In 2024, researchers achieved a significant milestone by partially reconstructing the genome of the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA)—the most recent common ancestor of all current life forms. This ancient organism is estimated to have lived around 4.2 billion years ago, shortly after Earth's formation. The
In 2024, researchers introduced a promising Alzheimer's treatment: RI-AG03, a peptide-based drug designed to prevent the aggregation of tau proteins—a key factor in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Unlike previous treatments that targeted a single aggregation site, RI-AG03 uniquely inhibits both major "hotspots"
n 2024, scientists achieved a historic breakthrough by creating the first complete map of a fruit fly’s brain, known as a “connectome.” The project involved mapping around 140,000 neurons and millions of synaptic connections in the brain of Drosophila melanogaster, a model organism used widely in biology.
