The wildfires in the Amazon rainforest become a trend topic. In the last few days we\u00a0stay very concerned about the rainforest, sustainability and the life on Earth in general. After all the discussion and reading, the conclusion is that we need to take action, as humans and as scientists. I wrote several articles about the climate change and the Amazon rainforest biodiversity to raise awareness about the importance to keep the forest alive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can see these articles below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/climate-change-science\/#.XWloPyhKiM8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New scientific data stops climate change denier<\/a>s<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/underground-network-keeps-rainforests\/#.XWloPihKiM8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The underground network that keeps rainforests alive<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/amazon-rainforest-images\/#.XWloPShKiM8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest in images<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But today I want to talk about the latest science news in an optimistic way. We work in science to improve human lifes, discover more about life and universe and to change for the better, right?<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 574px;\" class=\"wp-video\"><!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('video');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<video class=\"wp-video-shortcode\" id=\"video-10374-1\" width=\"574\" height=\"322\" autoplay=\"1\" preload=\"metadata\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"video\/mp4\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/travel-through-the-universe-amazing-credit-nasa.mp4?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/travel-through-the-universe-amazing-credit-nasa.mp4\">https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/travel-through-the-universe-amazing-credit-nasa.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So let&#8217;s check what other scientists are discovering.

So, I want to share with you the best of science news:<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurekalert.org\/pub_releases\/2019-08\/bch-cge082219.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>CRISPR slows the growth of triple-negative breast cancer in mice:<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A team of researchers at Boston Children&#8217;s Hospital has developed an innovative way to knock out the gene Lipocalin 2 using the editing system CRISPR and has shown its potential for treating triple-negative breast tumors in mice. This gene is is related with\u00a0triple-negative breast cancer, an aggressive form of the disease for which there are few effective, targeted treatments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The graphical abstract made bu the authors shows the biomechanisms of in vivo CRISPR genome editing. You can see how the deformable nanostructure of the tumor targeted nanolipogel system (tNLG) significantly improves its capability to cross leaky tumor endothelial barriers. Arrows highlight the events of transendothelial delivery of tNLGs. For the last, you can see how CRISPR plasmids of tNLGs are directly released into the cytosol of targeted TNBC cells via ICAM1-mediated membrane fusion pathway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10379\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/capture5.png\" alt=\"Capture5\" width=\"885\" height=\"443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/capture5.png 885w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/capture5-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/capture5-768x384.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/cell-reports\/fulltext\/S2211-1247(19)30626-6?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS2211124719306266%3Fshowall%3Dtrue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>A new study shows that physical exercise ameliorates the abnormalities in sociability, repetitiveness, and anxietyin in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Physical exercise has attracted attention as a potential therapeutic strategy for abnormal behaviors in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). The authors\u00a0examined the role of microglia in synaptic deficits in maternal immune activation (MIA) offspring.\u00a0Microglia are\u00a0the resident immune cells in the brain. The\u00a0results revealed that exercise reversed the abnormal behaviors and synaptic surplus in adult MIA offspring. So exercise actives a portion of neurons, resulting in the engulfment of excess synapses by microglia, likely primed by synaptic competition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/nature-neuroscience\/#.XWltvShKiM8\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10384\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/preview_69620-1024x640-1-1024x640.png\" alt=\"preview_69620-1024x640 (1)\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/preview_69620-1024x640-1.png 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/preview_69620-1024x640-1-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/preview_69620-1024x640-1-768x480.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/h4>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/africarenewal\/news\/polio-no-longer-endemic-nigeria-%E2%80%93-un-health-agency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Polio is no longer endemic in Nigeria<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The information is from the World Health Organization (WHO).
