Agricultural Waste: A Hidden Weapon in the Fight Against Climate Change

A groundbreaking study from the University of East London (UEL) reveals a significant, yet largely untapped, opportunity to mitigate climate change by repurposing agricultural waste into durable building materials. The research highlights the potential of fibrous crop residues – such as wheat, rice, and maize – to act as a powerful carbon

The Body's Own Immune Response May Be the Key to Understanding Severe COVID-19

The Body's Own Immune Response May Be the Key to Understanding Severe COVID-19

Recent scientific inquiry has unveiled a novel mechanism by which the body's defenses against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, can inadvertently contribute to the severity of the illness. Following the virus's elimination by immune system components, residual fragments of the viral spike protein can act
