“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
This sounds like science fiction, but I think it’s not. “In an effort to enhance the research abilities of biologists, Stanford University researchers have discovered that applying a popular food coloring to the skin of mice allowed them to see […]
“Once again, human gut microbiota are being linked to the progression of a chronic ailment. Using artificial intelligence (AI), researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner Research Institute found that “metabolites produced by bacteria in the gut” may influence the course […]
“A new Stanford Medicine study shows that many of our molecules and microorganisms dramatically rise and fall in number during our 40s and 60s.” ~ learn more
“Sodium solid-state batteries are usually seen as a far-off-in-the-future technology, but we hope that this paper can invigorate more push into the sodium area by demonstrating that it can indeed work well, even better than the lithium version in some […]
