The province of Huelva has become a strategic territory for Nova Siri Genetics, a company that specializes in the research and experimentation of new strawberry and berry varieties. "Huelva is the area in Europe where its activity has grown the most. In fact, in the current 2023-2024 campaign, the producing companies have planted 50 million plants of the company's strawberry varieties." "Even though the area planted with strawberries in the province of Huelva decreased by this campaign, Nova Siri Genetics managed to considerably increase its activity, as these 50 million plants represent a 34% growth compared to the previous 2022-2023 campaign."

A research team co-led by City University of Hong Kong (CityU) and The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has recently made a significant advancement in spinal cord injury treatment by using genetically-modified human neural stem cells (hNSCs). They found that specifically modulating a gene expression to a certain level in hNSCs can effectively promote the reconstruction of damaged neural circuits and restore locomotor functions, offering great potential for new therapeutic opportunities for patients with spinal cord injury.
