Daily briefing: 'Glimmer of hope' at UN Ocean Conference as 50 countries ratify the High Seas Treaty
Briefly

Fifty countries have ratified the UN High Seas Treaty, which seeks to protect 30% of the Earth's oceans, underscoring a significant step in global conservation efforts. Meanwhile, researchers have made a notable advancement by growing hearts containing human cells within pig embryos, which endured for 21 days, marking progress toward viable human organ transplants. Additionally, a study indicates a correlation between Earth's magnetic field strength and atmospheric oxygen levels, suggesting profound insights into evolutionary dynamics and the search for life beyond our planet.
Researchers achieved a groundbreaking milestone by cultivating hearts with human cells in pig embryos, surviving for 21 days, potentially paving the way for human organ transplants.
The interrelation between Earth's magnetic field and atmospheric oxygen levels over 540 million years suggests critical evolutionary implications and guidance for extraterrestrial life exploration.
