Rewriting Life US scientist who edited human embryos with CRISPR responds to critics Can we safely fix the DNA of human embryos in a lab dish? by Antonio Regalado 2018-08-08T13:00:00-04:00
Rewriting Life Data-mining medieval text reveals medically bioactive ingredients Medieval apothecaries used recipes with significant antibacterial properties, researchers say. by Emerging Technology from the arXiv 2018-08-01T11:40:00-04:00
Rewriting Life Million-person genetic study finds gene patterns linked to how long people stay in school Researchers explore genetic “scores” that may predict educational success. by Antonio Regalado 2018-07-23T11:00:00-04:00
Rewriting Life One woman’s race to defuse the genetic time bomb in her genes How DNA sequencing and new genetic drugs raise the chance we can cure any inherited disease. by Antonio Regalado 2018-07-23T07:00:00-04:00
Rewriting Life Nerves repaired using bioscaffold fitted with “radio” antenna Electrical signals generated outside the body by transcranial stimulation have helped repair severed sciatic nerves in rates, says researchers by Emerging Technology from the arXiv 2018-07-23T00:05:00-04:00
Rewriting Life Don’t hold your breath for allergy-free cats Gene-editing technology is eyed as the next step in the quest to create cats that don’t make you sneeze. by Kate Sheridan 2018-07-19T05:00:00-04:00
Rewriting Life A better way to measure magnetic fields could make fetal heart problems easier to detect Nobody had been able to build a practical device that worked at room temperature–until now. by Emerging Technology from the arXiv 2018-07-10T18:00:00-04:00
Rewriting Life First evidence that amino acids formed soon after the Big Bang A new measurement of chemical evolution suggests that amino acids filled the early universe some nine billion years before life emerged. That has important implications for understanding the origin of life and attempting to re-create it in the lab. by Emerging Technology from the arXiv 2018-07-09T07:00:00-04:00
Rewriting Life Algorithm matches human cardiologists in detecting heart attacks Medical data tends to be messy and hard to annotate, which makes it hard for neural networks to learn from. But machine learning is beginning to make progress. by Emerging Technology from the arXiv 2018-07-02T10:00:00-04:00
