Most Effective Treatment Yet: New Radioactive Tumor Implant Obliterates Pancreatic Cancer
Posted by Kelvin Dafiaghor in category: biotech/medical
Duke University biomedical engineers have demonstrated the most effective pancreatic cancer treatment yet recorded in mouse models. While most mouse trials consider just stopping growth to be a success, the new treatment fully eliminated tumors in 80% of mice across many model types, including those considered to be the most difficult to treat.
The approach combines traditional chemotherapy drugs with a new method for irradiating the tumor. The treatment implants radioactive iodine-131 directly into the tumor inside a gel-like depot that protects healthy tissue and is absorbed by the body once the radiation fades, as opposed to administering radiation from an external beam that passes through healthy tissue.
The study was recently published in the journal Nature Biomedical Engineering.

Scientists find important causes of gum diseases and tooth decay
Posted by Paul Battista in categories: biotech/medical, education
A recent study from UmeÄ University in Sweden found that hereditary traits and factors such as obesity, education, and personality could play a role in tooth decay and gum disease. Tooth decay and periodontitis, also known as gum disease, are among the most common diseases around the world.

How the Brocaâs Area of the Brain Helps Children Easily Learn Grammar
Posted by Jose Ruben Rodriguez Fuentes in category: neuroscience
Summary: The development of a childâs general and grammatical linguistic abilities between the ages of 3 to 4 is accompanied by the maturation of brain structures within the âlanguage networkâ.

Anyone who has ever learned a foreign language knows how laborious it is to acquire vocabulary and grammar. In contrast, children acquire their first language seemingly effortlessly. By the age of four, many children are already speaking without errors and can draw on a large vocabulary.

Should We Be Genetically Engineering Humans
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: engineering, genetics
Genetically engineering humans is a controversial topic. Some people believe that it is unethical, while others believe that it could be beneficial to humanity. There are pros and cons to both sides of the argument, and it is important to consider all of them before making a decision whether we should be genetically engineering humans or not.

How Features of Our Consciousness Seem to Define Our Laws of Physics and Maths (Stephen Wolfram)
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: computing, mathematics, neuroscience, physics
Our Wolfram Physics Project has provided a surprisingly successful picture of the underlying (deeply computational) structure of our physical universe. Iâll talk here about how our perception of that underlying structure is determined by what seem to be key features of our consciousnessâand how this leads to detailed laws of physics as we experience them. Our Physics Project has led to the concept of the ruliadâthe entangled limit of all possible computationsâwhich seems to represent a common underlying structure from which both physics and mathematics emerge. Iâll talk about the comparison between physical and mathematical observers, and how their common features in consciousness lead to implications for general laws of âbulk mathematicsâ.
