A young computer scientist was looking for work. So “hacked” LinkedIn to always receive offers first

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

The youth of generation Z face serious difficulties in starting their work career in a labor market so competitivein which for Each job offer hundreds or thousands of candidates are presented. Find The slightest advantage To highlight in job requests it is fundamental. Michael Yan, a 25 -year -old founder and CEO from Simplify, has shared A trick on LinkedIn which allowed him to receive job offers from large companies such as Meta, Microsoft and Google. This method allowed him to access before the rest of vacancies candidates, thus increasing the possibilities of being hired Faced with other candidates. Yan’s trick. Like Yan told to Business InsiderIn 2018, the young manager was in his first year of computer science at Stanford University and was looking for companies to do his first practices. Given its technological training, Yan warned that the URL address of the LinkedIn Employment Section showed an “86400”. That number is not accidental: it is the number of seconds that have 24 hours a day. Therefore, when Yan asked LinkedIn the job offers of “the last 24 hours”, he always showed him those that had been published the day before, not in the last hours. A simple change to be the first. From that discovery, Yan accessed LinkedI’s employment tab and made a search for the professional profile that demanded and applied the filter “publication date” to “last 24 hours”. Then, the number “86400” of the URL address in the browser bar for “3600” changed, which is the seconds that have an hour. In this simple way, the young candidate “hacked” LinkedIn’s job search obtaining the offers published in the last hour, so that always He was one of the first candidates in postulating for vacancies. “I got job offers in Meta and Google because I postulated offers a few hours after they were published,” said the young manager in his publication. Access to better opportunities. Yan discovered that manually modifying these URLs could access the newest offers before other users, which placed their curriculum among the first in the list, causing their hiring options to improve considerably. Although this trick does not guarantee that a company hires someone for a position for which It is not preparedit does offer an important advantage in the selection process. Many companies establish an order of arrival to review the candidacies, so being among the first to apply will place you among the first to do your job interview. That served him to do your practices In the best technological companies. Any advantage is welcome. According to a report of Handshake of 2024, 57 % of the Z generation that will be incorporated into the labor market in 2025 is pessimistic about the start of its careers. 63% ensure that pessimism comes from an extremely competitive labor market. The data suggests that these newly graduated young people have already sent 24 % more employment requests than last year students of the previous year. Although skills and experience remain crucial, response time can be decisive to advance the selection. According The published by Business InsiderAndrew McCashill, expert in professional racing in LinkedIn, said that “being one of the first to run, especially for jobs you really want or for those who are super qualified, should undoubtedly be part of a job search strategy.” In Xataka | A LinkedIn function opens a debate that divides recruiters: the #Pentowork label Image | Unspash (Sign Pratama)

We are in 2025 and millions of men worldwide continue to deny one thing: shorts

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

In a couple of months I have a wedding. And although I still don’t know what I will wear exactly (suit, I don’t suit), I am clear: I will not go in shorts. Nor will I get them out of the closet for my next working meeting, or for food with former schoolmates, or surely for my next family dinner, just as I did not do any of the 11 years I worked in an office. Well seen, in my day to day there are few moments for the shorts, let’s not say the Bermuda. And mine is not a unique case. The relationship between shorts and men It is not simple And (almost) at the doors of summer maybe it is a good time to ask the big question: why? “Only for tennis or beach”. A few years ago the reporter Jefferson Hack, from the magazine Anotherhe asked the designer and filmmaker Tom Ford to give him Some lessons simple to be “a modern gentleman.” He quoted five and one reserved it specifically to talk about the garment that, in his opinion, any man must handle cautiously: shorts. “A man should never use them in the city. Chanclas and shorts are never appropriate in the city. They should only be used on the tennis or beach,” He collected Hack in his Pentalog. Is it the only one who thinks like that? No. For more prestige that Ford has won in the fashion world, his opinions are just that: opinions. However, it is not alone in his posture on the scarce male pants. In ABC of Men´s Fashion The deceased Hardy Amiesanother heavyweight in the design world, also pronounced Roundly On the subject: “A man should never wear shorts, except when he is on the beach or during a walk.” The list of designers and professionals of the fashion world who look suspiciously the short man-pavement binomial is wide and encompasses many other names. Nicolas Gabard I recently confessed that you never saw them, the comedian Brian Park He joked in another podcast ensuring that they should be used “only to do sports or aquatic activities” and a quick search on Google reveals a good handful of articles with A similar toneof editors convinced that a man I should never put on shorts to go to work or that garment It has no place in the closet of a gentleman. “Made me reflect”. The trend is sufficiently pronounced (and curious) so that it has given rise to analysis in media like The country or the magazine GQwhere a few days ago Daniel Varghese signed an article in which he launches a question in the air: “Shirts, why do so many men refuse to take them?” The piece is interesting because, in addition to remembering the opinions of Tom Ford or Gabard, Varghese shares own opinions and some friends. And while they do not deny shortThey do admit that they do not face it with the same approach as the rest of the garments. “A few weeks ago I extracted from my closet the trunk where I keep my summer clothes. I took almost everything without thinking, but there was a garment that made me reflect: some Patagonia Baggies,” Remember Varghese: “He had begun to assimilate the idea that men should never wear shorts.” After consulting with other colleagues he found that they agreed that they only carry shorts In certain contexts (as in very sunny days), they do not feel comfortable with them or even are childish. “I would feel ridiculous”. A similar exercise made in 2019 in SMODA Beatriz Serrano, who asked some men what they thought about the possibility of presenting themselves to their bosses with shorts. The answers go in a similar line. “The offices are formal places where some composure must be kept,” I commentedA 33 -year -old journalist. “The clothing standards can be lightened a bit in summer, but the Bermuda are out of the equation in any case, as well as going in a swimsuit or flip flops (…). There are hundreds of light tissues with which to cover the legs and not look like a kid in the courtyard of the school.” Another man, engineer, about to meet 40, It showed Even more reluctant: “I honestly, I am not comfortable. I would feel ridiculous with the Patorras in the air in my office (…). I am both afraid of seeing me in short pants and seeing the calves of my classmates. “In other cultures, such as the Japanese, it is not usual to meet men in shorts except when they do sports, as you collect The style guide of Inside Tokyo. Why these misgivings? That is the question that was asked just a year ago Guillermo Arenas in in Icon And his response goes beyond aesthetic, cultural or functional issues: he connects directly with the chronicle of the last centuries and “a mixture of puritanism, clash of classes and chance.” After all, the pants (like any other garment) is fashion, but also history. The rise of the bourgeoisie was accompanied by the consecration of the pants to the ankles and the short He went to associate with very specific areas, such as school uniforms. The result is an association that is still maintained today. “They are childish,” Recognize Photographer Daniel Arnold to Vogue. “I feel a giant child.” Another factor that indicates Arenas is its contestant capacity and the use that has been given to the garment in recent decades between rock bands (with fallen and cut shorts) or the gay community. An immovable norm? If something is good for fashion, it is to reinvent and knock up pre -established norms. And with the shorts it could happen exactly that. There are those who have been Wondering openly why a man cannot go to work in shorts And in recent years, prominent names of the world of cinema or fashion have been seen wearing the garment in important quotes.

China is immersed in a nuclear revolution and needs industrial amounts of Uranium. His solution: “fish” in the sea

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

China is one of the countries that is most promoting the adoption of renewable energy thanks to Great ‘farms’ and market saturation of solar panels. At the same time, they have approved the Construction of ten new nuclear reactors. It may seem a contradiction, but in the midst of a Strong commercial warit is another step in energy self -sufficiency, and to achieve it they will need tons of uranium. Your solution? Squeeze the uranium of the seas. Marine mine. The country account with 56 nuclear reactors and has between 25 and 29 under construction. This implies that they need a lot of Uranium and the problem is that they do not produce enough. HE esteem That, in 2023, China’s production was only 1,700 tons, 4% worldwide, and although they have strong reserves, they need more. In turn, China imported Some 22,000 tons in 2024 and have begun to put solutions. In 2024 began The construction of the National Project of Uranium Nº1 in Ordos. It will become the largest uranium mine in the country and a few months ago They announced that had discovered another important site, also in Ordos. However, it still is not enough, so they have seen the sea. Uranium fish. Because yes: there is uranium in the oceans. Its concentration is extremely low, about 3 micrograms per liter, but due to oceanic immensity, it is estimated that the total is 4.5 billion tons of uranium. There are a thousand times more uranium in the seas than in known land reserves. Extract Uranium from the sea is not something new and, during the 80s, Japan led the development of marine uranium extraction techniques. The problem is that it is a complex and, above all, inefficient process. That is why researchers focus on active uranium collection methods‘dapando’ different materials to be able to extract more material per liter. It is also a expensive method, about ten times more to extract it from terrestrial sources. Miraculous material. But this is where the Chinese team of the Frontiers Science Center For Rare isotopes of the University of Lanzhou enters. In a study published in NatureThey explain that the key to extracting more efficient marine uranium resides in the MOF, or metal-organic frameworks. It is a crystalline material composed of metal ions that are coordinated with organic elements to form structures of great porosity. It is like an extremely efficient fishing network to catch small particles that, in the case of uranium, allows you to better separate this element from others to which it can be attached. The Chinese team has dopa with Dipniletinelo molecules and claim that this new DAE-MOF material allows an uranium absorption capacity of 588 mg per gram, according to the tests. This involves an efficiency 40 times higher when separating uranium from metals and vanadium and has been tested both in simulated and real sea water. Aim. The idea is now to create test extraction plants this year, with pilot plants on the tons scale for 2035 and with a continuous production by 2050. wait That China’s demand for uranium is more than 40,000 tons in 2040, so land mines in conjunction with these marine alternative sources are essential to achieve the goal. Without a doubt, it is an advance in marine uranium extraction at a time when the rest of the players on this board are also found Looking for ways to get more out of the sea for energy independence at a time when buying to other countries He has put up legs. And the United States, of course, is also in that fight, with the US Department of Energy analyzing The technical, economic and environmental viability of large -scale uranium extraction in its waters.

What cars can circulate and which ones rest on May 10

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

The weekend arrives. And with the weekend on Saturday. And with Saturday the Sabatino does not circulate today. Because, indeed, one more week we have active today does not circulate of the most special day of the week, the day on which restrictions are more problematic. In this article we will try to describe the restrictions that you will find with the program devised by the Ministry of Environment of the CDMX (Sedema) with which we try to improve the quality of the air we breathe. A quality that suffers with the advance of cars. Therefore, what are clear with the application of this Today does not circulate It is that some cars have to stay at home for the good of all. What are those cars? Those who decide the restrictions and are specified below. But first, remember that everything we are going to talk about from now on only applies in the 16 mayors in Mexico City and in the following conurbed municipalities of the State of Mexico: Atizapán de Zaragoza Coacalco de Berriozábal Cuautitlán Cuautitlán Izcalli Chalco Chicoloapan Chimalhuacán Ecatepec de Morelos Huixquilucan Ixtapaluca La Paz Naucalpan de Juárez Nezahualcóyotl Nicolás Romero Tecámac Tlalnepantla de Baz Tultitlán Chalco Valley What cars and plaques affect the Sabatino today Having these simple clear bases: what restrictions are we found? Well, simply, that some cars cannot circulate. What are they? It depends on each week, as you are going to check in the next lines. Because as you can see in the image superior, every day the restrictions of today do not circulate are applied depending on the hologram and, in some cases, of the latest plaque. That is what must be taken into account for Saturdays. And this day the following conditions occur: Cars that can circulate every Saturday Cars that have to rest every Saturday Cars that rest on a Saturday yes and another Restrictions, yes, do not apply all day. They are active between 05:00 and 10:00 p.m.. That is, at night we can move freely and without taking into account any type of restriction. With these clear basic notes, how do we know if in today’s wise we do not circulate at home or we can circulate without problem? Very simple: looking at the first hologram and the plate number later … if it touches us. To begin with, cars with hologram 2 rest every Saturday, there is not one that can move. On the contrary, those of Hologram 0 and 00 can circulate whenever they want because cars are considered less pollutants. So, it is those of hologram 1 that have to pay more attention. It is exactly these cars that rotate week by week and, therefore, do not always have to stay at home and cannot always circulate. It will depend on the latest issue of its plaque. The week of the Saturday, May 10, 2025 The cars with Hologram 2 and those of Hologram 1 will have to rest with a plaque finished in even number since we are in the second week of May. Next Saturday, being the third week of May will be the cars with hologram 1 and plaque finished in odd number those that rest. However, there are some exceptions that must be taken into account because those cars can move with total freedom: Those that work for electricity, natural gas or are hybrid Those who have disabled plate All those dedicated to urban transport services (includes funerals) Those who offer school or passenger transport Those destined for public safety and/or civil protection In case of breaching these restrictions, the fine will be 20 to 30 times the unit of measurement and update (Uma), which is equivalent to 1,924.40 pesos and even 2,886.60 pesos.

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

A metal fence 4.8 meters high and a door with security camera. That was the spark of a legal dispute that involves a property of West Lake Hills, an exclusive residential area on the outskirts of Austin, Texas. The house is linked to Elon Musk, According to information obtained by The New York Timesalthough it appears in the name of a limited society called Stratford House LLC. A property in the spotlight. The property was acquired in 2022 by this society and since then has been in the center of an urban controversy. According to municipal records, the structures were built without the required permits, contravening the local code. The case was discussed on April 16 in a session of the Zoning and Planning Commission, whose public act includes all the details. The Commission voted against granting the requested exceptions and the matter will now go to the City Council, at a meeting scheduled for June 11, after the applicant asked for a postponement. The before and after, captured by Street View. Google Street View images help visually draw the change. In a capture taken in 2018, the area appears without visible security elements. There is no metal door or closed structures, and in the background you can see a partially exposed building, as well as two vehicles parked on an open platform. View from Street View from an area close to the housing related to Elon Musk: before the reforms (2018) and then (2024) However, in the view corresponding to 2024, the environment has changed substantially. The entrance has been replaced by a metal door, accompanied by at least one visible surveillance chamber. In another capture you can see an imposing wooden door that did not exist in previous records. These transformations would have been carried out without municipal permission. View from Street View from an area close to the housing related to Elon Musk: before the reforms (2018) and then (2024) A story that has changed. All this contrasts with the image that Musk projected in 2021, When he said he lived in a prefabricated house in Boca Chicarented to Spacex, and that the only house of its property was a home for events in the San Francisco area. However, the aforementioned media maintains that the businessman has added at least three mansions in recent yearsamong them this controversial residence. The interior of the prefabricated booth in Boca Chica Beyond an urban issue. The controversy has also revolved around the privacy of the process. According to Correos obtained by the American newspaper, representatives of the alleged owner tried to persuade local authorities to keep the case secret. They argued that, due to their relationship with the Donald Trump government, it should be considered a “federal public official” and that both records and communications with the city were exempt from transparency laws. The city lawyer rejected the petition, protecting himself in the Texas Open Meetings Law. An additional request signed by lawyer Inna Kplun was also dismissed, in which he claimed that the presence of armed security personnel, including federal sheriffs, justified to deal with the matter outside the public scrutiny. The day everything came to light. As Kxan points outDuring the April 16 hearing, the owner’s representatives submitted six exception requests to the Municipal Code, including the five -meter high fence. They recognized that the structures were installed without permission in 2022, when the house was bought. Several neighbors expressed their rejection. The process is still open. But what began as a series of discreet reforms in a property associated with the employer has ended up becoming a public issue, exposed to detail in acts, internal emails and official documents. All in one of the most exclusive areas of Texas, where privacy also has its limits.

find what they have lost

May 10, 2025 by usatoday24

Losing something in public transport is a more common situation than it seems. On many occasions, returning to the place where it is believed to have forgotten is not enough. And in a country with both movement and Japan, the challenge is even greater. A platform that wants to put order in chaos. To face this daily problem, Japan has begun to display a technological platform called Find, based on artificial intelligence (AI). As the firm itself saysit is already operational in train stations, airports and other public spaces in the country. Its operation is direct. When someone delivers an object lost in one of the enabled points, the staff takes a picture and introduces it into the system. Find analyzes the image, identifies parameters such as the color, the shape or distinctive details, and stores all that information in an accessible database. Visual recognition, messaging and automatic search. The next step is the user who has lost his belonging. Through applications such as Line, tremendously popular in Japan, you can start the search indicating where you think it lost it, a description of the object and, if you have it, an image. In case of not having a photo, the system allows you to select a similar visual reference. With that data, the AI promoted by GPT-4O Openai performs an automated search and returns a list of possible coincidences ordered by degree of similarity. Even if the description is inaccurate, the system manages to generate relevant results. If it is finally confirmed that the object belongs to the user, it is indicated where you can go to pick it up. The service is available in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean, which makes it an accessible tool for both residents and foreign visitors. Of spreadsheets to automated analysis. According to SCMPthe technological jump has been remarkable in some operators. Yurikamome, which manages a monorraíl between Shimbei and Toyosu, in the coastal area of Tokyo, used until recently spreadsheets to record the lost objects. A completely manual system, without any automation. Since July 2024, with the incorporation of Find, the process has been transformed completely. A measurable improvement from the first moment. The Keio operator, based in Tokyo, has been one of the first to quantify the impact. Before incorporating the new system, just 10% of lost objects returned to their owners. Now, the figure is around 30%. A remarkable improvement that suggests that the solution works, even in this first stage of deployment. Technology to solve real problems. Although there are similar initiatives in airports or airlines, the Japanese approach stands out for its technological integration. Combining image analysis, instant messaging and automatic learning, Find proposes a new and effective way to manage a daily situation.

Global reservoir water data are incredibly good. The reality of many areas is very different.

May 9, 2025 by usatoday24

Few figures can move more to someone who has followed the day to day of drought in Spain than is: 43,144. Those are, on May 5, 2025, the HM3 in the country’s reservoirs. 76.99% of the total. In recent time, we have never seen anything the same. And yet the alarm signals. And I do not mean only the general reports. That also: the latest Copernicus report, the European land observation system, despite focusing on the situation of central Europe, Let it clear That the situation in Spain is terrible. It leaves no doubt: the vast majority of points in “alert” by drought of the European continent They are on the peninsula. But, as I say, the alerts not only come from obtuse community reports, they also come from the same hydrographic confederations that are prohibiting crops because, according to their calculations, the endowment of reservoirs is not enough. The Granada example. When the Guadalquivir Hydrographic Confederation (CHG) He announced The maximum endowments for irrigation for this year, “the worst omen were confirmed.” The accounts did not give, the regable areas of the province of Granada were going to continue with the greatest restrictions because their water reserves had not improved at the same level as in the rest of the basin. That is, the global figures and even the figures per Cuenca were not enough to know how the country was really: there are entire areas that, despite being part of water full of water, are not going to leave the drought behind. And what does this imply? Well, for example, farmers in La Vega de Granada who have sown winter crops will not be able to plant anything in summer. It is not a new measure, it was already implemented in 2023. The problem is that no one expected this and constitutes a blow to the rentier of a sector accustomed to using rotation to finance the following crops (as explained in ideal“The corn that is now paid expenses and income from winter crops”). That is, despite the water, many areas will have a bad time. Because no, it is not a problem that only affects Granada. A good part of southeast (regardless of the basin), the Balearic Islands or Some areas of the interior They will have water problems and will not be able to develop agricultural activities normally. To that we must add all the crops that go late Or they are Seeing how pests are primed with them. In the background, it is a reminder that the drought problems that have been accompanying us for 10 years cannot be diluted in two springs. As we have said many timesdroughts are managed with full swamps. It is now when you have to redouble efforts in infrastructure and management models. The restrictions may be necessary, but if we stay there … the most important step will be missing. Image | Kshithij Chandrashekar In Xataka | Spain has a huge problem with contaminated waters.

Tariffs are ballasting imports from China to EUU and stir a ghost: empty shelves

May 9, 2025 by usatoday24

Things do not go as planned in the port of Los Angeles, one of The great terminals of US containers trafficking. Its responsible expected the arrival of 80 ships throughout May, but 20%have been canceled, according to He explained this week to the CNN Gene Seroka chain, its executive director. And it is not the only drop in activity that has suffered. “This week we have dropped about 35% compared to the same period last year,” he adds. The collapse really has little mysterious. It comes after him Tariff pulse Between Washington and Beijing and the application of tariffs to many other countries. Of what Start to speak Now in the US it is What will come After that drop in imports and, most importantly, if it will translate into price increases and empty shelves. More tariffs, less reservations. The sector looked to come. The commercial war initiated by Trump and its tariff climbing with Beijing It soon perceived In port operators and shipping companies, especially in those that operate the Transatlantic routesbetween the US and Asia. In April the CEO of Flexport He warned that maritime container reserves from China to the US had collapsed 60% during the three weeks following the entry into force of new fees. And in the ports of southern California (keys in commerce with China) the traffic of cargueros of the Asian giant deflated 29% between the end of April and early May. That was the prelude. The big question was … What would come later? A percentage: 50%. After several weeks and without an agreement between Washington and Beijing that allows the 145% tariff To Chinese exports, a “puncture” in the flow of goods are already found at the US docks. A good part of the ships that arrive on the other side of the Pacific (the first after the climb of the tariffs) do so half empty. It recognizes it for example the executive director of the port of Los Angeles, who Talk about a fall In China imports aboard ships of more than 50%. “And these ships are the first to be affected by the tariffs that were imposed on China and other places last month,” Remember Seroka. “That is why the load volume is so low.” There are importers who have directly canceled orders because US companies are not willing to take care of tariffs and retailers who have chosen to maintain merchandise in Chinese warehouses. The most predictive. The fear of the trade war in fact led not a few companies to advance their imports to avoid tariffs, which explains that the US trade deficit increased 14% in March until it is located in 140.5 billion dollars. In April, container imports also grew (9.1%) for the same reason, but ports of the ports They already warn That this trend, driven by haste to buy before the entry into force of the rates, will disappear in May. In the port of Los Angeles, the great entrance door of Chinese products to the USA, They waited this week That the import load was 35% lower than last year and it is already noted that May maritime traffic can fall by 20%. The reason: ship operators cancel their trips because there is no demand. The National Federation of Retailers in fact provides that imports to the US At least 20% Interannual in the second half of the year, a percentage that for JP Morgan could rise to 75 or 80% if we talk specifically about the merchandise of China. And what will that mean? That is the big question. That tariffs affect load traffic is not relevant only for shipping companies and port directors. After all, they are only intermediaries. “A 60% decrease in containers means 60% less products arrival,” Remember Ryan PetersenExecutive Director of Flexport in the CNN chain. “It’s just a matter of time that the existing stock is exhausted, and then we will see shortage. And it will be when price increases are noticed.” In his opinion, if the trend continues and inventories are exhausted in summer, “empty shelves” in stores could be seen. Supply chain earrings. Petersen is not the only one who shares that concern. At the end of April, just before Trump went down the tone with the Federal Reserve and soften its position with respect to China, Axios revealed That the executive directors of Walmart, Target and Home Depot, three chains with large glue in the US, launched a warning to Trump: over time prices will rise and can reach a scenario of empty shelves. In fact the CNBC It already prevents that the fall of orders to China and the collapse of the reserves on load ships is approaching the supply chain to its critical point. It is not a minor issue.

May 9, 2025 by usatoday24

Carbohydrates or carbohydrates are a fundamental macronutrient in our diet. They represent, together with the fats, the main energy contribution to our body. Carbohydrates are also protagonists in some diets destined for weight loss, diets based on the fact that, in the absence of these nutrients, our body will resort to the energy stored in their fatty tissue. A plan that is not infallible. DNA damage. A new study has found a mechanism that could link low carbohydrate diets with a Risk increase of suffering from colorectal cancer. The union link would be in the microorganisms that reside in our digestive system, our intestinal microbiome. In a study conducted with mice, the team responsible for the analysis observed that these types of diets could worsen the deterioration of DNA caused by some of the microbes that usually inhabit our digestive tract. This facilitates the appearance of polyps that in turn increase the risk of appearance of this type of tumors. “Colorectal cancer has always been seen as the consequence of a number of diverse factors, including diet, intestinal microbioma, environment and genetic,” explained in a press release Alberto Martin, co -author of the study. “Our question was, does the diet affect the ability of specific bacteria to cause cancer?” Three diets under study. In his study, the team tested three types of diet: a “normal”, a carbohydrates, and a “western” rich in fat and sugar. He did it by combining these diets with different types of usual bacteria between our intestinal microbiota and suspects of keeping some kind of relationship with the risk of colorectal cancer. They found a combination of diet and microorganism with potential to trigger adverse relationships, that of the low carbohydrate diet and a variety of bacteria of the species Escherichia coli (E. coli). They observed that this diet encouraged production by the bacterium of the colibactin, a compound with the ability to damage the DNA and with it of producing cancer. The key I could be in the fiberthe team points out. This type of diets facilitates inflammation, altering the microbial community of its interior, which in turn creates an ideal environment for the propagation of the E. coli. A fallen barrier. The team also observed that the mucous barrier that separates epithelia cells (the outermost cells of the intestine) of bacteria was reduced, which could also facilitate that colibactin reaches intestine cells. This would increase the harmful potential of the compound. The details of the study have been published In an article In the magazine Nature Microbiology. And what about humans? Studies with mice have an obvious limitation, and it is that extrapolating what is observed in these rodents to our own species is not always possible. The team He stood out for it The need to confirm their findings in people, although they were also optimistic about the possibility that their study could be applied in cancer prevention. The microbioma in the spotlight. This is not the only recent study that has put in the spotlight to the bacteria of the species E. coli already the colibactin in regards to colorectal cancer. A few days ago We had the news of A study Made with patients from 11 countries who found exposure tests at an early age to this toxin could be linked to an increased risk of these types of tumors.
