medresearch: How ‘Smart’ Stem Cells Could Lead to Arthritis Vaccine Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis (WUSTL) have modified mouse stem cells to combat the kind of inflammation that arthritis and other conditions cause. The stem cells may one day be used in a vaccine that would fight arthritis and other chronic inflammation conditions in humans, a new paper suggests. The research is available in the journal Stem Cell Reports Such stem cells, known as SMART cells (Stem cells Modified for Autonomous Regenerative Therapy), develop into cartilage cells that produce a biologic anti-inflammatory drug that, ideally, will replace arthrit…

neurosciencestuff: Over millions of years retroviruses have been incorporated into our human DNA, where they today make up almost 10 per cent of the total genome. A research group at Lund University in Sweden has now discovered a mechanism through which these retroviruses may have an impact on gene expression. This means that they may have played a significant role in the development of the human brain as well as in various neurological diseases. Retroviruses are a special group of viruses including some which are dangerous, such as HIV, while others are believed to be harmless. The viruses studied by Johan Jakobsson and his colleagues in Lu…

npr: As a neonatal intensive care nurse, Lauren Bloomstein had been taking care of other people’s babies for years. Finally, at 33, she was expecting one of her own. The prospect of becoming a mother made her giddy, her husband Larry recalled recently— “the happiest and most alive I’d ever seen her.” Other than some nausea in her first trimester, the pregnancy went smoothly. Lauren was “tired in the beginning, achy in the end,” said Jackie Ennis, her best friend since high school, who talked to her at least once a day. “She gained what she’s supposed to. She looked great, she felt good, she worked as much as she could” — at least three 12-hour shifts a week until late …

For example, we can analyze the transistors based upon their activity during various games (left) or which transistors are necessary for a given game to function. Even with all the data and sophisticated analysis, our understanding of the inner-workings of the processor falls short of what we would hope.

the-future-now: the-future-now: Self-driving cars may mean 200 million fewer cars on the roads by 2030 Self-driving cars are a viable reality in the not-so-far-off future. In order to dramatically alter transportation, autonomous vehicles need to be embraced by consumers and businesses. But that shouldn’t be a problem, according to an optimistic new report by independent research group RethinkX. RethinkX forecasts that 60% of vehicles on the road will be self-driving cars within 10 years of government approval of autonomous vehicles. The group also anticipates each autonomous electric car replacing multiple private vehicles, which suggests the number of c…

Atlas Shrugged Starting? …. French Invented the Word Sabotage by the way. Car workers at a central French plant are threatening to blow up their factory, if their financial demands aren’t met. RT’s correspondent Charlotte Dubinskij went to the factory in the area of Creuse. She witnessed the workers smashing up parts of the factory, setting fire to rubbish, and seizing equipment. Could this be how humanity destroys the systems that don’t serve them well? What if this were to happen with the code that runs Amazon? or every Tesla car? Kinda scary when you think about it.

neurosciencestuff: Bilingualism may save brain resources as you age New research findings show that bilingual people are great at saving brain power, that is. To do a task, the brain recruits different networks, or the highways on which different types of information flow, depending on the task to be done. The team of Ana Inés Ansaldo, PhD, a researcher at the Centre de recherche de l’Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Montréal and a professor at Université de Montréal, compared what are known as functional brain connections between seniors who are monolingual and seniors who are bilingual. Her team established that years of bilingualism change how the brai…

Watch first ever parachute jump off megadrone in dramatic footage What could be the world’s first successful test drive of a super-powered drone took aerial-tech and dare-delivery to new heights in Taurene, Latvia, Friday, after the pilotless aircraft lifted kydiver Ingus Augstkalns aloft, only for him to parachute back down to earth. Hanging on to the drone, the aircraft lifted Augstkalns off his feet and into the air, where at around 330m above the earth, he let go. Quickly releasing his parachute, the skydiver flew safely back to earth, where he was greeted by his colleagues. World News
