Artificial wombs: The coming era of motherless births?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, innovation

S cientifically, it’s called ectogenesis, a term coined by J.B.S. Haldane in 1924. A hugely influential science popularizer, Haldane did for his generation what Carl Sagan did later in the century. He got people thinking and talking about the implications of science and technology on our civilization, and did not shy away from inventing new words in order to do so. Describing ectogenesis as pregnancy occurring in an artificial environment, from fertilization to birth, Haldane predicted that by 2074 this would account for more than 70 percent of human births.

His prediction may yet be on target.

In discussing the idea in his work Daedalus –a reference to the inventor in Greek mythology who, through his inventions, strived to bring humans to the level of the gods–Haldane was diving into issues of his time, namely eugenics and the first widespread debates over contraception and population control.

Visualizing the World in 2090

Posted by in categories: innovation, transportation

In some ways, the world in 2090 may resemble the world we live in today. Yet, two key areas will almost certainly change: the natural world and technology. Will our thirst for consumption ultimately deplete the world’s most critical natural resources? Or will technology help us persevere? And how will innovation change the way we move, work, and explore? Today, we’ll take a deep dive into these captivating questions.

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, innovation

University of Southern California and the Cleveland Clinic Florida Research and Innovation Center researchers have published new research on GRP78, a protein implicated in both COVID-19.

First identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China, COVID-19, or Coronavirus disease 2019, (which was originally called “2019 novel coronavirus” or 2019-nCoV) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It has spread globally, resulting in the 2019–22 coronavirus pandemic.

World-first: Drug molecules in the human body can now be manipulated

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, innovation

The innovation was inspired by the measles virus.

In a world-first, researchers at Tel Aviv University have conceived of a way to control the encapsulation and release of drug molecules by exposure to UV light, according to a press release by the institution published on Monday.

The scientists now hope that this new efficient encapsulation will allow for the high loading capacity of molecules leading to further development of delivery systems for the controlled release of biomolecules and drugs in the body by external stimuli using light.
