The research has yielded valuable insights, and scientists plan to share their findings with the Food and Drug Administration. Their ultimate goal is to conduct tests with pig kidneys in living patients.

NASA's Perseverance rover has achieved a significant milestone by successfully producing breathable oxygen on Mars. This accomplishment comes through the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) device, which has been operational for two years since the rover's arrival on Mars in February 2021. MOXIE, about the size of a microwave, has converted Mars' abundant carbon dioxide (comprising 95% of its atmosphere) into 4.3 ounces (122 grams) of oxygen. To provide context, this amount of oxygen is equivalent to what a small dog breathes in over a 10-hour period. This achievement raises hope for the potential future sustainability of human life on Mars.

A county in China is introducing a novel incentive to encourage young couples to marry and boost the declining birth rate in the country. They are offering a "reward" of 1,000 yuan (£109) to newlywed couples if the bride is 25 years old or younger. This initiative comes as China grapples with a significant decrease in marriage rates, which hit a historic low of 6.8 million in 2022, marking the lowest figure since 1986. This is a drop of 800,000 marriages compared to the previous year.

The decline in marriage rates has had a direct impact on birth rates, and existing policies in China have made it challenging for single women to have children. In light of these demographic challenges, the county is taking this unusual step to encourage more young people to tie the knot and potentially address the declining birth rate issue.

A significant increase in tourist activity has been observed on Mount Fuji, the highest peak in Japan. The post-Covid tourism surge has drawn thousands more people to the mountain, which spans across Japan's Yamanashi and Shizuoka prefectures. As Mount Fuji commemorates the 10th anniversary of its UNESCO World Heritage site designation this year, officials are apprehensive that the environmental situation has reached a "critical point."

In response to these concerns, officials have taken decisive action by temporarily closing the iconic Mount Fuji trails to visitors for the remainder of the year. This closure is a response to the overwhelming influx of tourists, some of whom have not shown the necessary respect for this revered mountain, and aims to address the environmental challenges that have arisen as a result.
