New study led by anthropologists from our Faculty at @unikarlova.cuni.cz provides the first direct physiological data from real persistence hunts 🏃‍♂️. Results in the Journal of Human Evolution show this ancient hunting strategy is energy-efficient and feasible even for modern humans 💪.

🧪 Scientists have developed a powerful new #Galectin-3 inhibitor — featuring a 6-carboxyindol-4-yl amide core. It binds Gal-3 effectively, shows excellent #selectivity and stability, and reduces fibrotic signaling in hepatic cells. A strong lead for #antifibrotic #therapy!

🧬 New research finds activating the cGAS–#STING pathway in human #monocytes triggers a unique form of regulated cell death — a blend of #apoptosis and #pyroptosis dubbed “pyroptotic apoptosis.” This links mitochondrial stress to immune signaling and inflammation.
