AI has found new substances that allow you to fight aging.

The researchers trained the model on known examples of substances. As a result, she learned to distinguish between them and was able to predict what else could be used as senolytics. Artificial intelligence checked the initial 4340 molecules and identified the 21 most suitable ones. To do the same work manually would require a huge amount of time and money just to buy connections. The scientists then tested these drug candidates on two types of cells: healthy and aging. The results showed that the three compounds were able to destroy aging cells while maintaining healthy ones.

It is expected that every year, due to the rejection of thin bags, 150 million of them will not end up in landfills. Customers will also use reusable packaging.

The human brain may shrink due to climate change.

Scientists studied how the brain size of 298 Homo individuals has changed over the past 50,000 years in relation to data on temperature, humidity and rainfall.

This trend means that continued global warming could be detrimental to human cognition and significantly affect our physiology.
