No es ruido. No es una ilustración. No es una simulación. Cada punto que ves en esta imagen es una estrella real de la galaxia de Andrómeda, captada por el telescopio espacial Hubble 🔭. Este fragmento forma parte de uno de los estudios más ambiciosos jamás realizados sobre una galaxia vecina, donde los astrónomos lograron identificar millones de estrellas individuales.

🔴 ¡UN NANO-BANANA RIGUROSO! Esta nueva investigación de Google me parece fascinante: un Nano Banana orientado a hacer diagramas informativos para publicaciones científicas (PaperBanana). Mirad todos los diagramas de aquí, que perfectamente podrían estar en un paper 😍




A single dose of a new cancer drug made a brain tumor almost disappear – in just five days. Doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital reported “dramatic and rapid” tumor regression in the first patients treated with a next-generation form of CAR T-cell therapy for glioblastoma, one of the most aggressive brain cancers known. The therapy, called CARv3-TEAM-E, was developed to overcome a major hurdle in treating solid tumors: their ability to hide from the immune system. The personalized treatment reprograms a patient’s immune cells to attack the tumor, and in one extraordinary case, nearly eliminated the cancer within just five days. This novel therapy is designed to target multiple features of the tumor at once, a strategy that may help overcome the common challenge of treatment resistance in solid tumors like glioblastoma. Although the tumors eventually returned, the early outcomes were described as unprecedented. One patient saw a 60% reduction in tumor size that lasted for half a year—an impressive result in a cancer known for its aggressiveness. The trial’s success marks a major step forward for immunotherapy in brain cancer and raises new hopes for long-term control or even a cure. Researchers are now working to refine the treatment and extend its effects, with the ultimate goal of turning a once-terminal diagnosis into a survivable condition.
