There’s a study launching soon with consumer gut health brand Pendulum that’ll be among the first to capture time-series microbiome data. “With continuous data collection and insights into shifts in microbiome composition, the GutLab™ system has the potential to do […]
It’s the little things. “The new system does not depend absolutely on the underlying topography, and is applicable to QR codes that can be found on tubular surfaces (bottles), food trays, etc.” ~ learn more
“A 25-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes started producing her own insulin less than three months after receiving a transplant of reprogrammed stem cells1. She is the first person with the disease to be treated using cells that were extracted […]
“A researcher in virology and immunotherapy got bad news: Her cancer was back with a vengeance; the treatments weren’t working. It was growing and spreading. Traditional options wouldn’t work for her. … She prepared a couple of viruses that she […]
“When bacteria infect a host, they don’t attack right away. They use their communication and counting abilities and wait until they are abundant enough to launch an attack that’s likely to succeed.” They practice ‘quorum sensing’ and therefore it’s possible […]
Peter Attia reviews a newly published paper and he doesn’t hate it. “A proteomics model may provide an alternative method for estimating risk of mortality and chronic disease.” ~ learn more
“One approach to that problem is to identify contradictions between published scientific papers, which can point the way to new discoveries. In our paper, we describe how ContraCrow, an agent built on top of PaperQA2, can evaluate every claim in […]
“Injecting regulatory T cells or Tregs, which control the body’s immune responses, directly into damaged bone, muscle and skin significantly boosts healing, according to new research. The door is now open to developing a universal cell-based method of enhancing healing […]
This covers gene drives and daisy chain drives, which are pretty new territory for me. “We now have the power to genetically modify entire species by inserting certain genes into them with brute force. Doing this to malaria-carrying mosquitoes could […]
“Our new electrodes achieved up to 90% utilization of the active capture material, significantly outperforming previous carbon-based electrodes.” ~ learn more
