Carnegie Mellon University scientists have engineered microscopic robots, called AggreBots, using human lung cells. These bio-robots move with cilia, the tiny hairlike structures that naturally propel particles in the lungs. Researchers demonstrated for the first time that cilia-driven biological robots can be guided with precision. Published in Science Advances, this work opens new possibilities for targeted drug delivery, minimally invasive therapies, and future biomedical innovations. The approach shows how human cells can be re-engineered into active therapeutic tools, advancing the next generation of medical treatments.

Marte e il suo “millefoglie” atmosferico: la nuova immagine del Trace Gas Orbiter

Anyone (academic / researcher) had recent experience with submitting to #ScienceAdvances (https://www.science.org/journal/sciadv)? Good or bad?

We submitted there about 3 months ago and heard absolutely nothing since then..

#SciRev does not have many reviews of that journal for 2025: https://scirev.org/reviews/science-advances/
(BTW, please try to comment on your submission experience on there when you can!)

Edit: we got reviews back! It was just radio silence between submission and now, and maybe our submission had been forgotten and they were reminded of it when we emailed, or it just naturally took a while, who knows.

En otras palabras: factores como los sistemas de #alertatemprana, los planes de evacuación, una mayor preparación social, medidas preventivas como la elevación de edificios y la construcción de embalses, presas y diques. También gracias a los cambios en el uso del suelo, en la urbanización y en la edificación

A new study based on extensive data and recent excavations such as the one pictured in Békés-Várdomb (Hungary) uses the example of Southeast Europe to challenge widely held theories about the emergence of social hierarchies in prehistory. It has been published now at #ScienceAdvances:
