Plastic-eating bacteria discovered in the ocean

Beneath the ocean’s surface, bacteria have evolved specialized enzymes that can digest PET plastic, the material used in bottles and clothes. Researchers at KAUST discovered that a unique molecular signature distinguishes enzymes capable of efficiently breaking down plastic. Found in nearly 80% of ocean samples, these PETase variants show nature’s growing adaptation to human pollution.

Scientists reverse Parkinson’s symptoms in mice — Could humans be next?

Scientists at the University of Sydney have uncovered a malfunctioning version of the SOD1 protein that clumps inside brain cells and fuels Parkinson’s disease. In mouse models, restoring the protein’s function with a targeted copper supplement dramatically rescued movement, hinting at a future therapy that could slow or halt the disease in people.

@jaseg In the end of the article it's written that it's AI assisted. So, yes, there is AI, no wonder. Regarding the disservice, I think that I learned something from the article. For instance the components on this new material, the fact that in 10-20 years we may see a shift in electronics to photonics. The article put some seeds for our curiosity to explore more content and the post I made serves ME as a log of interesting science news.
