A team of medical researchers affiliated with a large number of institutions in China has functionally cured a female patient with type 1 diabetes by injecting her with programmed stem cells.
In a procedure lasting approximately 30 minutes, the researchers injected 1.5 million of the islets they had grown into the abdomen of the first patient, a 25-year-old woman. Placing them in the abdomen allowed for easy monitoring and removal if necessary. Two and a half months later, testing showed the patient was producing enough of her own insulin to stop injections.
Demand for beef, soy, palm oil and nickel hindering efforts to halt demolition by 2030, global report finds
The destruction of global forests increased in 2023, and is higher than when 140 countries promised three years ago to halt deforestation by the end of the decade, an analysis shows.
The rising demolition of the forests puts ambitions to halt the climate crisis and stem the huge worldwide losses of wildlife even further from reach, the researchers warn.

Okay, like, let’s take a step back here and talk about how exhausting it is to see conspiracy theories every time we have a climate disaster. Seriously, why are we so obsessed with blaming anything but ourselves? Like, HELLO, hurricanes like Helene are literally getting worse because of climate change (thank you, fossil fuel industry 😒), but no one wants to talk about THAT. Instead, we’re out here debating if the government is controlling the weather??! Are we in a bad sci-fi movie??
We do nothing when they get shot in scool either.
