At the age of 14, I was diagnosed with a stage 4 hypermutated glioblastoma and a clinical trial saved my life. Now I’m 18 and cancer-free.
“I was amazed. Although they resemble rings in the image, the true 3D geometry of those semi-circular features is better described as a shell”
In a fresh image released by the Webb Telescope team on October 12, one can see 17 strangely perfect light rings around star binary WR 140 emanating into the darkness of deep space.
Genflow has announced that its adeno-associated virus (AAV) research and development programme in Estonia has received a non-dilutive grant award of €250,000 from the Applied Research Programme of Enterprise Estonia, an Estonian governmental institution designed to stimulate business growth in the country.
Longevity. Technology: Genflow’s research programme is focused on the development of an antiaging gene therapy platform designed to target nearly 100 million patients worldwide who suffer from Werner’s syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, an advanced form of NAFLD, as well as other major clinical disorders.
This R&D is a collaborative project between Genflow and IVEX lab OÜ, an Estonian company specialising in the research and development of biotech therapeutics.
Scientists have transplanted human brain cells into the brains of baby rats, where the cells grew and formed connections.
It’s part of an effort to better study human brain development and diseases affecting this most complex of organs, which makes us who we are but has long been shrouded in mystery.
“Many disorders such as autism and schizophrenia are likely uniquely human” but “the human brain certainly has not been very accessible,” said said Dr. Sergiu Pasca, senior author of a study describing the work, published Wednesday in the journal Nature.
Experimental technology used to cool equipment in space might soon be able to cut the charging times of electric vehicles to five minutes or less, American space agency NASA said this week.
The federal space agency-funded technology, in partnership with Purdue University, says the research they’re planning for future space missions shows its tech could charge an electric car within minutes instead of hours, according to an Oct. 5 blog by NASA.
Using a technique known as “subcooled flow boiling,” the tech could boost the amount of electrical current EV chargers by roughly 1,400 amps, nearly five times the rate of up to 520 amps currently supplied to EVs, NASA said.
Summary: A new artificial intelligence model automatically learns higher-level language patterns that can apply to different languages, enabling it to achieve better results.

Human languages are notoriously complex, and linguists have long thought it would be impossible to teach a machine how to analyze speech sounds and word structures in the way humans do.
Far-thinking billionaires are funding innovative research aimed at discovering methods to slow and reverse pathological aging processes. The objective is to accelerate scientific advances that will enable humans to enjoy longer and healthier life spans.

A time travel enthusiast may just have found a way to create a time machine, but passengers that go inside it face a dark fate. The idea of a time machine was discussed on the Time Travel Facebook page, which boats a healthy 32.5k members. In the social media group, many ideas are discussed surrounding time travel, with many of them being outlandish and instantly dismissed.
Rat–human hybrid brains offer new ways to study human neuro disorders, but also raise ethical questions.
The new world-first NHS service should lead to earlier diagnosis and treatment for thousands.
