How scientists made this rat the oldest living lab rat — E5 rejuvenation?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension, neuroscience

Talking about E5.


Rats are also useful for aging research and for cooking ratatouille. But in all seriousness, take a look at this recent headline article — “We have the oldest living female Sprague Dawley rat,” said Dr Harold Katcher, a former biology professor at the University of Maryland, now chief scientific officer at Yuvan Research, a California-based startup.

1923 cartoon eerily predicted 2023’s AI art generators

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

In 1923, an editorial cartoonist named H.T. Webster drew a humorous cartoon for the New York World newspaper depicting a fictional 2023 machine that would generate ideas and draw them as cartoons automatically. It presaged recent advancements in AI image synthesis, one century later, that actually can create artwork automatically.

Interestingly, this separation of labor feels similar to our neural networks of today. In the actual 2023, the “idea dynamo” would likely be a large language model like GPT-3 (albeit imperfectly), and the “cartoon dynamo” is most similar to an image-synthesis model like Stable Diffusion.

U.S. involved in multi-country Shigella outbreak

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

A dozen countries, including the United States, have reported more than 250 Shigella infections in people who went to Cape Verde.

An increase in shigellosis cases, mainly caused by Shigella sonnei, among travelers returning from Cape Verde, also known as Cabo Verde, has been reported in Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States since September 2022.

Twelve countries have recorded 221 confirmed Shigella sonnei infections and 37 possible cases, all with a link to Cape Verde, which is in West Africa. The UK has the most cases with 95, followed by the Netherlands with 47, Sweden with 42, and France with 31. The United States has four patients.

How Your Thoughts Change Your Brain, Cells, and Genes

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, neuroscience

Every minute of every day, your body is physically reacting, literally changing, in response to the thoughts that run through your mind.

It’s been proven over and over again that just thinking about something causes your brain to release neurotransmitters, chemical messengers that allow it to communicate with parts of itself and your nervous system. Neurotransmitters control virtually all of your body’s functions, from hormones to digestion to feeling happy, sad, or stressed.

Studies have shown that thoughts alone can improve vision, fitness, and strength. The placebo effect, as observed with fake operations and sham drugs, for example, works because of the power of thought. Expectancies and learned associations have been shown to change brain chemistry and circuitry which results in real physiological and cognitive outcomes, such as less fatigue, lower immune system reaction, elevated hormone levels, and reduced anxiety.

The Mediterranean Plains Where Neanderthals and Modern Humans Came Together

Posted by in category: futurism

Archeological evidence in the Lavant region of the Middle East points to a past where Neanderthals and Homo sapiens co-existed, and likely interbred early in our origin story.

James Webb Space Telescope images shatter understanding of age of the universe

Posted by in category: space

The James Webb Space Telescope found six massive galaxies that some scientists never thought could exist. The telescope is so powerful it might have just shattered scientific understanding of the universe. Theoretical Physicist and best selling author Dr. Michio Kaku talked to Gadi Schwartz about the groundbreaking report.

An entry-level Tesla now costs less than the average new car

Posted by in categories: sustainability, transportation

After the automaker started slashing prices on its vehicles earlier this year, making them more affordable than some new gas-powered cars.

The Tesla Model 3 now starts at $43,000, not including the $7,500 tax credit Americans can get for buying an electric vehicle. That brings the after-rebate price of a Model 3 down to $35,500.

-plus other companies are lowering prices because of Tesla.
