Scientists find new way to treat high blood pressure

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

High blood pressure is a modifiable risk factor for heart disease and contributes about $131 billion annually to the cost of healthcare services, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In a study from Yale University, scientists found a potential target for the development of high blood pressure drugs.

Loss of epigenetic information as a cause of mammalian aging

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension

Aging is characterized by changes in cellular identity and function over time. This process is driven by changes in chromatin factor localization during DNA break repair, which alters the epigenome and advances the epigenetic clock. Expression of a subset of Yamanka factors, OSK, can reverse these changes and modulate aging.

Machine learning method improves cell identity understanding

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, robotics/AI

When genes are activated and expressed, they show patterns in cells that are similar in type and function across tissues and organs. Discovering these patterns improves our understanding of cells—which has implications for unveiling disease mechanisms.

The advent of spatial transcriptomics technologies has allowed researchers to observe gene expression in their spatial context across entire tissue samples. But new computational methods are needed to make sense of this data and help identify and understand these .

A research team led by Jian Ma, the Ray and Stephanie Lane Professor of Computational Biology in Carnegie Mellon University’s School of Computer Science, has developed a machine learning tool to fill this gap. Their paper on the method, called SPICEMIX, appeared as the cover story in the most recent issue of Nature Genetics.

I made this video with the help of Artificial Intelligence to prove the point Terence McKenna makes in this video that AI will surpass the human production in all the levels.

What did AI tools make?
- Tuning the audio quality to make it look like a podcast record, even though the audio was recorded with a low quality hand microphone in a party in 1998.
- Creating a realistic HD picture of Terence McKenna and tuning the color level, with background.

Chronic cough

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

A chronic cough is a cough that lasts eight weeks or longer in adults, or four weeks in children.

A chronic cough is more than just an annoyance. A chronic cough can interrupt your sleep and leave you feeling exhausted. Severe cases of chronic cough can cause vomiting, lightheadedness and even rib fractures.

While it can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint the problem that’s triggering a chronic cough, the most common causes are tobacco use, postnasal drip, asthma and acid reflux. Fortunately, chronic cough typically disappears once the underlying problem is treated.
