Scientists from Spain and the UK have produced the first major classification of the mechanisms that help tumors grow, elude the immune system and resist drugs
The new data from the European space telescope ‘Gaia’ has also identified different generations of stars, and the speed at which they are traveling to and away from Earth
Results from animal experiments reveal a revolutionary method that stimulates the immune system to destroy even the most resistant tumors
A ‘living fossil’ reveals how the original ancestor of all animals, plants and fungi could have come into being 2.5 billion years ago
The American researcher won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for developing immunotherapy. Now he is looking for a way to extend the treatment’s effectiveness to fatal tumors
An experiment in mice has shown that a protein in the nervous system can have a rejuvenating effect on older animals, a finding which may help with future research into how to treat the neurological disease

Preliminary data suggests that the new coronavirus strain causes cold-like indications, fewer fevers and more fatigue, meaning it could be considered a milder form of the disease
The Israeli neurobiologist at the helm of the Weizmann Institute of Science has spent nearly 30 years studying the effects of stress on the brain in order to determine which individuals are at greater risk of disease
Spain is seeing an uptick in coronavirus contagions among the vaccinated. While this is to be expected, it is not likely to lead to more serious cases of the disease
Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz are studying 55 Cancri e, an exoplanet covered in an ocean of lava that is similar to Earth when it was first formed
The magma flow that shaped Spain’s Canaries archipelago 20 million years ago continues to add landmass, while Fuerteventura and Lanzarote are destined to sink under the effects of erosion
The main concern of the authorities now is that toxic clouds created by contact between the molten rock and the ocean could spread to the Canary Island
