SCIENTISTS LAUNCH WILD NEW PROJECT TO BUILD A HUMAN GENOME FROM
SCRATCH (4 MINUTE READ) [7]
The Synthetic Human Genome Project aims to write artificial human DNA
from scratch - the scientists behind the project are hoping that it
will answer fundamental questions about the human genome and transform
our understanding of health and disease. The technology could be used
to create new medical treatments like designer cell-based therapies
and virus-resistant tissue transplantation. The research team hopes to
be able to create the foundational tools, technologies, and methods to
allow researchers to create genomes from scratch over the next
half-decade. The project runs along a parallel research effort into
the social and ethical issues of creating human genomes in a lab.
7 PEOPLE NOW HAVE ELON MUSK'S NEURALINK BRAIN IMPLANT (6 MINUTE READ) [8]
Neuralink has increased the number of patients with its N1 brain
implant to seven. The implant allows those with cervical spinal cord
injuries or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to control a computer
with their thoughts. Six of the seven are participating in a study
aimed at proving that the N1 implant, R1 surgical robot, and N1 User
App are safe and effective. The implant has enabled some of the
patients to work to help provide for themselves and their families
financially.
