover a new mechanism for rapid liver regeneration triggered by glutamate
The liver is a vital organ, crucial to digestion, metabolism and the elimination of toxins. It has a unique ability, regeneration, which allows it to replace liver cells damaged by the very toxins that these cells eliminate. However, the liver stops regenerating in cases of diseases that involve chronic liver damage –such as cirrhosis–. Such […]
