Nearly 30% of assessed speciesface extinction

全球3.8万物种面临灭绝

Nelarly 30% of the 138，374 species assessed by the International Unionfor the Conservation of Nature （IUCN） for its survival watchlist are now atrisk of vanishing[消失] in the wild forever， while 902 have gone extinct， as thedestructive impact of human activity on the natural world deepens. Akey message from the IUCN Congress，taking place in the French city ofMarseille， is that disappearing species and the destruction of ecosystems areno less existential threats than global warming. "These Red List assessmentsdemonstrate just how closely our lives and livelihoods are intertwinedwith biodiversity，" IUCN Director General Bruno Oberle said in a statement.The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is the gold standard for measuringhow close animal and plant species are to dying out.

世界自然保护联盟在其生存观察名单中评估了138374个物种，人类活动对自然界的破坏性影响正在加深，其中近30%的物种面临野外灭绝的风险，902个物种已经确认灭绝。在法国马赛举行的世界自然保护联盟大会传递出一个关键信息：物种消失和生态系统的破坏与全球变暖一样会对人类构成生存威胁。世界自然保护联盟总干事布鲁诺·奥伯勒在一份声明中说：“濒危物种红色名录的评估表明，我们的生活和生计与生物多样性是多么紧密地交织在一起。”世界自然保护联盟濒危物种红色名录被称为衡量动植物物种是否濒临灭绝的“黄金标准”。

3D-printed wagyu beef

日本研制出3D打印“和牛肉”

Scientists based in Japan'sOsaka University have found away to 3D print wagyu beef in alab–a step they believe will oneday help make widely availableand sustainably-produced cuts ofcultured meatthat closelyresemble original products. By isolating beef cells， the scientists organized howthe muscles， blood vessels， and fat should be stacked. The researchersthen shaped these tissues into the form of a steak using a technique called 3Dbioprinting， where cell structures can be layered to resemble real tissues inliving things. The researchers believe that proving that a wagyu steak can beaccurately 3D-printed could be a big step toward a sustainable future wherecultured meat can be created that closely resembles existing products. Its originsfrom real meat also differentiate it from plant-based options， like those createdby Beyond Meat and Impossible Foods.

日本大阪大学的科学家日前在实验室里成功用3D打印出了“和牛肉”，科学家相信这一进展将有助于未来研制出被广泛食用且可持续生产、酷似真肉的人造肉。通过分离牛肉细胞，科学家理清了肌肉、血管和脂肪的分布规律，然后用3D生物打印技术将这些牛肉组织做成一块牛排的形状，通过对细胞结构进行分层使得产品酷似真“和牛肉”。研究人员认为，证实“和牛排”能被3D打印是迈向未来可持续生产类真肉人造肉的重大一步。因为3D打印牛排的源头来自真肉，这也使其有别于Beyond Meat和Impossible Foods等公司生产的人造素食牛肉。
