Season 3

The program dedicated to popularization that opens the doors of the future with the latest discoveries from the world of science is back. A story of what is happening in the fields of medicine, genetics, - neuroscience, biology, archaeology, technology and the environment. All explained by Alberto Angela in the studio with new guests and new services.

About six hundred meters from the walls of the ancient city of Pompeii, in what was once its countryside, archaeologists are working on the remains of a large villa in the archaeological site of Civita Giuliana. "Noos" illustrates one of the most important excavations of recent years and not yet open to the public where unique finds in the world have been discovered. The cover of the episode is dedicated to aesthetic medicine and plastic surgery, a much-discussed and very current topic. Doctor Emanuele Bartoletti of the Isola Tiberina - Gemelli Isola Hospital in Rome and President of the Italian Society of Aesthetic Medicine, and psychoanalyst and writer Massimo Recalcati, who also talks about the fragilities that hide behind the obsession with physical fitness, talk about it. A large page is dedicated to Artificial Intelligence and its applications, especially in the medical field, which offer doctors new diagnostic possibilities for identifying tumors in the early stages.

The relationship between pets and humans is the cover theme of the new episode of "Noos - The Adventure of Knowledge". What are the behaviors and characteristics of animals, and what emotions do they share with humans? Elisabetta Palagi, Primatologist and Ethologist at the University of Pisa, will explore the themes of empathy between animals and humans, play, and the social dynamics that characterize them. To what levels of empathy can the bond between sapiens and animals reach? Are there stages or behaviors that allow us to understand the strength of the bond with our pets? "Noos - The Adventure of Knowledge" will be shown at the Applied Ethology Laboratory at the University of Padua, one of the few centers in Italy entirely dedicated to the study of dogs, where Lieta Marinelli and Paolo Mongillo study dogs' cognitive abilities.

This episode of "Noos - The Adventure of Knowledge" focuses on a major medical breakthrough that is increasing the life expectancy of many children: CAR-T therapy, a new treatment that is defeating neuroblastoma, one of the most common childhood cancers. Alberto Angela discusses this with Professor Franco Locatelli, director of the Center for Oncohematological Studies at the Bambino Gesù Hospital in Rome, who spearheaded the development of this therapy in Italy and is a pioneer in neuroblastoma research. We'll also hear the recovery story of Matteo, a child treated with CAR-T therapy at the Bambino Gesù Hospital in Rome, to understand the mechanisms that characterize it, making it a crucial resource in the fight against childhood cancers. The cover of this new episode is dedicated to food. People's primary concern is understanding what is truly safe to eat and what risks being harmful. What are the real risks?
