2022-02-09 20:00:13 Scientists at dNovo have grown human hair on the side of Spot's laboratory mouse. This will help cure baldness.

According to Ernesto Lujan, head of the company, they were able to achieve this effect by genetically modifying normal human blood and fat cells into hair follicles. However, this caused some skepticism because of the little information the scientists provided.

In the end, the hair on Spot grew back as early as three weeks after the cell transplantation. Theoretically, the mouse could soon be replaced by a human so that the transplanted cells would cause the dormant follicles to turn back on.

2022-02-08 20:00:11 Scientists from Kyoto have developed a protective mask against coronavirus that glows in the ultraviolet spectrum when it encounters COVID-19 molecules.

To do this, the researchers enlisted the help of ostriches. These birds are very resistant to the coronavirus that causes COVID-19, so the scientists injected ostriches with the virus' spiky protein and then isolated antibodies from the yolks of the birds' eggs. It was these that came in handy in creating the filter. Thanks to them, the mask filter glows under ultraviolet light if it has come into contact with the coronavirus.

You can detect the virus with an ultraviolet flashlight, the arch at the entrance to the subway. And at rave parties. Potentially a very useful thing, but it's a shame that it was invented at the end of the pandemic.
