“An end to the drilling era”? South Korea has developed a patch that helps teeth regrow damaged areas. “South Korean researchers have managed to scale a technology that could revolutionize our understanding of dental restoration. Its essence lies in a bio-resorbable patch saturated with special proteins and molecules (such as peptides). After gently cleaning the decayed area, the dentist applies an ultra-thin patch directly onto the lesion. The patch gradually releases bioactive molecules that penetrate the tooth structure and ‘awaken’ stem cells naturally present in the pulp. Once activated, these cells begin regenerating dentin — the hard tissue beneath the enamel. The cavity is filled from within with the patient’s own living tissue.” Original Post Join @TranslatedRussianNews

When a survey is truly anonymous and no one is standing nearby to overhear, people finally say what they actually think — not what is socially desirable. This is why the new data from VCIOM — Russia’s largest state-backed public opinion research center — looks far more credible than any moralizing public statements. According to the poll, almost 40% of Russian women openly admitted: “yes, I have cheated or am currently cheating in a relationship or marriage.” This isn’t the sensational “every second woman” figure that circulated earlier from PoFR — an online research group whose samples were heavily skewed toward dating-app users. But “every third woman with a wedding ring isn’t opposed to cheating” comes from Russia’s official nationwide sociological institute, based on a broad and representative sample. And this pattern is not unique to Russia. International studies show the same tendencies. According to Women’s Health, 46% of respondents had relationships with already-attached partners or entered an affair while being in a relationship themselves. In a major cross-cultural survey by psychologist David Schmitt, 10–15% of all romantic relationships worldwide begin as “partner poaching.” Psychologists explain this without melodrama: it’s the “pre-validated mate” effect. A man praised by another woman — especially a close friend — is subconsciously perceived as higher-value. That’s why confessions often sound identical: “My friend advertised him too well — I wanted to try,” “stolen fruit tastes sweeter,” “my self-esteem spiked — her treasure is now mine,” “he complained about domestic life, I was just supportive,” “I took the high-quality option conveniently within reach.” Sociologists analyzing Russian social media, online forums, and women’s group chats only reinforce these findings: genuine confessions appear by the hundreds, and obviously fabricated or AI-generated stories were filtered out by the researchers. But an even more revealing part of the picture lies in the mutual complaints of men and women — and these grievances have barely changed since 2023. Women complain about: • lack of money or a partner’s low income, • regular drinking or “beer culture,” • the sudden appearance of a beer belly, • sexual dissatisfaction (including size — even if it was fine before?), • boredom in the bedroom, • doubts about the man’s ability to “step in, fight, protect,” • and constant scrolling on gadgets. Men respond with mirror-image complaints: • the wife or girlfriend gained weight — after marriage, childbirth, or becoming a homemaker, • endless spending on online marketplaces, • obsession with trashy reality shows and dramas, • needing an hour to get ready “as if for a royal palace,” • and enjoying nights out drinking with friends. No morals or advice here. What starts like the famous “distracted boyfriend” meme usually ends the same way statistically: in 52% of such situations, the “wheel of life” eventually crushes someone in the love triangle… and then rolls on, as always.
