The experiments use human cells to imitate the blastocyst phase — offering a crucial window into human development.

Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel plans to reject life-extending medical care at the age of 75. The reason he does this is quite similar to why the Kaelons commit ritual suicide in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Does this make sense?
In this thought-provoking episode of Lifespan News, host Ryan O’Shea delves deep into the controversial topic of choosing when to die and the ethics surrounding medical interventions to prolong life. Using the lens of a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode and drawing parallels with Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel’s The Atlantic article, “Why I Hope to Die at 75″, Ryan confronts the moral and societal implications of setting an arbitrary age to stop seeking medical treatment. With advancements in rejuvenation biotechnologies, is it reasonable to maintain such views? As we push the boundaries of science and healthcare, when should we draw the line? Join Ryan as he navigates these complex questions, and remember to share your thoughts in the comments below. Don’t forget to subscribe for more!
The FDA on Friday approved Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’ Veopoz (pozelimab-bbfg), the first and only treatment indicated specifically for CHAPLE disease, also known as CD55-deficient protein-losing enteropathy, according to the company.
A fully human monoclonal antibody, Veopoz is approved for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 1 year of age and older with CHAPLE, an ultra-rare hereditary disease that can cause potentially life-threatening gastrointestinal and cardiovascular symptoms.
- CHAPLE—which stands for complement hyperactivation, angiopathic thrombosis, and protein-losing enteropathy—is an inherited immune disease that causes the complement system (the part of your immune system that defends the body against injury and foreign invaders like bacteria and viruses) to become overactive.-FDA.
The regulator’s greenlight on Friday for Regeneron Pharmaceuticals’ monoclonal antibody Veopoz (pozelimab-bbfg) makes it the first and only treatment indicated for children and adults with CHAPLE disease.
It hasn’t all been good though. We are incredibly dependent on our devices — smartphone addiction is a growing concern. A staggering 81 percent of Americans own smartphones. This is a huge increase from the Pew Research Center’s first survey of smartphone ownership conducted in 2011 when just 35 percent owned them.
Such process is paving the path toward civilian space development and astropolitical uses of space as well, and is creating a growing interdependent relationship between life on and beyond Earth. 2015 can now be identified as a “turning point” in history, signifying a change of paradigm, from “traditional” aerospace to a “new space” age.
As soon as the U.N. 2030 Agenda [1] was published, some relevant criticalities appeared. The general criteria supporting the concept of sustainability developed by the agenda is an unquestioned limitation to the boundary of Earth’s atmosphere. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, was conceptualized during the traditional aerospace age: outer space was not considered, as a dimension that helps to increase the sustainability of development. Space science and technologies are supporting social and environmental goals on Earth, for many years. Yet that will not be enough, to warrant a really sustainable development. To allow a real sustainable development, it is indispensable and urgent to start civilian space development, outside Earth boundaries. Therefore the UN 2030 Agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals needs to be updated.
Dr. Michio Kaku, the renowned theoretical physicist, walks us through the evolutionary journey of computing, from analog to digital to the quantum era.
Quantum computers hold immense promise because of their ability to tap into the weirdness of quantum mechanics. If nature allows us full access to its secrets, we could boost computing power exponentially, which in turn would allow us to solve all types of complex problems.
Contact Lens Health Week will be observed Aug. 21–25, which makes this a good time to learn more about contact lenses and whether they might be right for you.
Eyeglasses can be fun and fashionable. And they’re a safe and effective way to provide vision correction for most people. Contact lenses also can provide a safe and effective way to correct your vision, and more than 45 million people in the U.S. wear contact lenses, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
If you’re considering switching to contact lenses, here are some things you should consider.
Elon Musk on Friday announced plans to remove the block feature on X, the microblogging social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
It’s a move many users are decrying as a step toward openly allowing harassment on the platform, and if he goes through with it, the change would appear to violate the rules of both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
And it wouldn’t be the first time the billionaire has gotten what he wanted despite existing rules on the App Store.
A space engineer has created her own mobile using a rotary dial. Justine Haupt invented the phone to stop herself being “hyper-connected” with people.
The 34-year-old wanted a mobile with one basic purpose — to make and receive calls. Although using an old rotary dial the phone does have some modern features.-The Mirror UK
