This is pretty incredible, I really hope the scaffolding ends up being biocompatible in humans and blood flow is able to be sustained to the new cells. Exciting news, but still a long ways to go for full human trials.

I hope these researchers live long and stay away from windows.

Yep! No need to fix climate change! We’ll just wait for everything to evolve!

0.1°C per decade is not fast enough an adaptation. If rate of world heating increase is faster than the corals can adapt, it’s all the same frogs in boiling water story.

Doubtful.

I suspect the river goddess will be pleased.

PlantDadManGuy, to upliftingnews in 60% of Ecuadorians Vote Against Continued Oil Drilling in Critical Yasuni Amazon Biosphere

And I’m sure that the government will listen to the will of the people instead of choosing the easy oil money, right guys?

sylverstream,

This community is called uplifting news… Let’s just celebrate positive news.

dublet,

From the article, which I’m sure you read in its entirety:

State oil company Petroecuador will have to dismantle its drilling operations in the area in the coming months, something which they’ve stated they will comply with as soon as the vote is officially counted and ratified.

This is unlikely to be the end of this story though.

deranger, to upliftingnews in India Approves $7 Billion For 10,000 Electric Buses to Clean Air in 170 Cities

Even better, they approved even more funding for rail. As much as I like to see things transitioning to electricity, batteries are not the future - at least in their current state.

The cabinet also approved seven railway tracking projects worth 3.25 million lakh rupees to boost connectivity and mobility across nine states.

sylverstream,

That’s awesome! Here in NZ they should do that too!

Agreed that batteries are not the end goal, but it’s at least much better than ICE.

This needs to happen everywhere, re establishing mangroves and coastal ecosystems in developed areas is also very important.

Or we could stop eating animal products. The countries with the highest dairy consumption have the highest levels of osteoporosis

Charliebeans, to upliftingnews in Newly-Identified Molecule Could Be the Key to Targeting Obesity and Osteoporosis

Sounds good! But in my mind this falls more into “potentially good news”, not only when or how this will go into production, but also how big pharma will handle this 🥲

Nice. I hope they seedlings take.
