Human DNA contains tremendously complex codes and is one of the greatest mysteries faced by modern science. So what is DNA, and how is it possible that this minuscule fragment contains such a gigantic amount of information? Consider the following quotes that give a description of a small thing only two-millionths of a millimeter thick. ...
A team of scientists from the U.S. has succeeded in genetically editing the immune cells of cancer patients through CRISPR. The results of the experiments were published in the journal Science, and provide hope that the technique might one day be used in patients to effectively treat cancer. Editing cancer cells “Researchers at the University ...
The world is rapidly moving toward a major shift, a change that will introduce new technologies and new leaders, such as China, into the field of technology. These changes pose huge ethical dilemmas for mankind. Rise of China The world is witnessing a major conflict in the fight for technological supremacy between the U.S. and ...
When Chinese scientist He Jiankui declared in November that he had created genetically modified babies using CRISPR technology, the scientific community was horrified. Human gene editing is something that most countries have put strict restrictions on because of the various moral and medical implications surrounding the issue. And although the U.S. also has laws against ...
Artificial Intelligence and gene editing are two of the most rapidly growing technologies in the world because of their amazing potential to transform humanity. However, combining AI with gene editing not only offers the potential of an incredible future where every human being is “perfect,” but also raises some serious ethical questions that are tough ...
In what could prove to be a breakthrough in the treatment of brain cancer, a group of scientists has discovered that the gene-editing software CRISPR enabled them to shut down brain cancer’s immortality switch. Cancer’s immortality switch The research team, led by the neurosurgery expert Joseph Costello, studied glioblastoma brain cancer cells extracted from cancer ...
