Unseen roads discovered at Machu Picchu: secret will be well kept

Archaeologists discovered approximately 2.4 kilometres of pre-Columbian roads hidden under dense tropical rainforest in the vicinity of Machu Picchu, Peru. The pathways, which exhibit typical features of the Inca civilization and are located on the opposite bank from the more than 60 monuments classified as UNESCO World Heritage, lead to platforms and terraces near the so-called Mandor Wall. The discovery, announced by the University of Warsaw, may force researchers to revise some ideas about the organization and function of the Inca complex.

Study explains how breathing can influence our decisions

A German study published in the journal Neuron revealed that slow breathing, with expiration longer than inspiration, can make people more likely to take financial risks. Researchers from the Free University of Berlin used magnetic resonance imaging and cardiac monitors on 41 healthy adults to investigate the effect of controlled breathing on the brain and decisions. Prolonged expiration increases the activity of the parasympathetic nervous system, known as "rest and digest," amplifying cerebral sensitivity to rewards and leading to greater acceptance of risky bets. The study suggests that simple breathing techniques can directly influence economic behavior and decision-making.

Scientists create molecule that eliminates aggressive lymphoma tumors in rats in just 11 days

Researchers at Stanford University, in the United States, developed a molecule capable of eliminating aggressive B-cell lymphomas in rats in just 11 days. The substance redirects a common protein in this type of lymphoma to activate programmed cell death. When administered twice a day, the treatment was able to completely eliminate the tumor in less than two weeks. Professor Gerald Crabtree, from Pathology and Developmental Biology, explained that the approach aims to fight cancer at its cause, eliminating its driving force and reprogramming it to induce self-destruction mechanisms of cells.
