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 […]
“Cultivarium builds tools to grow, transform, and engineer “extraordinary” microbes: the salt lovers, heat tolerators, and geyser growers that have long been inaccessible to scientists. Studying such organisms might lead to better gene-editing tools or medicines. And regardless of whether […]
I had read bits and pieces of this before, and it’s quite interesting. This is a thorough recap of the investigation into the hypothesis that lithium contamination is a major driver of obesity. “All this seems like pretty strong evidence […]
“With an electrical component about 60 times greater and an electromagnetic energy field 5000 times greater than the brain’s, the heart has a significant influence on the body down to the cellular level.” This article is pretty fringe, with its […]
“Asceneuron’s lead drug candidate ASN51 is a small molecule designed to block OGA, an enzyme that plays a role in protein aggregation. By preventing tau aggregation, the drug is intended to slow Alzheimer’s progression. In Phase 1 tests in healthy […]
