The Cold Moon, named for the frigid temperatures of December in the Northern Hemisphere, is also known as the Long Nights Moon, a nod to the extended hours of darkness this time of year.

It’s also called the Moon Before Yule, which refers to ancient Pagan winter solstice celebrations. The Celts also called it the Oak Moon. Native American names for December’s full moon include the Drift Clearing Moon and the Winter Maker Moon.

The next full moon, the Wolf Moon, will rise on Jan. 13, 2025.

“The future of medicine is the medicine of frequencies.” – Albert Einstein.

Imagine a future where cancerous tumors inside the body could be destroyed using only sound waves. Well… the future is now. And it’s called histotripsy.

Histotripsy is a non-invasive process that uses sound waves to completely eliminate cancer tumors. Like radiation therapy, doctors point an ultrasound device at your tumor and “zap it.” But unlike radiotherapy, there is no cancer-causing radiation or heat involved, tumors can be destroyed in one treatment, there is minimal damage to surrounding tissue, a low rate of complications, faster recovery time, and it has been shown to activate immune cells to identify and target any remaining cancer cells in the body.

IVF technology matures eggs in a culture of iPSC (induced stem cell)-derived ovarian cells.

A baby was born in their trial, marking “first ever human birth using using iPSC technology” company claims.

Gameto useds iPSCs, or induced pluripotent stem cells. Same as embryonic stem cell, except made by inducing (forcing) a skin cell or white blood from a donor cell to become a stem cell using a protein cocktail. Dont need embryo to start.

This is also the first demonstration of an end-to-end process by which a therapy developed from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) has the potential to improve IVF outcomes and advance women’s health. Co-culturing immature eggs with Gameto’s proprietary OSCs has shown promising results to date, with the potential for higher rates of egg maturation and embryo formation.

A China-based firm has launched a novel energy storage device that tackles the 18650-battery power challenge. Introduced by Ampace, the latest JP30 cylindrical lithium battery is claimed to be capable of delivering breakthrough performance in a compact form.

Themed “Working Non-stop, compact and more powerful”, the new battery is the latest addition to the JP series.

Despite having a compact and sleek design in appearance, the battery offers ultra-high power performance.

Oral immunotherapy shrinks gastrointestinal tumors in mouse study.

Immunotherapy is a promising treatment that recruits the immune system to help fight cancer, but it has had limited success in gastrointestinal cancers. Now, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have engineered a probiotic that delivers immunotherapy directly to the gut to shrink tumors in mice, offering a potentially promising oral drug for hard-to-reach cancers.

The probiotic cancer treatment, described Nov. 20 in the journal Cell Chemical Biology, establishes a customizable drug delivery system that can be modified to potentially treat other gut diseases.
