Scientists have presented the results of a remarkable preclinical study that employs an epigenetic approach instead of traditional gene editing. In this method, DNA sequences are not cut and replaced — instead, scientists merely adjust the activity of specific genes. This treatment has already led to the normalization of cholesterol levels in mice. Epigenetic editing…
In October of this year, the European Space Agency (ESA) plans to launch the Hera probe to thoroughly investigate the Didymos and Dimorphos double asteroid system. This mission will follow up on NASA’s experiment, during which the DART probe collided with Dimorphos in 2022. This collision was intended to test whether Earth could be protected…
The first month of spring will delight fans of science fiction. Perhaps the second part of “Dune” by Denis Villeneuve will appear online, the continuation of the cult animated series of the 90s – “X-Men ’97” is definitely coming, and one of the most anticipated series of the year will be shown – an adaptation…
Temperature is considered the biggest enemy of electronic devices in general, and phones in particular. Regular exposure to sunlight or high temperatures can significantly affect the user experience and, over time, directly impact the durability and lifespan of the internal components. Here are some methods for storing and using your phone during hot summer days….
AstraZeneca has announced a global recall of its COVID-19 vaccine, developed jointly with the University of Oxford, after confirming the potential occurrence of a rare side effect – thrombosis with thrombocytopenia (TTS) – in legal documents. While the mechanism of the disease remains unknown, AstraZeneca acknowledged in its statement that the vaccine may, in rare…
Tested by the YouTube channel ETA PRIME, the ORION1 Pro was paired with the Radeon 7600M XT graphics card. At the core of the ORION1 Pro lies an 8-core, 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS processor with a clock speed of up to 5.1 GHz and integrated Radeon 780M graphics. The maximum DDR5-5600 memory capacity is…
Scientists have presented the results of the first phase of clinical trials involving 14 people with inherited blindness, specifically Leber congenital amaurosis. Significant improvements in vision parameters have been observed with the application of CRISPR gene editing technology. Leber congenital amaurosis is characterized by a mutation in the CEP290 gene, resulting in severe vision loss,…
