PROVECHITO...El Cuy es un curioso y simpático animalito que es originario de las regiones andinas de América del Sur, como Perú, Bolivia, Ecuador y Colombia. El hombre andino lo domesticó hace 2 500 a 3 600 años, aproximadamente (según las evidencias), desde entonces ha acompañado a diferentes pueblos que se asentaron en los andes formando parte de su gastronomía y de sus complejos rituales. Es llamado también cuye, cobaya, cobayo, conejillo de indias o guinea pig, aunque originariamente su denominación en quechua es quwi o haka, y k'uwisu en aimara.
En Sudamérica existen 26 tipos de Cuy.
Concretamente en Perú, se pueden encontrar seis especies: Perú, Andina, Inti, Merino, Inka e in*******al o cuy sintético, que es producto del cruce de las razas mencionadas anteriormente.
En 1940 investigadores estadounidenses descubrieron que la carne de cuy contenía una enzima llamada “Asparaginasa”, la misma que actuaba sobre los tumores, deteniendo su crecimiento. Por tal razón, médicos oncólogos recomiendan el consumo de la nutritiva carne de cuy.

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), for instance, would put a Trump-appointed official in charge of implementing the new policies, including protocols for reporting research-integrity violations. In the past, responsibility for such tasks at federal agencies was generally held by career civil servants, who were often scientists hired for their expertise.

Some researchers say that US-agency policies provide opportunities for political interference.

In a recent study, researchers at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging found that the gut immune system shifts in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease.

These immune cells traffic along the gut-brain axis and may be a new target for therapeutics.

Sea ice is shrinking rapidly, the floating glaciers known as ice shelves are melting faster, the ice sheets carpeting the continent are approaching tipping points and vital ocean currents show signs of slowing down.

Published today in Nature, our new research shows these abrupt changes are already underway – and likely to significantly intensify in the future.

Several authors of this article have witnessed these startling changes during fieldwork on the ice. These changes spell bad news for wildlife, both iconic and lesser known. But the changes will reach much further.

Antarctica has long been seen as a remote, unchanging environment. Not any more.

For the first time, researchers have used the CRISPR gene editor to repair a flawed gene in the human body. In a press release, the biotechnology company Beam Therapeutics announced it had given nine patients with a lung and liver disease called alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency an intravenous infusion of lipid nanoparticles. These particles contained instructions that let the body’s liver cells make a version of CRISPR designed to correct a single mutated base in a gene that produces the AAT protein. In people with AAT deficiency, the uncorrected gene causes the body to produce a flawed, toxic version of the AAT protein that harms the lungs’ ability to deal with inflammation and builds up in the liver.
