  • UN-backed report finds even temporary rises above Paris agreement target could cause harm to glaciers and polar ice sheets

    Earth’s icy regions face such dangerous melting that global heating should be brought back below 1C after an inevitable period of overshooting global temperature targets, a UN report has found.

    Permanent and widespread losses of snow and ice expose a “persistent myth” that overshooting the 1.5C target of the Paris climate agreement – to 2C or 3C – could be manageable or even preferable to urgent cuts to emissions, the report found.

  • Action taken to prevent bottom trawling in the marine protected area and conserve porpoise populations

    Greenpeace activists have dropped boulders in the North Sea to snag the dragnets of industrial trawlers fishing in a marine protected area.

    Activists onboard the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise dropped the giant stones to form an underwater barrier around the Southern North Sea marine protected area (MPA) – the UK’s most bottom-trawled MPA.

  • Disruption to winds above Arctic threatens to alter weather patterns across parts of continent in coming weeks

    The stratospheric polar vortex over the northern hemisphere is facing the prospect of an unusually early weakening. Forecast models suggest it could weaken significantly over the next 10 days, when it would typically be strengthening.

    A major sudden stratospheric warming (SSW) event is possible. This could influence weather patterns in the following weeks, increasing the likelihood of persistent areas of high pressure across the mid-latitudes and colder conditions weeks later.

  • A Guardian investigation has found that despite a recommendation to slow down, leading shipping companies continue to travel above advised speeds in a key habitat for cetaceans

    Marine biologist Alice Barbarioli waits with her camera trained on the horizon. A few minutes earlier, the hydrophone beneath the Pelagos research vessel detected codas – the sequence of clicks sperm whales use to communicate.

    The sperm whale reveals its head and dorsal fin as those onboard the vessel in the Pelagos sanctuary, a conservation area established to protect marine mammals in the north-western Mediterranean, rush to take photos and note the rhythm of its breathing. After a few minutes, the animal arches its back, and begins to head back into the depths of the sea. They wait to catch a glimpse of its tail.

  • Inkpen and Combe, Berkshire: If the price goes down, the village WhatsApp group lights up

    Beyond the reach of the gas mains, there is tension about the coming winter. Many rural homes have an open fire or wood burner, but most rely on kerosene oil for hot water and heating. Since the US-Iran war began, its cost has more than doubled. Currently, 1,000 litres (lasting 10-12 weeks) is £1,219. A year ago, it was £549. Seasoned wood is in demand.

    We watch the oil price rise, with none of the consumer protections afforded to gas customers. If the price per litre drops, as during the June ceasefire, the village WhatsApp group lights up.

  • Cop17, focused on protecting nature and restoring ecosystems, concludes on Saturday with critics saying system allows ‘one idiot’ to stall progress

    Calls are growing for major reforms to UN biodiversity summits as countries fail to deliver on their promises to halt the destruction of the natural world, with governments likely on track to continue their record of never having met a target in the 34-year history of the convention.

    Two weeks of negotiations at biodiversity Cop17 in Yerevan, Armenia, concluded on Saturday morning with countries vowing to redouble their efforts to meet this decade’s targets, which include commitments to protect 30% of the planet for nature, restore nearly a third of Earth’s degraded ecosystems and reform $500bn (£410bn) of environmentally damaging subsidies.

  • More than 100,000 species are traded globally, whether illegally smuggled, sold as ornaments or in fisheries, timber and fashion industries, study finds

    The number of plant and animal species in use or sold in the wildlife trade is more than twice as high as previously thought, researchers have discovered.

    A study, published in Science Advances, warns that there are huge gaps in global assessments of how wildlife is traded, and that past estimates have failed to keep up with changes such as the boom in the online exotic pet trade, where sellers offering to post spider eggs across the world or sneak reptiles on to planes are just a click away.

  • At more than $52m, the race has become the most expensive in US history, but residents are fed up with flooding

    Aida Havel mulled her fate over coffee after working the early voting polls all day in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. “We are trapped,” she concluded.

    The Dare county commission candidate lives about 50 miles (80km) south, on Hatteras Island on the state’s Outer Banks.

  • From feeding schoolchildren to recycling tyres, these entrepreneurs are challenging stereotypes while solving social and environmental problems

    Africa is thought to have a higher proportion of female entrepreneurs than any other continent and yet many still struggle to access financing. Four business leaders from Nigeria, Uganda, Kenya and Malawi tell us about the inspiration behind their success – and the challenges women still face.

  • Allerton Project attracts abundant wildlife and its success can offers clues to reversing the sharp drop in populations

    Farmer Alastair Leake is standing in a field of sprouting winter wheat, pointing at his experiment. One side was ploughed before planting, with green shoots breaking through neat rows of upturned soil. On the other, the crop was drilled directly into the earth, emerging through a messy carpet of “trash” – stems, stubble and crop residue from previous harvests.

    “When we’re watching to see where the birds are landing to feed, none of them are going on to the ploughed side,” says Leake, the director of the Allerton Project farm, standing on the trashy side. “They’re all coming and feeding down here.

  • Od otpornog škroba do staničnih stijenki biljaka, znanstvenici istražuju skrivenu konkurenciju i suradnju među crijevnim bakterijama, postavljajući intrigantna pitanja o tome što se događa s različitim vlaknima nakon što dođu do debelog crijeva.

  • U nedavno objavljenoj studiji znanstvenici su procijenili učinke konzumacije oraha na imunoglobuline (Ig) i antitijela usmjerena protiv lipoproteina niske gustoće modificiranih malondialdehidom (MDA-LDL). Nakon dvije godine, dugotrajna konzumacija oraha bila je povezana s ukupnim koncentracijama IgG-a u serumu koje su bile približno 6% više nego u kontrolnoj skupini, što upućuje na mogući utjecaj prehrane na cirkulirajuće imunološke biomarkere. 

  • Aorta se često prvenstveno smatra najvećom krvnom žilom u tijelu - izdržljivim kanalom koji dostavlja krv bogatu kisikom iz srca u svaki organ. No, sve više dokaza upućuje na to da je stijenka aorte također aktivno imunološko okruženje. Imunološke stanice koje se nalaze unutar ili su regrutirane u različite dijelove aorte mogu utjecati na to kako se ova žila razvija, prilagođava mehaničkom stresu i postaje osjetljiva na bolesti.

  • Međunarodna studija izvještava o 60-postotnom preživljenju bez progresije bolesti 10 godina nakon autologne transplantacije koštane srži, pružajući važne dokaze o trajnim pozitivnim kliničkim ishodima i dugoročnoj sigurnosti kod pacijenata liječenih zbog rane, teške sistemske skleroze.

  • Novo istraživanje pokazuje da osobe s glioblastomom imaju aktivnije trombocite – stanice koje sudjeluju u zgrušavanju krvi. Trombociti također komuniciraju s drugim stanicama i mogu utjecati na imunološku aktivnost. Hiperaktivni trombociti kod osoba s glioblastomom usporavaju djelovanje T-stanica koje se bore protiv raka, što može pridonijeti rastu tumora i napredovanju bolesti.

  • Prepune karotenoida i drugih bioaktivnih spojeva, klice brokule i mikrozelenje privlače znanstvenu pozornost. Karotenoidi su prehrambeni pigmenti koji doprinose boji voća i povrća te pomažu u nekoliko fizioloških procesa. Karotenoidi uključuju karotenoide provitamina A, poput beta-karotena, alfa-karotena i beta-kriptoksantina, te karotenoide koji nisu provitamin A, poput luteina, zeaksantina i likopena. Karotenoidi mogu utjecati na osjetljivost na inzulin, metabolizam lipida, adipogenezu i upalnu signalizaciju.

  • Zubna caklina je visoko mineralizirani vanjski sloj zuba. Caklina štiti unutarnje slojeve zuba od šećera i kiselina koje unosimo hranom, kao i od svakodnevnog žvakanja, grizenja i trenja. Ona je najtvrđe tkivo u ljudskom tijelu.

  • Znanstvenici s Instituta za imunologiju La Jolla (LJI) i Sveučilišta u Washingtonu (UW) otkrili su da pacijenti s lupusom imaju neobične mutacije koje njihova tijela mogu pretvoriti u bojna polja. Spomenute su mutacije raširene u imunološkim stanicama zvanim neutrofili. Druge imunološke stanice doživljavaju mutirane neutrofile kao prijetnju – te pokušavaju uzvratiti napad. Ta unutarnja borba može doprinijeti razvoju bolnih upala, iscrpljujućih bolova u zglobovima i drugih ozbiljnih simptoma lupusa diljem tijela.

  • Rad u noćnim smjenama tijekom trudnoće povezan je s povećanim rizikom od neuroloških razvojnih abnormalnosti otkrivenih probirom kod djeteta do 4. godine života, otkriva novo straživanje. No, duljina noćnog prenatalnog sna tijekom ovog razdoblja može promijeniti ovu uočenu povezanost.

  • Niske razine vitamina B12 povezuju se s kardiovaskularnim bolestima, što je potaknulo znanstvenike da prouče kako nedostatak tog vitamina utječe na krvne žile, što klinička ispitivanja otkrivaju o uzimanju dodataka prehrani te koji bi pacijenti od toga mogli imati najviše koristi.
