MS-13 Offered to Negotiate Peace in El Salvador. Their New President Said No.
Nayib Bukele, the 37-year-old president of El Salvador, faces a humanitarian and economic crisis exacerbated by gang violence and migration. Despite MS-13's offer to negotiate peace, Bukele refuses to legitimize their power, instead focusing on job programs to provide better opportunities. His approach aligns with U.S. efforts to stem migration, although the White House has halted aid payments to the region. Bukele's strategy hinges on attracting U.S. investment to create local jobs and reduce the need for migration.
An end to skin grafts? New technique heals wounds by reprogramming skin cells
Researchers at the Salk Institute have developed a new stem-cell-based technique to heal cutaneous ulcers by reprogramming the cells present in wounds into new skin cells. The technique involves converting mesenchymal cells into basal keratinocytes, which can then form healthy skin. Experiments on mice showed promising results, with ulcers healing in 18 days without visible scars. Further research is needed to ensure long-term safety, but the approach could revolutionize wound healing and have applications in skin repair and aging.
