Researchers have developed a new memory research breakthrough by genetically modifying the LIMK1 protein and activating it with rapamycin. This innovative approach shows potential in treating memory-related neuropsychiatric diseases and advancing neurology research.Researchers from the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery at the Catholic University, Rome and the Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli IRCCS have developed an engineered protein that boosts memory.Neuroscientists at the Faculty of Medicine and Surgery of…

Researchers have developed a liquid gel that solidifies when injected into a solid tumor, is visible on a CT scan, and can slow-release cancer-fighting treatments. Using the gel in combination with immunotherapy improved survival in mice and affected distant, untreated tumors, suggesting it has potential as a therapy for metastatic cancers.Injecting anti-cancer drugs directly into tumors – intratumoral therapy – is a promising way of treating solid cancers. However, clinical trials have highlighted some drawbacks. One is…

In a trial run by , a Cambridge–based biotech company, researchers discovered that a single infusion of a gene-editing treatment called VERVE-101 was able to reduce cholesterol levels in patients. This treatment was tested in individuals with hereditary conditions that made them susceptible to developing clogged arteries and heart attacks. Scientists were able to use techniques to tweak liver gene cells. The researchers a cholesterol-raising gene called PCSK9, which is found in the liver, in order to lower — sometimes…

In-space propulsion developer Morpheus Space unveiled its first software product today, a mission simulation and design platform called Journey. The product has been under development for almost two years, Morpheus’ product manager Jim Gianakopoulos said in a recent interview (and a recent product walk-through). It was borne out of the typical thruster sales process: customers coming to Morpheus and asking whether the startup’s lineup of electric propulsion systems could meet their mission requirements. But that…

American actor and singer Rachel Zegler is bonding with Jennifer Lawrence over `The Hunger Games`, reported People. Speaking exclusively to People at the London premiere of `The Hunger Games`, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Zegler, 22, opened up about how appearing in the movie spinoff has brought her close to the Academy Award winner, 33. "I had already filmed it when I had met her and we really just were able to bond over the fact that we know so many of the same people," Zegler told People at the BFI IMAX on…

Following recent promising research in animals, the group is planning to conduct small-scale human trials of the drug starting next year. Should everything go well, the treatment could reach the public by the end of the decade.Teyonah Parris and John Boyega on Working With Jamie Foxx | io9 InterviewThe experimental treatment is being developed by scientists at the Medical Research…

Scientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a mosquito suppression system, Ifegenia, which uses CRISPR technology to eliminate female Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, the primary transmitters of malaria in Africa. The system disrupts a gene that controls the mosquitoes’ sexual development, thereby halting the spread of the disease. The researchers are optimistic that this approach, which is safe, controllable, and scalable, can be adapted to suppress other disease-spreading species.As envisioned, this…

Wakanda forever! It looks like the heavily rumored Black Panther game is real. Electronic Arts revealed an all new Seattle-based AAA development studio, Cliffhanger Games, as the developer. Cliffhanger is led by industry veteran Kevin Stephens, former Studio Head of Monolith Productions. Monolith is best known for Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor and its sequel Shadow of War. “We’re dedicated to delivering fans a definitive and authentic Black Panther experience, giving them more agency and control over their…

The use case scenario of artificial intelligence is growing faster than expected. AI is being used in several key industries to make things more efficient and effective. The latest industry to become onboard on AI-based systems is the pharma industry and recently a drug for curing liver disease known as Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF), a disease that causes scarring in the lungs, has been discovered and designed using artificial intelligence has entered into human clinical trials. Clinical trial for INS018_55 has…
