University of Sydney scientists have discovered a protein in the lung that blocks SARS-CoV-2 infection and forms a natural protective barrier in the human body. This research opens up an entirely new area of immunology research around LRRC15 and offers a promising pathway to develop new drugs to prevent viral infection from coronaviruses.

Unfortunately, this is unlikely, according to researchers from the Biodiversity Research Institute of the University of Barcelona and the Group of Ecosystem Oceanography of the Oceanographic Center of the Balearic Islands. They explain that small-scale marine reserves are not enough to conserve the functionality of marine ecosystems.

Regularly eating a high fat/calorie diet could reduce the brain’s ability to regulate calorie intake. New research in rats published in The Journal of Physiology found that after short periods of being fed a high fat/high calorie diet, the brain adapts to react to what is being ingested and reduces the amount of food eaten to balance calorie intake.

Under the EU project ‘Beyond Epica’, researchers have developed a new method under which greenhouse gas concentrations in 1.5 million-year-old ice can be measured even more accurately.

Researchers have revealed that adding a pinch of cream of tartar to biodegradable plastic can produce a stronger version of biodegradable plastic which can be used for food packaging or as bags. The seasoning of the biodegradable plastic helps to increase its strength and toughness.
