Romantic kisses have long been celebrated in songs, poems and stories, commemorated in art and film. Modern scholars therefore concluded that romantic kisses likely originated in India. Across thousands of cuneiform tablets kissing isn’t the most mentioned topic, “but it is attested regularly,” he said. But Arbøll and Rasmussen suspected that romantic kissing became accepted in Bronze Age Europe, and not because of migration alone. Even today, many cultures shun romantic kissing, Arbøll and Rasmussen reported.

Исследователи из Университета Вашингтона в американском Сент-Луисе провели эксперименты над роговицей глаза и пришли к неожиданным выводам. Результаты исследования опубликовал журнал Cell Reports, сообщает РИА Новости. В рамках исследования было проведено несколько экспериментов с роговицей 25 доноров, а также с роговицей лабораторных животных. Все они были подвергнуты воздействию трех вирусов: коронавируса SARS-CoV-2, вируса Зика и вируса простого герпеса HSV-1. Результат экспериментов подтвердил, что вирусы Зика и герпеса способны реплицироваться в роговице, в то время как коронавирус в ней практически не размножается.
