Australia’s life expectancy has risen to third-highest in the world

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

A child born in Australia today is expected to live until the age of 84.3, giving the nation the third-highest life expectancy in the world behind Monaco and Japan. The increase is due to its early covid-19 containment and high-performing healthcare system.

For more information on pancreatic cancer, please visit https://cle.clinic/3rvBj1a.

Pancreatic cancer accounts for about 3% of all cancers in the United States and about 7% of all cancer deaths. Because it’s hard to detect early, it’s important to recognize any symptoms that occur.
Find out what to look for and when you should talk to your provider with this helpful video from Cleveland Clinic.

Phase 3 clinical trial: Brain cancer vaccine shows promising results

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

A vaccine (DCVax-L), trialed at King’s College Hospital and other centers around the world, using patients’ immune cells to target brain cancer can extend survival by many months or, in some cases, years, the final unblinded results from a phase 3 clinical trial has shown. The final results were published on Thursday, November 17 in JAMA Oncology.

This is the first time in 17 years that such significant outcomes have been achieved in a phase 3 trial for a systemic treatment in newly diagnosed glioblastoma, and the first time in 27 years that any treatment has been shown to extend survival in recurrent glioblastoma.

The vaccine is created for each patient individually by isolating specific immune cells, known as , from their blood. These cells are then primed with biomarkers from a sample of the patient’s tumor. When the vaccine containing the cells is injected back into the patient, it shares that information so that the body’s entire immune system recognizes and attacks the target.

New microscope can take 3D images of cells while working in a natural environment

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

To observe living cells through a microscope, a sample is usually squeezed onto a glass slide. It then lies there calmly and the cells are observable. The disadvantage is that this limits how the cells behave and it only produces two-dimensional images.

Researchers from UiT The Arctic University of Norway and the University Hospital of North Norway (UNN) have now developed what they are referring to as the next generation . The new technology can take pictures of much larger samples than before, while living and working in a more natural environment.

Dogs Cry Tears of Joy: Study

Posted by in category: futurism

Dogs cry tears of joy when reuniting with their owners.


Pet dogs produce a larger volume of tears when they are reunited with their owners than with acquaintances, possibly because of surging oxytocin levels—findings that could be the first evidence of emotional crying in nonhuman animals.

800,000 Neurons in a Dish Learned to Play Pong in Just Five Minutes

Posted by in categories: neuroscience, virtual reality

The stimulations were critical for their learning. Separate experiments with DishBrain without any electrical feedback performed far worse.

Game On

The study is a proof of concept that neurons in a dish can be a sophisticated learning machine, and even exhibit signs of sentience and intelligence, said Kagan. That’s not to say they’re conscious—rather, they have the ability to adapt to a goal when “embodied” into a virtual environment.

How did life begin? Abiogenesis. Origin of life from nonliving matter

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry, evolution, genetics

Sponsored by Kishore Tipirneni’s new book “A New Eden” available here: https://getbook.at/NewEden | Abiogenesis – origin of life. Living matter from non-living matter. The origin of living organisms from inorganic or non-living material is called abiogenesis. But abiogenesis is not evolution.

Despite the incredible variations of life we see today, at the fundamental level, all living things contain three elements: Nucleic acids, Proteins, and lipids. These three things had to have been present in order for life to start.
