Alberto Angela then talks about dinosaurs together with the young paleontologist Alessandro Chiarenza, to discuss not only the latest discoveries on their fossils but also some surprising details on the appearance of dinosaurs, very different from those seen in the films. Important news for those suffering from genetic diseases such as thalassemia and sickle cell anemia. In a report filmed at the Bambino Gesù Pediatric Hospital in Rome, prof.

We then talk about the promising experimentation on neurotrophins, the molecules discovered over seventy years ago by Nobel Prize winner Rita Levi Montalcini. At the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome, Prof. Antonio Chiaretti has started research that uses neurotrophins to treat brain damage in children who have suffered serious trauma.

The new episode of "Noos - The adventure of knowledge" starts from the Basilica of San Clemente, one of the most evocative and historically rich places in Rome: Alberto Angela descends into the oldest layers of the building, where every historical era has left its mark, to discover the first basilica dating back to the fourth century, and even deeper where archaeologists have discovered a temple dedicated to the god Mithras. A report filmed at the Santa Lucia Irccs Foundation in Rome illustrates new scientific research on Alzheimer's. The cameras of "Noos" also went aboard an offshore patrol boat of the Navy, engaged in the defense of large underwater infrastructures, from internet cables to gas pipelines.

From first aid at the scene of the accident to transport by helicopter to one of the most modern "trauma centers" in Italy, in Cesena, equipped to stabilize the patient's condition within an hour of the accident. The point on the greatest and most dangerous transformation of the world in which we live, now already underway: climate change. What are the scenarios in Italy? And what is being done to adapt to a warmer territory? Then there is talk of a science fiction hypothesis that could soon become reality: the implantation of microchips in the human brain. Could this be a benefit for those suffering from serious disabilities? What are the risks? And again, the Appian Way, the road famous throughout the world for its history and its charm, has just entered the list of sites declared by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
