Risolvere una delle più grandi domande aperte sulla natura della materia oscura
Zephyrnet
Ci deve essere una comunicazione linguistica segreta tra la materia oscura e la materia standard nell'Universo. Che cos' è? La gravità potrebbe essere la ragione di questa discussione. Un nuovo studio della SISSA pubblicato su "The Astrophysical Journal" fa luce su questa annosa questione.
Cérebros de polvos e humanos compartilham os mesmos "genes saltadores"
Revista Galileu
Segundo a pesquisa, os genes em questão estão ativos tanto em nós como em duas espécies de polvo: Octopus vulgaris, o polvo-comum, e Octopus bimaculoides, o polvo-da-califórnia. O estudo foi liderado por Remo Sanges, da Escola Superior Internacional de Estudos Avançados (Sissa), e Graziano Fiorito, da Estação Zoológica Anton Dohrn, ambas na Itália.

Study: Same 'Jumping Genes' are Active in Octopus and Human Brains
Sci-News
New research shows that the same jumping genes are active both in the human brain and in the brain of two species: the common octopus ( Octopus vulgaris ) and the Californian octopus ( Octopus bimaculoides ).
Octopus and Human Brains Share the Same 'Jumping Genes'

The neural and cognitive complexity of these animals could originate from a molecular analogy with the human brain, as discovered by a research paper that was recently published in BMC Biology and coordinated by Remo Sanges from Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (SISSA) of Trieste and by Graziano Fiorito from Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn of Naples.

¿En qué se parece el cerebro de un humano y el de un pulpo?

«El descubrimiento de un elemento de la familia LINE, activo en el cerebro de las dos especies de pulpos, es muy significativo porque añade apoyo a la idea de que estos elementos tienen una función específica que va más allá de copiar y pegar», explica Remo Sanges, director del laboratorio de Genómica Computacional de la Scuola Internazionale Superiore di Studi Avanzati (Trieste, Italia) y que también ha participado en el estudio.
