I know everything I am looking for is here, watch movies, watch series, education, games, exams, news, current events and many more.
“#Chinese scientists develop gene therapy which could delay aging” BEIJING – Scientists in Beijing have developed a new gene therapy which can reverse some of the effects of aging in mice and extend their lifespans, findings which may one day contribute to similar treatment for humans. The method, detailed in a paper in the Science…
“#Identical twins aren’t perfect clones, research shows” WASHINGTON — If you’re an identical twin who’s always resisted being called a clone of your sibling, scientists say you have a point. Identical twins are not exactly genetically the same, new research shows. Scientists in Iceland sequenced DNA from 387 pairs of identical twins — those derived…
“#You are more closely related to comb jellies than sponges, new study claims” The theory of evolution shows that all life stems from a single root and that we are related, more or less distantly, to every other living thing on Earth. Our closest ancestors, as Charles Darwin recognized, are to be found among the…
“#How NYC’s DNA database helps solve crime — and prevent it” In October, the City Council introduced a bill to limit the NYPD’s collection of DNA samples. Co-sponsors Diana Ayala and Donovan Richards seek to prevent gathering samples from minors without their knowledge or parental consent. But if anything, new research suggests we should not…
“#How gene editing could protect us from future pandemics” Hollywood’s blockbusters such as X-men, Gattaca, and Jurassic World have explored the intriguing concept of “germline genome editing” – a biomolecular technique that can alter the DNA of sperm, eggs, or embryos. If you remove a gene that causes a certain disease in an embryo, not…
“#Michigan woman charged in 2003 murders of twin newborn sons” A Michigan woman has been charged with murdering her twin newborn sons — a crime that occurred 17 years ago — thanks to modern DNA testing, authorities said Saturday. Antoinette Briley, 41, was arrested in Oak Lawn, Ill., on Friday, and charged with two counts…
“#Here’s what was just discovered on Leonardo da Vinci’s artwork” When it comes to Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings, there’s more than meets the eye. The famed Mona Lisa artist’s works are teeming with an array of microbes that researchers say provide an invisible glimpse into the past. A team of experts recently analyzed seven different…
“#Makers of grow-your-own human steaks say meal kit is not ‘technically’ cannibalism” The saying “You are what you eat” may soon become a lot more literal. A “DIY meal kit” for growing steaks made from human cells was recently nominated for “design of the year” by the London-based Design Museum. Named the Ouroboros Steak after…
“#NASA sending human remains to the moon summer 2021” People’s cremated ashes are to be sent to the Moon next year as part of a commercial burial service piggybacking on a NASA lunar mission. Texas space memorial firm Celestis will provide more than a dozen capsules carrying human remains and DNA for the flight. Dubbed…
“#CRISPR gene-editing mistake results in over a dozen mutant embryos” Scientists using a controversial gene-editing device unwittingly created more than a dozen mutant human embryos, according to a new study. In an effort to repair a gene that causes blindness, researchers using a CRISPR DNA-cutting machine accidentally got rid of entire chromosomes, or large chunks…
