Open House

Have you heard about the crazy guys who bought an entire tower to convert it into a vertical village? Yes, that’s us.

Do you want to walk the 16-floor tower and explore the space? Still on the fence, if you should become a citizen? Do you have questions about how you can get involved and co-create? Wanna hear updates on what happened in the last 2 weeks? This event is for you! 👩‍🚀

About us: We are transforming a 16-floor tower in the heart of San Francisco into a self-governed vertical village —a hub for frontier technologies and creative arts. 8 themed floors will be dedicated to creating tier-one labs, spanning AI, Ethereum, biotech, neuroscience, longevity, robotics, human flourishing, and arts & music. These floors will house innovators and creators pushing the boundaries of human potential in a post-AI-singularity world.

Diver-operated microscope brings hidden coral biology into microscale level focus

The intricate, hidden processes that sustain coral life are being revealed through a new microscope developed by scientists at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

The diver-operated —called the Benthic Underwater Microscope imaging PAM, or BUMP—incorporates pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) light techniques to offer an unprecedented look at coral photosynthesis on micro-scales.

In a new study, researchers describe how the BUMP imaging system makes it possible to study the health and physiology of in their natural habitat, advancing longstanding efforts to uncover precisely why corals bleach.

DNA as a perfect quantum computer based on the quantum physics principles

I believe that dna will be able to answer just about all our genetic coding questions so much that it will lead to even better breakthroughs in the future and use hardly any energy. I believe also that the master algorithm can eventually be derived from DNA as dna seems already a perfect master algorithm for human beings where human beings are the key to all future progress. I say this as quantum computing is still not stable but we already know that dna computers seem already a masterpiece already especially even organoids of the human brain. Really it becomes really quite simple as even the quantum realm is unstable but dna computers that are quantum would stabilize this currently unstable realm.

Disease-Modifying, Neuroprotective Effect of N-Acetyl-l-Leucine in Adult and Pediatric Patients With Niemann-Pick Disease Type C

Background and ObjectivesN-acetyl-l-leucine (NALL) has been established to improve the neurologic manifestations of Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) after 12 weeks in a placebo-controlled trial. In the open-label extension phase (EP) follow-up, data were…

Outcomes in Transplant Recipients With Advanced Cancers Receiving Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors

This systematic review and individual participant data met-analysis assesses the cancer-related and survival outcomes in solid organ transplant recipients with advanced-stage cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Researchers discover link between key protein and brain synapse development

Scientists have uncovered how a protein helps build and maintain vital brain connections, providing insights into the neurological problems experienced by people with a rare form of muscular dystrophy known as dystroglycanopathy.

The research conducted at Oregon Health & Science University and published in Communications Biology reveals that the protein Dystroglycan plays a critical role in forming and maintaining connections between nerve cells in the cerebellum—the part of the brain responsible for movement coordination and motor learning.

In people with dystroglycanopathy, in the protein affect not only muscles but also the brain. The condition is a type of congenital muscular dystrophy, a group of inherited disorders that appear at birth or in early infancy.
