🇨🇳🤝🇪🇸 Fortaleciendo los Puentes Científicos entre China, España y América Latina
Tuve el honor de reunirme con el Sr. Hu Hongliang, General Manager de Wanfang Data
, el principal sistema de indexación científica y académica de China.
Wanfang Data es ampliamente reconocido como la mayor fuente de literatura científica, médica, tecnológica y social del país, y cumple en Asia un papel equivalente al de Scopus (Elsevier) o Web of Science (Clarivate) en Occidente.
El encuentro fue organizado por la Embajada de la República Popular China en España (Madrid), con el valioso apoyo de la Consejera Sra. Le Jia, el Sr. Wang D**g y la Sra. Yan Cao.
Este diálogo representa un paso muy importante para Clinical Biotec S.A. (clinicalbiotec.com) y BioNatura Journal (bionaturajournal.com), al reforzar nuestro compromiso de construir una cooperación científica y editorial sostenible entre China, España y América Latina.
A través de nuestra colaboración con Wanfang Data (clinicalbiotec.com/wanfang-data), trabajamos para establecer una plataforma de largo plazo que promueva la visibilidad académica, el intercambio de conocimiento y el acceso abierto a la ciencia china en toda la región iberoamericana.
Este encuentro marca un hito en la conexión entre los ecosistemas de investigación de China y América Latina y abre el camino a nuevas iniciativas conjuntas en ciencia abierta, innovación y cooperación digital.

Foliar Biozyme and Potassium Boost Cauliflower Growth in Iraqi Soils
A new study published in BioNatura Journal demonstrates that combining potassium sulfate (5000 mg/L) with the biostimulant Biozyme (0.70 mL/L) markedly enhances vegetative growth and yield of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) cultivated in calcareous soils of Iraq.
Researchers from the University of Baghdad found that this treatment achieved the highest plant height, head diameter, and total yield — reaching 52.8 t/ha, a 6% improvement over individual applications. The synergistic interaction between mineral nutrition and biostimulant use highlights an effective, sustainable approach to improving crop performance under nutrient-limited soil conditions.
New insights into Casimiroa edulis (White Sapote): a forgotten medicinal treasure
Once used by the Aztecs as a sleep aid, Casimiroa edulis now reveals a broad pharmacological spectrum — from antihypertensive and anxiolytic effects to antioxidant and anticancer potential.
Recent studies reviewed in this article confirm multiple activities of its leaf and seed extracts, including sedative, hypoglycemic, anti-inflammatory, and vasorelaxant effects comparable to standard drugs, yet with a favorable safety profile when properly formulated.
Desarrollo y caracterización de un gel fitocosmético antioxidante a base de Thalassia testudinum y tintura de propolina: evaluación fitoquímica, tecnológica y microbiológica
Innovador gel antioxidante cubano combina extractos marinos y propóleo para uso cosmético natural
Investigadoras del Instituto de Ciencias del Mar (ICIMAR) y la Universidad de La Habana desarrollaron un gel fitocosmético con extractos de Thalassia testudinum (hierba de tortuga) y tintura de propolina, demostrando alta estabilidad, calidad microbiológica y fuerte capacidad antioxidante.
Una propuesta sostenible que aprovecha recursos marinos cubanos con potencial en la cosmética natural.

Phytocosmetic innovation: an antioxidant gel from Thalassia testudinum and propoline tincture
Researchers from the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICIMAR) and the University of Havana developed a phytocosmetic gel combining the marine plant Thalassia testudinum (turtle grass) with propoline tincture.
The study confirmed strong antioxidant activity, physicochemical stability for 45 days, and absence of microbial contamination—highlighting the potential of this natural formulation as a novel cosmeceutical alternative.
Boosting Rice Growth with Pyroligneous Acid: A Sustainable Biostimulant Solution
A new study published in BioNatura Journal demonstrates the potential of pyroligneous acid (wood vinegar), derived from marabú wood, as an eco-friendly biostimulant for rice cultivation.
Researchers in Cuba tested its effects on three rice varieties under controlled conditions, finding significant improvements in seedling height, root development, and leaf growth—particularly in the INCA LP-5 variety. These findings highlight pyroligneous acid as a promising tool to strengthen food security in resource-limited settings while reducing reliance on costly synthetic inputs.
This research evaluates pyroligneous acid (wood vinegar) as a sustainable biostimulant for early growth of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under controlled conditions. Results show enhanced germination and seedling development, supporting eco-friendly crop production.

Bacteriófagos líticos contra Pseudomonas aeruginosa multirresistente: una alternativa prometedora desde aguas residuales en Perú
Un equipo de investigadores de la Universidad Privada Antenor Orrego, la Universidad Nacional de Trujillo y la Universidad Tecnológica del Perú logró aislar y caracterizar ocho bacteriófagos con actividad contra cepas clínicas de Pseudomonas aeruginosa multirresistentes.
El estudio demostró su estabilidad, amplio rango de hospedadores y diversidad genética, reforzando el potencial de la fagoterapia como estrategia frente a la resistencia antimicrobiana.
This study analyzes lytic bacteriophages targeting multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from wastewater in Peru. Molecular characterization and host range profiling highlight their therapeutic and environmental potential against antimicrobial resistance.

"We're not just fighting an epidemic; we're fighting an infodemic," were the words of Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO), referring to the continually circulating false news about the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. WHO explains that infodemics are an excessive amount of both real and inaccurate information about a problem, making it challenging to identify a solution, they create confusion in the population by spreading erroneous information, misinforming with apparently real data. The amount of time and other essential resources that can be affected by this problem make it a priority to combat (1).
The existence of social networks and the internet is for better or for worse is one of the differentiating factors between this pandemic and the previous ones. From the manipulation of information for ideological purposes or material gain to simple jokes in the form of memes or chains on social networks, this disinformation can have substantial repercussions on the population by generating panic (2). The clickbait nourishes many of these publications to its rapid spread reaching large sectors of the population in a matter of hours. This erroneous information presented by some media or shared on social networks has covered everything related to the virus from where it was generated to how it is spread. For this reason, pages like the World Health Organization have devoted themselves to destroying myths and correcting erroneous information such as those that claim that sunlight, warm weather, and drinking water can affect the coronavirus (3).
An excellent way to avoid this problem and get reliable information is according to Neil Walsh, chief of the Cybercrime and Anti-Money Laundering Section of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), is to visit the pages of official sources and instructed on the subject as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (1).
To combat disinformation, UNESCO provided in its Media and Information Literacy Curriculum for teachers, a series of actions to consider when consuming information (4).
• Verify the veracity of the sources in cases when the information comes from non-formal news media.
• Search for sources within any information we review.
• Know which are the main channels and providers of truthful information.
• Verify the information with other reputable media sources.
• Do not share or promote information without first checking its sources.
It is important to note that the vast majority of fake news generators can make it credible by including fake quotes, images, figures, data, and including the names of public personalities related to the topic3. Critical thinking and analysis are of utmost importance in the face of this problem. The need to compare sources and go to official sources of information is essential to avoid further damage.
Bionatura journal recommends the following information sources that have been proven truthful during the current health crisis in addition to those already mentioned before:
