Summary: Designer babies have recently become possible, as new techniques have gained credibility from serious scientists. Here’s how they can do it. [This article first appeared on LongevityFacts. Author: Brady Hartman. ]
On Feb 8, the AHA named “Fixing a gene mutation in human embryos” as among the “top advances in heart disease and stroke research” of the past year. They joined a chorus of voices heralding this as a research breakthrough.
The announcement brought attention to the fact that US scientists have recently demonstrated the plausibility of using gene editing to make designer babies.

CWRU researchers block cancer’s spread to body with novel technique
Posted by Brady Hartman in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension
Summary: In a medical first, scientists at CWRU have inhibited metastasis – the spread of cancer cells to another part of the body. [This article first appeared on LongevityFacts. Author: Brady Hartman. ]
In a first of its kind victory, researchers from the Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) School of Medicine and six other institutions have inhibited the spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another.
To accomplish this feat, the team relied on a novel epigenetic model of how cancer metastasizes. Epigenetics is the master program which turns genes on and off. The group included researchers from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Cleveland Clinic. The researchers published their results in the journal Nature Medicine.

Longevity Olimpic games: Who will be champions in healthspan?
Posted by Edward Futurem in categories: biotech/medical, life extension
Right in moment when Olympic games 2018 had started, founders of DAYS longevity accelerator and one of renowned longevity organizations leader have decided on running a sort of Olimpic games in life science, aiming to identify the world champions in area that really matters for everyone (life extension).
W hat is problem, why so important issue have no visible signs of progress?
If you’re sort of between 40 and older male, 40% of you will never reach the age of 74. Why multiple brilliant inventions of diagnostic and cure technologies have no financing and adoption in clinics?

Picture of Single Trapped Atom Wins UK Science Photography Prize
Posted by Shane Hinshaw in categories: engineering, particle physics, science
Zoom in close on the center of the picture above, and you can spot something you perhaps never thought you’d be able to see: a single atom. Here is a close-up if, you’re having trouble:
This strontium atom is emitting light after being excited by a laser, and it’s the winner of the UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) photography award. The EPSRC announced the winners of its fifth annual contest yesterday. Winning photographer David Nadlinger, graduate student at the University of Oxford, was just excited to be able to show off his research.
“It’s exciting to find a picture that resonates with other people that shows what I spend my days and nights working on,” Nadlinger told me. The best part, to him, was “the opportunity to excite people about my research, more than winning a competition.”
