Merck’s Ervebo is the World’s First Approved Ebola Vaccine

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, innovation

Year 2019 😗😁


The European Commission approved the world’s first Ebola vaccine. The vaccine is manufactured by Merck and has a trade name of Ervebo.

“The European Commission’s marketing authorization of Ervebo is the result of an unprecedented collaboration for which the entire world should be proud,” said Kenneth C. Frazier, Merck’s chairman and chief executive officer. “It is a historic milestone and a testament to the power of science, innovation and public-private partnership.”

FDA Grants Accelerated Approval for Alzheimer’s Disease Treatment

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, food, neuroscience

In January 6 2023, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approved Leqembi (lecanemab-irmb) via the Accelerated Approval pathway for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Leqembi is the second of a new category of medications approved for Alzheimer’s disease that target the fundamental pathophysiology of the disease. These medications represent an important advancement in the ongoing fight to effectively treat Alzheimer’s disease.

Recently it has been granted full approval. Leqembi, developed jointly by Japan’s Eisai and Biogen of the United States, was shown in a clinical trial to modestly reduce cognitive decline among patients in the early stages of the disease.

But the study also raised concerns about side effects including brain bleeds and swelling.

Electromagnetic and Informational Weapons: The Remote Manipulation of the Human Brain

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, business, military, nanotechnology, robotics/AI

An older research article and I really hope I didn’t already post this, but isn’t this scary? Nevermind AI or nano, but the fact you don’t need that to mess with your mind? Oh and I’ve searched google and there’s nanoparticles in meds, including psych meds. EMF could potentially mess with that or the minerals in your body but I’m not an expert. But we do have iron in our blood. I read that EMF can affect the blood brain barrier as well. I know there’s issues with people saying they’re targeted individuals, but with instructions online on how to make a microwave gun, especially on youtube, and there’s a Wired Magazine article about a court case where a judge ordered a man to stop EMF targeting a former business partner over an argument over a business deal. Yup, the 21st centure is bringing more than guns and knives and fists into the foray.


From our archives. This important article first published by GR in August 2004 brings to the forefront the role of Psychotronic weapons as an instrument of modern warfare.

AI could improve assessments of childhood creativity

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, education, policy, robotics/AI

A new study from the University of Georgia aims to improve how we evaluate children’s creativity through human ratings and through artificial intelligence.

A team from the Mary Frances Early College of Education is developing an AI system that can more accurately rate open-ended responses on assessments for elementary-aged students.

“In the same way that hospital systems need good data on their patients, educational systems need really good data on their students in order to make effective choices,” said study author and associate professor of educational psychology Denis Dumas. “Creativity assessments have policy and curricular relevance, and without assessment data, we can’t fully support creativity in schools.”

Doctor Who Gets One Piece Of Time Travel Exactly Right According To Scientists

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, time travel

Astrophysicist Geraint Lewis of the University of Sydney in Australia recently authored a study about time dilation and said that Doctor Who’s description of time travel is accurate, as we truly don’t yet understand the limitations of time (via Reuters).

Sci-fi shows like Doctor Who can usually rely on the audience’s suspension of disbelief when diving into heady concepts, and the science doesn’t always have to be accurate — though it is much cooler when a show gets the science right. Apparently, the long-running BBC series can take pride in the fact that the Doctor’s description of time as ‘wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff, is co-opted by real-life astrophysicists.

In other words, theoretical concepts like time travel and warp drives could be possible, or they may not be. Maybe a Time Lord out there uses a British police box to travel through time. Okay, so Doctor Who probably isn’t right about that part, but there technically is still a chance that it is!

Cancer can be treated by blocking central conductor of cell division, study finds

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Researchers at NCMM have demonstrated the mechanisms behind the activation of Aurora B, a central conductor of cell division. Their findings, now published in eLife, can lay the foundations for developing new cancer drugs.

Cell division is a fundamental process for all living things, where one cell divides into two cells. It allows for a human being to grow from a single fertilized egg cell, for wounds to heal, and for dead cells within your body to be replenished with new cells.

By the time you have read this sentence, millions of cells throughout your body have divided.

New index could help measure risk for preterm birth

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

A new index that takes neighborhood and community conditions into consideration could be a useful measure for identifying preterm birth risk, a study published in JAMA Network Open found.

“We’re looking at outcomes at the county level or exposures at the county level,” Sara C. Handley, MD, MSCE, an attending neonatologist at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and instructor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, told Healio.

“So, what was the maternal vulnerability in each U.S. county, and then what were the rates of preterm birth in those counties? We looked at different types of vulnerabilities that were developed through the Maternal Vulnerability Index, and also the type of severity of preterm birth,” Handley explained.

Training the next generation of histotechnologists

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, education

Coming from a long line of educators all the way back to her great-grandmother, Toysha Mayer, D.H.Sc., swore she’d choose a different career.

“I didn’t want to teach, but after becoming a histotechnologist, I ended up working in teaching hospitals. It was a natural progression for me to work with new technicians, residents and fellows,” says the assistant professor and associate program director for Histotechnology at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center School of Health Professions (SHP). Histotechnologists prepare patients’ tissues so our pathologists can make precise diagnoses for diseases like cancer.
