Breaking link between early, late stages of disease may prevent dementia.
Alzheimer’s disease has plagued one large Colombian family for generations, striking down half of its members in the prime of life. But one member of that family evaded what had seemed would be fate: Despite inheriting the genetic defect that caused her relatives to develop dementia in their 40s, she stayed cognitively healthy into her 70s.
Study Reveals Protective Gene Mutation
Intrigued pedestrians might soon double-take at the sight of robotic couriers whisking packages along Seoul’s sidewalks. The city, long revered for its kinetic energy, vibrant culture, and tech-savvy populace, now heralds a new era where AI companions seamlessly blend into the urban tapestry, all thanks to a trailblazing piece of legislation.
Discussions around Seoul’s pioneering law for robotic couriers often pivot between excitement and apprehension. Will these tireless machines soon buzz through our streets, carrying everything from our latest online splurge to critical medicine, or does their arrival signal a deeper, perhaps more ominous shift in society? Let’s journey into this brave new world where Seoul dares to dream with its eyes wide open.
For most adults, the majority of waking daily life is spent at work. That offers employers an opportunity to influence their employees’ physical, mental, social, and spiritual health.
To support the move to better health, the McKinsey Health Institute (MHI), along with other organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO), are highlighting a more modern way to view health beyond illness and its absence.1 Adding years to life and life to years, McKinsey, March 29, 2022; A 2022 MHI survey on global health perspectives found that more than 40 percent of respondents who reported having a disease still perceived their health as good or very good, while more than 20 percent of those who reported no disease said they were in fair, poor, or very poor health. Embracing the concept of holistic health—an integrated view of an individual’s mental, physical, spiritual, and social functioning2 Previous work from MHI has defined each dimension of health in detail. For more details, see Adding years to life and life to years. Using this definition means that we emphasize “functioning.

The researchers embedded this prototype in a biodegradable, chip-like implant that combined energy harvesting and energy storage. When the prototype was attached to a medical implant, power passed through the circuit directly to the device and into the capacitor to ensure a constant power supply.
In rats, the wireless implant worked for up to 10 days and dissolved completely within two months — proving its biodegradability. But it could potentially last longer if the team thickened the protective polymer and wax layers encasing the system, Lan said.
The researchers also tested the wireless charger as a drug-delivery system and delivered anti-inflammatory medicine to rats with a fever. After 12 hours, the rats that had no implants had much higher body temperatures than those with the chips, suggesting the device was successfully delivering the medicine.
Those who will live 1,000 years have already been born! They will not only live long, but will be healthy and active throughout life! This will already be possible in the transition phase of building the Creative Society!
We will talk about it in a live conversation with British biogerontologist Aubrey de Grey.
In this new episode of Health Navigator, you will find out the answers to these questions:
❓️ How will the future of people change if life expectancy is 1,000 years?
❓️ How can we move from traditional healthcare, which only treats the symptoms of disease, to preventive healthcare?
❓️ Why has Aubrey de Grey chosen preventative healthcare as his area of expertise?
❓️ Why is the Creative Society the type of human interaction that Aubrey de Grey would like to live and work in?
Scientists have established how the activity of our brain during imaginary movement differs from that during real action. It turns out that in both cases, a previous signal occurs in the cerebral cortex, but with an imaginary movement, it does not have a clear link to a specific hemisphere.
The obtained data can potentially be used in medical practice to create neuro trainers and control the restoration of neural networks in post-stroke patients. The results of the study are published in the journal Cerebral Cortex.
Before we pick up a pen or put down a cup, a complete picture of this action is formed in the brain. Such visual–motor transformations ensure the accuracy of our movements. Knowing about these mechanisms helps patients to restore motor activity after strokes. But we don’t always finish the movement we started. In this case, visual information enters the motor areas of the cortex responsible for movement, but the start of the reaction is blocked at some point, and mental effort does not end with real muscle activation.
Primates are among the most intelligent creatures with distinct cognitive abilities. Their brains are relatively large in relation to their body stature and have a complex structure. However, how the brain has developed over the course of evolution and which genes are responsible for the high cognitive abilities is still largely unclear. The better our understanding of the role of genes in brain development, the more likely it will be that we will be able to develop treatments for serious brain diseases.
Researchers are approaching these questions by knocking out or activating individual genes and thus drawing conclusions about their role in brain development. To avoid animal experiments as far as possible, brain organoids are used as an alternative. These three-dimensional cell structures, which are only a few millimeters in size, reflect different stages of brain development and can be genetically modified. However, such modifications are usually very complex, lengthy and costly.
Researchers at the German Primate Center (DPZ)—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research in Göttingen have now succeeded in genetically manipulating brain organoids quickly and effectively. The procedure requires only a few days instead of the usual several months and can be used for organoids of different primate species. The brain organoids thus enable comparative studies of the function of genes at early stages of brain development in primates and help to better understand neurological diseases.
Deep-pocketed investors have adopted a bearish approach towards CRISPR Therapeutics CRSP, and it’s something market players shouldn’t ignore. Our tracking of public options records at Benzinga unveiled this significant move today. The identity of these investors remains unknown, but such a substantial move in CRSP usually suggests something big is about to happen.
We gleaned this information from our observations today when Benzinga’s options scanner highlighted 11 extraordinary options activities for CRISPR Therapeutics. This level of activity is out of the ordinary.
The general mood among these heavyweight investors is divided, with 45% leaning bullish and 54% bearish. Among these notable options, 2 are puts, totaling $98,000, and 9 are calls, amounting to $744,659.
