Microplastics are small pieces of plastic less than five millimeters in size that result from the degradation of larger plastic items. Derived from synthetic materials such as polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride, plastics are known for their durability and low cost but pose significant environmental and health risks due to their inability to biodegrade. Microplastics, including even smaller nanoplastics, are found everywhere - in o...

أما في الطب الحديث، وبدلاً من رسم خرائط الأبراج الفلكية ، يمكننا رسم خرائط للجينات. 

وقد خريطة الجينات هذه على التنبؤ بمن سيمرض ومتى سيمرض وبأي مرض سيصاب. 

ولكن أيهما أكثر تأثير على خطر الإصابة بأمراض القلب؟ جودة...
